They are as good as gone, look at how Scotland voted, 60+% remain, they should leave the UK as soon as possible and take their oil with them.

The EU loses England and gets to deal with Sturgeon, not the best day for them either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought those of us that voted out were meant to be the brain dead imbeciles. The referendum is purely an instruction (or more correctly an advise) to parliament, it's not legally binding, I believe Cameron did promise the result would stick and be acted upon, good job for the leave campaign he's still prime minister then. Oh what was that. however it would probably be political suicide and show enormous balls to not uphold the result, well we can rule out anyone having the balls to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted June 24, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) I think a lot of parts of the UK will be in shock when they realise how much funding they actually get or have received from the EU.

Ingram85 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Say I decided "Right, I don't want to live in a xenophobic short sighted bigoted country anymore" and wanted to escape, is this even possible as my escape routes are now more difficult & more expensive to get to and I'll have **** all income/savings/equity to finance such an escape. Plus I work in the nhs. Im royally ****ed, trapped in a country I feel alienated from and can't do anything about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) It has to be said, the BOE has pretty much exhausted all of its monetary policy instruments, since the 2007 crisis it has done shit loads of QE and kept interest rates at record lows. So there's not much more it can do, obviously more QE is necessary right now and this has already been pledged, interest rates can't really go any lower unless they are going to be nominally set as negative. I wonder if they will eventually do some more unconventional stuff like helicopter drops. Edited June 24, 2016 by Dr_Pangloss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if you voted Remain, this will feel like a huge kick in the knackers, but everything is more or less the same for people like us for the next couple of years - at least. At least that will give you more than enough time to have a look at your options and come up with a sensible conclusion for yourself and your family. But look at the facts, listen to the experts - oh wait, we don't do that anymore.. Just use your gut bud, it'll probably work out in the end. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) You have two years, possibly longer, to GTFO if you so desire. I do, and will next year I think. Though it's somewhat easier for me as I just have to hop on a train. Suppose the English have an easy option too if Scotland jump ship sometime soon.

I remember hearing vaguely about it a few years ago, but it never came to fruition. I believe it was classed as "not good" though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need the peed off to stay and hold these people to account, be the dissenting voice and continue the debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
