One For The Road Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Well that's that. An irreversible decision to leave the EU, mostly taken by people who are highly unlikely to ever make a difference. Having a record number of pensioners vote meant that people who won't even be alive in a few years time, have helped damage the country for future generations. In addition, many bigoted racists have got their way. Most of which have never or will ever contribute to our society. We will never get this vote again, yet we will feel the repercussions of this for generations. I am furious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a vast middle ground out there if you care to listen I didn't vote Conservative at the last general election and I've apparently called those who did toffee nosed, elitist, rich public schoolboys who were out for themselves.

Yep, because here in NI we'll obviously need to get our £320m/year that the EU provided also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I voted out, so according to some of the posters in this thread, I must be a ignorant thick racist, amazing. I'm just wondering if we could fit all 17m in Wales and get Trumps 'wall builders' in. Plenty of land there, I think it's doable. 'The People's Republic of Glorious Isolation' Boris at the helm, Nige on border control, Gove the Toad running schools, IDS making sure the poor and disabled are kept in line, George - just to make sure no financial targets are ever actually met and Maybe even Murdoch in to run the new state media? Glorious oh and I know George was an 'inny', but he's a world class word removed, so they'd take him I reckon.

Rumour from Chris Ship ITN News editor. Pretty obvious. This will also be the case for a number of law firms and other professional services. That HSBC 'head-office' which was coming to Birmingham will probably not happen either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) With the way the sterling is going, expect higher petrol and food prices. Inflation is about to set in. The Bank of England really have their work cut out. Edited June 24, 2016 by Dr_Pangloss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not a huge amount they can do given the BOE remit. They will cut rates (which are already extremely low) and run more QE, that's absolutely certain.

Paddywhack Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 One phrase that I keep hearing and it's pissing me off; "Overnight and everybody thinks they're a politician/financial expert". Not really, they're people in a democracy voting in probably the most important referendum in their lifetime, they can say what they want. It's the equivalent of saying 'ooh, you're hard' like David Brent in an argument. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree but it is a little annoying seeing people on social media who've no idea of what it's all about screaming and shouting and/or gloating and celebrating.
