See. Wasn't the carnage that was predicted. Though that may yet come as the details are worked out...

This is the worst day on my screen since 2008.
What are you looking at?

The news was saying worst for 30 years. I was looking at Eu markets worse that UK ones, the £/Euro is same as 2 years ago. Much of the losses have regained.

Still carnage in my book!
If you think the pound dropping just 9% vs. the USD rather than 10% then WOOHOO!! You're right.
But it still feels like a bad bad bad day!

No pain, no gain. It was expected, it happened, it's part of the cancer cure and some people have to take a little bit of a dunt for the greater good.

It was always going to be painful, but it's not been too painful and if it gives those unelected, self-serving twunts in the EU a wake-up call, then so be it. Had they been open to real reform and been a little less self-serving, then this would not have happened. Folks in the UK are sick of the wealth divide - and I say that from a very favourable position myself.

We will come out of this stronger in the long term.

I strongly feel this vote will widen the wealth divide sadly.

I truly hope you are right but it's going to be a damn tough road to get there.

No-one knows, for sure. It may be right, it may be wrong.

But, if we look at it as a new begining, then perhaps it can be made positive and instill some national pride back into our laminated society.

If the results thread is anything to go by the whole referendum has just created a massive divide throughout the country.
I certainly didn't expect to be living in a country where someone would should "traitor" at me for having a remain poster up outside my house.

It might have been healthier if the referendum hadn't been based on location - you'd just get X votes vs Y votes and the result would be an 'average' of the entire UK.

But we seem to be straying from Finance.

UK has a fair proportion of twunts, it has to be said! Maybe first action is to cull them and get the rest working...

That is IMO a real concern. Conservatives in turmoil, labour in turmoil, London "in", Midlands and North "out", Johnson and Farage at the controls - where is any sort of consensus going to come from?

It matters because one thing is certain - unless UK looks stable, foreign investment here will be yesterday's news.

You could return to the Rotten & Pocket Boroughs method of elections a lot less bloody than a cull....well initially.
