European Union - Ramifications

[rowley birkin]

Just listen to all the merchants of doom. Britain has voted to save itself from sinking without trace into the EU cesspit; the decision has been made and now we need to roll-up our sleeves and get on with it.

It seems the turkeys have voted for Christmas.

One huge question is the future of the "United" Kingdom,

• Northern Ireland voted remain and has a land border with an EU state. United Ireland?
• Scotland voted remain and has already been rocking the boat. Independent Scotland?

and biggest of all

• London, driver of the UK economy for 30 years, voted remain.
• People under 30 - Britain's future - voted remain

Im under 30 and quite happily voted out

The EU is a load of bks.

I fail to see how it will effect jobs etc.

The financial situation will recover.

It will be a much better place without the eu and there meddling

Sure, if you like. Pop it into the Lounge then. But GG? This is for Porsche adverts, Honda love-ins and anti 4x4 tirades.

Ah Porsche adverts will now attract a further 10% import tax, Honda, bloody foreigners, lets invade and take back their factory in Swindon and as for those indian owners of Landrover...

London the driver of funny money failing banks and greed at the expence of manufacturing and long term
prosperity for the majority

I'm pleased with the result

I'm also interested in the ripples across Denmark, Italy, France etc... for their own EU referendums for in/out

Yeh. fk you, you old fking fks.

Charming. Have you seen the youth unemployment figures from Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece? That's what you had coming with Remain.

Grumbledoak, your comment is typical of the economically illiterate, irrational nonsense that the Leave campaign peddled. It makes no sense at all. The rates of unemployment, particularly youth unemployment, in EU member states have fk all to do with their membership of the EU and everything to do with each country's own domestic economic management. That's why youth unemployment rates have been astronomical in countries like France for decades, yet they haven't been in other member states.

Complete disaster, await the collapse of the UK economy and all the Ukippers moaning when they lose their jobs.

Didn't take long for Farrage to draw back the curtain and say we won't be giving the money saved to the NHS.

I'm glad everyone has a new found confidence in our politicians to lead change and make Britain a great nation once again.

They are a top class bunch who really know their onions, history tells us that.

You may fail to see how it will effect jobs, but anyone who understands economics can see it clearly.

I've been searching the interweb but cannot find figures to quantify this, where can I find an accurate breakdown of votes cast by age groups?

How on earth have we let this happen? What next Trump in the White House?

Give angry people a vote and they will pick change, regardless of the consequences.

This seems to be what happens when politicians don't listen. Rightly or wrongly people have been very concerned about the EU, how it works and what it does for individuals, these concerns haven't been adequately addressed and the public has spoken.

This.

Politicians are completely out of touch. Both in the EU and UK. Democracy means we have to accept what the majority vote for, so now we get on with it :-)

It seems a very large % of Europe does not want the EU in it's current form. But they press ahead with it? It'll be interesting to see how other countries react.

We are on the brink of financial disaster - this is a disaster. All of the outers will get their wish, total financial meltdown

Oh silly silly little Englanders who had no true understanding of the consequences of their actions. I hope they are pleased

Sore loser by the sounds of it. Personally I'm proud that we had the courage to leap into the unknown given the EU was a club that no longer worked for us. Sad that leaving was preferable to reform but that tells you about the arrogance Brussels has. I think Germany will follow and hopefully in years to come we can build new agreements for a more modern world. It will hurt for the short term but for future generations I believe this is right for Britain.

Now I'm off to put my George cross flags on my Transit! Hoorah!

I have said for years that coming out of the EU will make the country stronger in the long run. people are looking at the short term "oh the £ is going to crash" blah blah. Yes it will, and for a few years there will be a degree of uncertainty. BUT, as years roll on, we will start to find that as imports become expensive, exports become lucrative. More businesses will crop up out of the woodwork, we will start manufacturing again and bring Britain back to power.

As said above, all the people predicting doomsday and generally upset, lets just get on with it and make it work rather than sulk at how it didn't go the right way?

Or leave; it'll be interesting to see how many take that option.
