Why people voted leave? I think the majority it was for nationalistic and xenophobic reasons and that worries me. The pound will not bounce back and we are heading for an economic slowdown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Davkaus Posted June 24, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2016 If Scotland and Northern Ireland do leave, do we just keep calling England and Wales the United Kingdom, or do we come up with a new name? England and Wales is a bit cumbersome. I vote for Wangland. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we have to protect our jobs against the scummy youth somehow! I feel for the poor buggers.

villarule123 Posted June 24, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted June 24, 2016 What will happen with the house prices? Will the interest rates go up, forcing me to sell up, losing my £60k deposit because the value of the house has gone down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Name calling, abuse and bickering over who they voted for isn't going to change anything now. It's done. We need to pull together and move on and make our country stable. Dunno man, I worry there are too many irreconcilable differences between the two sides. I feel genuine anger at those types who read the sun & voted to stop brown types from sneaking in but also realise there are those who voted to leave for honest reasons. I don't think people who side on either extreme can co exist and I worry the number of both types is large enough to cause problems. Im currently genuinely angry and feel very alienated from more than half of my fellow UKers and even older members of my own family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody knows...This would probably be a good time to get a fairly lengthy fixed term deal if you are able to and rising interest will make things too unaffordable. There's every chance interest rates will also go down, but I'm fairly pleased I'm locked in for 4 years, either way, nothing is certain right now.

EU students pay the same fees as UK students so it's likely that EU students will have to pay the sort of fees that non-EU students currently have to pay. Thus providing an incentive to not come to UK universities and UK universities will lose money. There's also a double whammy which is that UK students will have a much harder time getting into top universities in Europe which are significantly cheaper than their UK counterparts. So again, another example of the baby boomers negatively impacting on the futures of the young. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's the reassurance in all this? Yep. And even then the best reassurance I've seen is 'the pound will recover' Well thanks, I feel much better now.

Davkaus Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Well, there's no plan, and we don't even know who'll be leading the negotiations to leave. what comfort can there be? We've jumped feet first in to a very deep hole and are hoping there's something soft at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might find one or two I suppose, but it will be a lot like a game of this, except you're looking for one that isn't a wally! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 If it's true that Morgan Stanley already has a task force in place to move them out of London then that suggests to me they put the wheels in motion a while a go and are now using the shroud of the exit to justify their move they won't be the only ones to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
