I hear that Farage is going to insist for a wall to be built around England, (and it will be a 'uge, beautiful wall) and make Germany pay for it.

Are you sure you are american but not a 'daughter of a Soviet officer'? Your post sounds kind of direct translation from Russian political forums. They are very happy there too.

I am curious what Stones fans think on Brexit so thanks. Seems fans to be against BREXIT by a two to one ratio.

Well, as an American, perhaps you should be aware that it was the UK - not just England - which was voting in the referendum although, to be fair, Scotland and Northern Ireland did vote to remain, but Wales didn't. There will now be discussion of a second Independence referendum in Scotland on the back of this result which was driven in the media by racism and xenophobia.

Sorry-Americans get sloppy when speaking of the UK and England. I hear that Scotland would and maybe will vote to return to the EU after another vote for Independence. But that Wales and Northern Ireland will stay with England on Brexit. Meaning they will choose England over the EU.

Disgusted with the stupidity of people in this country. Bad times ahead.

We have Trump here on the Board.

We can give him some advise for Stones music for his campaign.

Most American conservatives despise Europe, thinking it's nothing but a bunch of a quasi-socialist nanny-staters, and actively root for it to fail as "proof" that liberal policies don't work (a bald-faced lie, but whatever works for them).

That's why they're so happy about this crackup, damn the consequences.

The gangs had trudged off home
The lights clicked off in the bedsits
An' old England was all alone."

...and can come to the conclusion that " Belgium is beautiful City"

It is only a referendum, Parliament can overrule in theory.......just sayin'.

Meanwhile, with the pound at its lowest rate against the dollar since 1985, that Coachella trip just got a lot more expensive......

They could overrule, given that most MPs and their parties were in favour of remain. But...the government's official policy has been "remain in the EU" - those people can't legitimately stay in power and oversee our exit so there's likely to be general election soon and a change of leadership in the other parties.

Brexit Day 1

Nigel Farage confirms the fictitious £350m we would save every week won't go to the NHS after all

The pound has fallen to a 35 year low

£120 billion wiped off UK FTSE 100

Morgan Stanley confirm they are moving 2000 highly lucrative investment service jobs to Ireland

Scotland and Northern Ireland confirm they will push for independence and therefore dismantle Great Britain

Our Prime Minister has resigned little over a year after being elected

And it's only bloody lunchtime!

Yup, just saw that on an American blog that I frequent...

[driftglass.blogspot.com]

At least the reporter followed up forcefully, unlike the pitiful corporate "reporters" we have in America who would have let that slide.

Should never have been a referendum in the first place .

1, Both sides of the argument have spouted a lot of exagerated nonsense

2, This has further exacerbated the issue of most voters either not being qualified to express a valid opinion and/or voting on the basis of issues totlly unrelated to the question in hand !

Its complete b*llocks .

I'm just crossing my fingers that when all the dust settles and pragmatism returns, not a huge deal will have changed for anybody.

The UK will still want to get on with Europe and Europe willwant to get onwith the UK. It wouldn't aid either entity to compromise ease of trading with each other.

Especially for our region. The European Regional Development Fund provides £205 million (50% revenue or capital funding) in investment for Tyne and Wear & Northumberland innovation, businesses, low carbon and climate change projects... but fundamentally CREATED JOBS.

The North East is especially doomed with this decision, we'll be further in the shadows in the eyes of Westminster.

Yeah this has been a day for the ages and not in a good way. Probaly the worst day for the UK since 1940

This how to shoot yourself in the foot. As an eu citizenship I could not vote, but saw how the leave campaign managed to capture a momentum and get votes from the discontented, who believed their claims. The financial industry is the main economic staple of the UK like or not and they have already contingency plans to move jobs elsewhere. What is going to replace it? This is a
massive failure to see the bigger picture.

Would be interesting to know, how much hedge funds earned of the last few days hike of the GBP versus USD. I guess quite much.... 100's of millions GBP at least.

What a Brawful Day!

From a Rolling Stones point of view: I cant imagine The Stones losing any money since they have all their financial 'services' going thru my homeconuntry The Netherlands.

They're going to make money out of the Brexit. As the GDP's crumbling it's tempting to buy some provisionally discounted £ with stronger Euros.

Mick's gonna make a few more mils! ><

I can't imagine any heavily diversified investor will make money today.

Some hedge-funds most likely have had their lucky day.
What we loose, others win

The big drop in the beginning of day - private investors selling out.
The usual story, private investors wrong timing.

This was a vote fueled by anti-immigrant sentiment. The UK has always derided the US history of racism, and rightly so. But the xenophobia in the UK runs deep, at least among the older generations.

Well true. And some large investors may have such funds. I don't so I lose.

Wahay!!!!!! We won't be ruled by unelected prats in Brussels and the European Court of Human Rights can go screw itself. AND we won't be paying a fortune for the "privelege".
And another thing, I reckon many more people wanted out but voted to remain because they were scared into it.
We're only a small island but we've got half of Europe here already. Do we want the other half too? No we bloody don't.

The immigration issue in US is complex and commonly misrepresented as racism. There's a legal means and an illegal means though "illegal" has been unfairly equated with racism so inappropriately wiped from the language.

The big concern to me is not Mexicans but that if they're so freely able to move between countries who else is coming in that we don't know about? And we have a much larger border with Canada which rarely gets mentioned. Securing the borders is a real concern.

is that you Nigel? don't talk bollocks

A lot of this is localised, Scotland, Wales and NI voted against leaving; but in Blackburn, they are voting 56% to leave vs. 43%.

As said, it's a bit more than some representations.

Vs. London and how they voted, one can make their own judgments and observations on the differences.
