Brexit

UK out of Europe now.

Scotland & N.Ireland will probably be looking for independence .

...and Central London.

Interesting to see how the EPL will do if they can't sign 16yr olds from the continent.

it's such a tight vote, and I don't believe the referendum was binding. Government could still opt to stay. 

Can you imagine if they didn't?  Besides as they lost it and with the financial collapse Cameron's position must be close to untenable and after this Johnson is the heir to the throne and was a Brexit leader.  

Farage and Johnson to lead the UK.  It's like they have Trumped the US.

Yes, not legally binding but Cameron could get rolled by his own party (who I think the majority of tories support brexit) and whoever replaces him could start the brexit process.

There would be a backlash from certain people for sure. But it's a 1% swing, opinion is clearly divided. Personally I think they should take the result in consideration amongst the other pros and cons and make the decision that is actually best for the country. 

If the referendum showed a clear majority wanted the exit, then it'd carry a lot more weight in that process and be a lot harder to ignore such a clear public opinion. 

Of course this is thinking practically or ideally rather than politically. There will be political aspects to consider, as you mentioned. Plus the inevitable media clickbait that would occur if they go against the 51%

Mental.

It was mainly the  Labour heartland that vote for out.

The same as Wellington in NZ, London is liberal (although they weren't in the last election) the heartland are Tories.

The overall demographics of people that are voting to leave were older people and conservatives. The guardian said it best, they said something like what right do we have to give the next generation a future that they don't want.

I'm sick of conservatives the world over, the baby boomers are just trying to hang on to power as long as they can and screw everyone but themselves. Truly the most selfish generation.

How dumb are they?

i mean, seriously are they so fudgeing deluded in say Sunderland that the scaremongering of Murdoch and his sharkers outweighed the fact that Nissan who are one of the regions largest employers may well go?

I mean they build in Sunderland because it's part of Europe and they can move staff and sell vehicles across Europe. To them it was no different to Hungary or Spain for manufacturing. Now there is no incentive to stay.  If the EU put some draconian trade laws in as punishment and an incentive to stop anyone else leaving the EU all bets are off for the hundreds of thousands of UK jobs that are owned by major world conglomerates.

If only the media across the world considered themselves to have a duty of care to provide balanced and fair reporting.

This place isn't immune either with the likes of Hoskings and Henry leading the debate.  It's very, very rare that we see open and balanced reporting on any topics in this country be they sports, finance or politics.  Our media would rather bombard us with the sharkcodery that is the Bachelor or the Block.  

Reality TV an opiate for the fudgeing masses. 

Classic example of the goldfish media mentality.  Farage should be for hung for his 'not a shot fired' disgrace but the media cycle has moved on and it's forgotten.

I was vile and a disgrace (nothing new from Farage) and it should be a secondary story on every front page but it won't be.  Obviously if the person who had killed Jo Cox had been an immigrant it would still be front page news 10 days later.

Fudgeing cods.  Complete fudgeing cods the lot of them.

I could go on but instead I'm going to go and kick anything I can fudgeing find.

You are obviously  not watching Sky UK or the BBC  because it was the Labour vote that carried this vote not the the Tories.

Try Lancashire, Yorkshire and the North East.

Old people, thick people, and racists (some of whom cover all three categories listed) ruining it for everyone else.

The fact is the UK voted to leave and that is the bottom line.   20 billion dollars a year paid to Brussels. They deserve to make their  own decisions. They are not the same as the French, Germans or the Greeks.

So when the majority wins that is wrong?

It's hardly an overwhelming mandate, 1-2%

Leggy pro brexit?? Who would have thought?

Not sure I really care about the Brexit vote. Liverpool didn't qualify for Europe next season anyway!

I agree but it is still a majority.

The London Economic @LondonEconomic

The UK is no longer the world's 5th largest economy. The £ has fallen so far that France has overtaken us. #EUref

Lets assume that we had a south pacific union with countries like Fiji, Samoa, Tonga etc and the ruling government was in PNG and telling all how to run our country etc.

That's been debunked as yet another lie from them leave campaigners.  The amount isn't close to that high and well over that has already been lost off the price of the pound and the Stock Exchange.  Well over that amount will need to spent to leave.

Already down to 6th place in the worlds biggest economies.  Passed by France this morning.  Plenty more will as well.

Naive idiocy.

Except they don't.  They have some of the worlds best economies working together to decide what is best for the greater good.  Germany and France both larger than the UK.  Many of the most learned economists and oldest economies run by genuine world leaders in their fields.  

It's nothing like the Pacific region.  Nothing at all.  Argue your point but don't just invent bullshark.

Meanwhile in the Channel Tunnel #Brexit

Brace for the Spanish/continental European exodus from the Premier League.

Do you not think they have the right to vote for what they believe to be right?

And like in the epl, many skilled and willing workers have improved the products and competitiveness of the companies they work for in the uk.

What will happen to Greece? I may stand to be corrected on the next two comments but I believe the majority of Britons did not want to join the EU way back in 1974 anyway but it was the politicians whom did. Perhaps they saw a future gravey train for themselves on the European Parliament circut. 2ndly, it is true that Britain was paying the EU 159 million pounds per week for being a member?

Now everyone, think of the children.

That couple of per cent, has came directly from Blair and Bush's false war built on lies and oil in Iraq.

They invaded that country fudgeed it up, took its oil, made a quagmire and laid the fertile ground for Isis to breed

Isis was born made a mess of Syria and have caused the greatest refugee crisis in Europe since the Second World War 

The fear of those refugees has now caused Britain to close its shop door.
