it looks very much like it's the working classes and northerners who have really voted for this, and unfortunately it's going to be them who suffer first when the the job losses and factory closures start kicking in.
btw - banks already starting to talk about moving staff from the UK and into Europe. that means less payroll taxes and business taxes coming into the coffers. companies will not be making investment decisions, they won't be buying new equipment etc and slowly but surely the economy slows down , jobs are lost, less taxes come in and more is spent on benefits.
but at least we won't have immigrants coming in, so that makes it all worth while.hurray!
Less jobs, but no more immigration to take the fewer jobs out there. Equals itself out |

More like waking up to a nightmare. It's the leavers who think they are in a dream world fantasy land. They'll realise the truth soon enough.

Not when you haven't got anybody willing to work on the farms, picking the fruit and veg.
Not to mention the fact that there will be fewer jobs available as the economy shrinks in the first place. I really don't think most people have a clue just how precarious the state of our economy is at the moment. Unfortunately, they are likely to find out soon.

I fear you don't know the damage you have done for the young people of this country. All we need now is Boris Johnson in charge and we are well and truly fooked. Sad day for me and i'm a little embarrassed that people from my area voted overwhelmingly for xenophobia, when most of them couldn't spell it, never mind know what it means. Bet most of them couldn't point to Brussels on a map.
Just because you didn't get the result you wanted doesn't mean you should just claim the majority of the people that voted are suffering from xenophobia. I read your kneejerk comments as saying that everyone who voted to Leave is a xenophobe. I find that claim insulting. I know this result has prob shocked, surprised and prob even scared you. Take a deep breath give it a few days for the news to sink in and for the dust to settle, then come back rational and calm. |

If there's nobody to work on the land, farmers will have to offer a decent living wage that brits will do it for, instead of the government handing out tax credits to the underpaid. Yes, prices will go up but the government tax take from wages will go down. Even with companies like Tesco who's staff make their money up to a living wage by claiming tax credits. And staff wanting a living wage being undercut by EU nationals. |

Working the land is back breaking work, pay enough wages and you'll get workers locally.

If these big London-based multinational banks are threatening to pull out, let them. I hope (dream?) we can start manufacturing things in this Country again, with British companies spread across the country instead of London sucking in all the wealth, being held to ransom by London multinationals, and less reliant on cheap imports of trainers from China, cheap imported steel flooding the market etc. Pipe dream? I don't know.. |

So what sort of things are you going to start making then? the raw materials will be imported for the manufacturing so, with the collapse of the pound, will be 5-10% more expensive than yesterday.you've already mentioned about raising wage levels so the goods that are produced become even more expensive, even before you've added the tariffs that will be imposed by the countries you're trying to sell the goods to. you might not like it but financial services basically keep this country afloat. they start pulling out and we will be in even more trouble than we already are |

I said " its a double whammy "
We are out and Cameron has resigned
Her reply was " Hooray " !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will never say this was a good decision, 75%. Say it again 75% of 18-24 years olds, including myself, voted to remain in the EU. This is my future, and we have left through votes of those these decisions wont affect. Its a democracy, but that isnt fair, the young have been well and truly shafted, again!! Its an uncertain time, very worrying, and all i can say is i hope your dam flipping proud of yourselves
