The off topic thread

You've said the change won't have an impact and that the decision has been made that will give control back to Britain. At the least you don't seem to care that Britain is about to lose its triple A rating, or that the economy had lost 350bn in two hours.

Apparently farage already admitting some of his promises can't be held to, such as increased NHS investment. It's an utter disaster.

What happens to North sea gas and Oil if Scotland vote for independence, surely the UK (England) would lose their grip on that?

NI and the Republic might reunite after all.

lol, it's like a giant game of dominoes.

England is bound for recession. Can't believe anyone could think that this decision will have no impact on people's lives.

Martial, schneiderlin, kante and others are now ineligible for work permits, from a football perspective lol.

I think they just might

Scotland depended on England staying in the EU, now it's gonna be hard for them to get into the EU even if they vote for independence

Welp, upside is immigrants won't be taking your jobs anymore, downside is no one would be taking any jobs coz there ain't no jobs for anyone to take

Seems like their going from having a seat in a very powerful Economic block to being a small fish in a big pond (China, India, US) where they may not get favourable trade deals, still have to abide by EU regulations to trade with them (which may still include foreign workers). Struggle to see how they come out ahead on this.

baffling it's the working class North who have led the leave charge and who will be affected most you'd think.

Farrage now saying they made a mistake saying they would save 350m pounds if they left the EU.

Not surprised...

Most of my family are voting remain up in North West England. Liverpool has benefitted greatly from the EU with plenty of fuss going into the city for the 2008 European capital of culture thing. Plenty of car part component factories there rely on trade within the EU (my wife's cousin has a job at Ford there ).

I can see the south voting out for valid reasons. Should be interesting. They should make voting mandatory.

the should definitely make voting mandatory. Imagine the money they could make.

Yep. John Oliver made the point well on Monday. Incredible to think how foolish they've been.

that's not true

All the people taking potshots at Brexit really don't understand it at all. Maybe if you'd seen your wages go backwards for 2 decades while asset prices increase then you might though.

Xenaphobic? Pot, kettle, black lol

The Dutch and French are already calling for a referendum to leave the Eurozone.

They have more people wanting out as a % of their population than Britain.

The German election is early next year and the french one late this year.

 

[SM]

that's not true

Yes it is.

On a plus side I'm getting paid in US dollars at the moment.

Sorry mate, but this argument is ridiculous. Britain is the major trading partner of basically every eurozone country. The EU needs Britain a lot more than Britain needs the EU.

Trade deals will get done and several laws and regulations will be grandfathered.

The Brexit supporters expected the Pound to decrease to its worst in 30 years in the matter of a few hours?

Much better to voluntarily enter a recession and see the market lose 350bn, as well as the welfare provided by the EU.

 

[Doctor Bojan_]

Yes it is.

no it's not.

 

[moomba]

Yes it is.

Why wouldn't they be eligible for work permits?

You don't understand how financial markets work.

 

[Doctor Bojan_]

Why wouldn't they be eligible for work permits?

and the fact that existing regulations are very highly likely to be grandfathered.

 

[Loonerty]

You don't understand how financial markets work.

Enlighten me. It's a good thing?
