Get the bubbly on ice Borris!

The turkeys have voted for xmas.

Scotland will now look at leaving and now N Ireland might push for it. Neverendum...

This will be interesting.

Great news I, for one am pleased. I like forging my own reality

I really reeeaaallllllyyyy didn't believe it would go this way.
Best get some legal advice as work is going to get interesting.

I should start forging your own money too...

For me it's a sad day reading the news today.
Modern times egocentric blindness?

this videao says it all for me

Saw this on social media;

"History won't be kind to the baby boomers. They were handed a world saved from tyranny and rode an unprecedented wave of wealth, health and security leaving their children with a lifetime of debt. And in their twighlight years they have voted like a precocious child, with no comprehension of how global the world has become."

“If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.”

Will the admins please lock these threads? They are argumentative. Divisive and are achieving nothing. Vote is cast.

I see no value in locking, no one is being nasty and it will likely die down of its own accord? any one would think this was a dictatorship!

+1

It's not all doom and gloom is it?

Be careful what you wish for.

Load of scare mongering as usual

It's not scaremongering when it's actually happening.

Well the FTSE100 is higher than it was 3 months ago if that graph was a bit bigger it would show a little more context not a sharp fall and slow recover! Its actually higher than it was on June 17th a week before

This just shows how this whole thing has been taken out of context by both sides including all the scaremonger's here there and everywhere
Nobody knows what will happen whether it is the correct decision or not, so long as everybody does there bit for our country we will do fine

So what does that actually mean?

Means whatever you want! but just be POSITIVE!

From the Beeb

"It was emblazoned across the Leave campaign's battle bus, but Nigel Farage says the £350m a week pledge for the NHS was "a mistake"."

The biggest mistake was that the 350m never existing.
What he said this morning was truly hysterical. I wonder how many people heard that and thought...

What, a politician was telling fibs??? But I believed him...

The guy's an idiot. He was asked outright by Suzanna Reid on This Morning, "Can you guarantee that the £350m you talked about will definitely be spent on the NHS?"

To which he gave a stuttered and typically Nige response backtracking and blaming other people.

Why didn't he just say, "No, sugartits, I can't guarantee that because I'm not in government."

I know, I heard. I couldn't believe he said it.
Next he'll say that immigration can't be controlled and the whole exit argument will collapse leaving a bitter taste and a confused population...

I can quite imagine some of the Brexit crowd swallowing the £350m claim in the whole "jam tomorrow" story.

Average age of around 26 in my office (around 1000 people) - deep gloom. Seems that it's the over-45s that wanted out

Yes it does feel that way. Possibly mainly the men from whom I've spoken to.

I received an email from the international CFO today, he was very glum about the situation. Alot of work to follow.

Looking at the guardian demographic graphs it was the less wealthy and less educated that voted out. Or as I put it, those with nothing to lose.

Still, York, Leeds and harrogate all voted in. Can we have an independent north / West Yorkshire??

That's what i thought at first but perhaps they are the ones that bear the brunt of it the most?

Quite possibly. Looking at all the graphs I'm shocked how many areas voted out!


I wasn't calling anyone names before all the crap starts mearly stating what the stats showed. It wasn't my opinion, just a conclusion I drew from it.

I know you wasn't and to be fair you have been one of the few that have been open minded and balanced, as much as i veered to the Leave side im certainly not feeling smug about it today!
But I think, feel,(I certainly don't know!) that it was the better of the two choices!

Tried to be!
It's emotive in any side and it also seems the middle...

As I said earlier it was an oldy v the young team which some pols showed to be the case. Whether the young team bothered voting I really don't know, but obviously like it or not the oldies did.
