BREXIT Just Happened...

What the *** are you talking about Lordgrim.

For your own safety and health, please do not attempt to engage the creatures in the exhibits. Merely observe and take note of how not to behave as a well-adjusted adult in the world at large.

Cloudy here.

Cloudy, likely raining, also look.

I get there are people with very reasonable (correct or not) thoughts on why exiting the EU was appropriate.

...but my there also seems to be a lot of what I can only think to refer to as "British Donald Trump Supporters" who subscribe to Mr. Toupee's brand of "national greatness."

That is, holy *** Britain had way more racist jackasses than I realized.

Most keep it under wraps. but holy cow this has opened the can of worms

that is a very very poor lay out for a facts. it literally tells you nothing

at least chart it properly

Anyways. How do you think it will be ok still when three of the leading political parties are in total turmoil. How is that ok?

How is Trading in the Housing secterbeing halted OK?
That isn't an Over reaction. That is the facts.

How is that chart ok?


How is that ok?

Around 4 million, are xenophobic to some extent (number of UKIP votes during the last general election). The other 13-14 million who voted out don't care about country of origin, many wanted hard working migrants from non EU countries to have the same rights as EU migrants. Call us racist all you like but I have a Turkish friend who has built up a business from the ground up without the benefit of our welfare system and he feels like he is overlooked and his contribution is not valued compared to EU migrants who automatically get hand outs because they are from within the EU. Who exactly is discriminating in this scenario? The people who want one group to have advantages because they are from the EU, or the people who think everyone should have the same rights, ragardless of their country of origin?

Many voted leave because we believe smaller more localized government is better for it's citizens, and passing greater power to an unelected Euro elite is not beneficial to the regular working class.

The fact that the Sterling is still falling is horrible. I guarantee that the pound sterling is going to be devalued soon...

You're defending yourself and others when it isn't necessary. I have very good friends -- young ones -- who voted "exit."

What I'm saying is that some of those people who wanted to exit clearly wanted to do so for less-than-savory reasons.

I'm an American. I'm the last person to judge a society by it's lowest-common-denominator. Because while I don't believe in karma, I try to avoid hubris wherever possible nevertheless.

I'm aware all societies have some troglodytes hiding in the dirt. I simply wasn't aware how many were lurking in the UK.

Maybe I'm just jaded because they're so easy to find in the U.S.

I got a spam email about a £500 Amazon gift card. Gonna have to change your schtick, spammer.

Well if you check the stock market it is more like 250 !

It has literally always been like this. Fought two full-blown wars and lots of little skirmishes with the British and immediately once "peace" was established we were BFFs again.

We've always been inexorably linked with each other, it's just a matter of posturing. And, you know, human lives. But who's counting?

Heard the Obama quote on the radio this past weekend. Was like wtf when I heard it

There is a difference between letting the UK fall and putting the UK behind the EU on the priority list. Obama clearly said we would negotiate our trade deals with the EU first, UK second. Don't expect any favors.

*rolls eyes*

Exactly, almost every nation said that they would be disappointed with us if we voted to leave.

And it's utterly disgusting the amount of racism and Xenophobic comments that have been let out the bag too.
The Polish Cultural center was graffiti'd with Racist comments

I'm not suggesting a "Told you so" Manourism. I'm suggesting more that we have let so much more out of that bag than what your stating. You ignored my previous response to you 3/4 pages back too.

You realise that petition was started by a pro-brexit person right? He was expecting a narrow remain victory and pre-emptively started that petition and it just got hijacked by unhappy remain voters.

Also the referendum was advisory, so many things are falling apart right now along with the very real possibility Scotland and Northern Ireland could leave the UK.

So go along with that or just ignore the results of a ridiculously tight referendum and stay in the EU, will there be riots? I dunno, you tell me, with the bulk of leave voters being of the older members of society I hope there is a riot, it would be bloody hilarious.

That link has no relevance to what I said.

And from what David Cameron is saying in Parliament right now. He wants NO part in any of this anymore. So we have 3 Weeks of Exactly this. Racism running rampant. Political and financial uncertainty. That is not good...

3 Weeks? I mean 3 Months.

Can we stop for a moment and address a very important matter:

Does this mean we drop the U and it's now just "The K?"

Because that'd be kinda neat.

He effectively washed his hands of this whole mess when he announced his resignation, he only had interests in leading a UK inside of the EU. People prompted him about this situation during campaigning and he said he wouldn't resign but if he had admitted he would resign then people would have voted leave just to get him out.

That would basically be it, the UK would be done as it would just be the good old bromance of England and Wales, not really a United Kingdom at that point.
