I can offer a reason why - they have *lived* with it for 40 years, watching what they were *told* would just be a free trade area, gradually turn into bureaucratic monster that seeks to flatten Europe into one uniform pancake.

 

It's all very well saying they've opted out because they've lived with it for so long but clearly the majority of anyone under 30, those who will have to live with this the longest from today wishes to remain in the UK.

 

I really feel the elderly have shot on us from the Scottish Independence vote.

 

In Any case Scotland voted to stay in with quite a large majority so if Scotland does go for Independence in the next few years again I hope they consider rejoining Europe once more.

Tell that to Project Fear... :P

 

What? Telling people that there could be financial turmoil and it's a giant leap into the unknown which could totally backfire, which is pretty much exactly what is happening to the markets right now as big businesses/investors can't get the f*** out FAST ENOUGH.

 

No, the real project fear has always been the leave campaign and their stoking of the basest level of hatred and xenophobia around immigrants and even Farage himself has now come out with a statement that it was a ''mistake'' to claim the £350M a week comment. Oh look, it's taken him all of 3 hours to backpeddle on his lies.

Cameron has announced his resignation.

Dave is gone by October then. No surprise at all.

So it's OK for Scotland to blame it's ills on England, but not OK for england to blame its ills on the EU? :wacko:

And how do you think the English would have reacted if their vote to leave had been blocked this way?

Yes. Yes it is. And do you know what that is? Because one has basis in fact and the other is a figment of Nigel Farage's imagination. For umpteenth time you illiterate xenophobe - the problems facing the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland ARE CAUSED BY THE IDEOLOGY OF THE PAST TWO DECADES OF BRITISH GOVERNMENTS. The European Union is not the bogeyman for problems that are perfectly fixable by investing in our own economy.

 

 

I'd imagine it's how Scotland is feeling right now. You cannot tell us that we're "Better Together" and that the only way to safeguard our EU membership, which as we've just demonstrated is important to Scotland, by voting No. Because some bought that steaming turd from Cameron and because he refused to put the double lock on the vote we're now leaving the European Union against the Democratic wishes of 32 of Scotland's 32 local authorities (first time they've unanimously agreed on anything in years) and the majority of constituencies in Northern Ireland - not to mention a overwhelming majority of the electorate in both nations.

I'm completely devastated :( this is the final straw. I'm so completely and utterly ashamed of this country

Good riddance to bad smells. Now he can take his economically illiterate sidekick with him.

 

I'd celebrate more if it wasn't for the fact that what is waiting in the wings is oh so very much worse.

Won't be next few years, will be before the UK leaves EU. Nicola is a clever lass, that vote will be coming soon to capitalise on the anger and to get in there before the EU and UK come to any deal so that Scotland can approach both with the logical proposition of being the legal successor state to the United Kingdom from the EU's POV allowing rUK to negotiate a fresh set of terms as if it was a new country approaching the EU.

I voted for Independence last time and I will surely back independence again. Oh and I will gladly vote to rejoin the EU!!

 

David Cameron is a Toss Pott. He should never have even mention this while EU business in the first place.

Common Nonsense

 

 

:rolleyes:

Good grief, someone has got Norman Tebbitt out of his coffin.

:rolleyes:

It's a damned sight politer than what I've been calling you

Whispers on twitter that there's shots being fired for a Corbyn coup as well. Might as well get the full set I suppose!

If we could get corbyn gone then at least one good thing will be happening as a result

Of this

I'm feeling very cold this morning (odd, because it's SO HOT). I feel ashamed to be British, to be part of a nation which I naively assumed to be inclusive and accepting of others was wrong. Yes, I know there are the 48%, but I'm pretty sure this will rip us apart. The majority of Scotland and Northern Ireland wanted to stay in the EU, almost the whole of Gibraltar wanted to remain.

 

All the racists out there who think that millions of Eastern European immigrants are suddenly gonna be deported, have another thing coming. In fact, I believe we will try to stay in the Single Market which kinda negated the whole '90million people are in the queue to join the EU speil'. The leave camp have practically already done a u-turn on their ridiculous £350million for the NHS claim.

 

I just don't have the words. :(

The Bank of England has announced that they have £250 billion available to throw at any problems caused by yesterday's vote. To put that sum in context, it is probably more than we would have spent on EU contributions from now until the day I shuffle off this mortal coil.

Whispers on twitter that there's shots being fired for a Corbyn coup as well. Might as well get the full set I suppose!

Corbyn's campaign was woeful. If that is s sign of how he would run a general election campaign, the Labour party are better off without him.

I this case Scotland voted 62% in favour of remaining in the EU so yes we will blame our ills on England in thus case.

 

So at least there's no change there, then... :w00t:

 

 

But I like pancakes.

 

Not if you're the pancake that's being eaten... ;)

 

Cameron has announced his resignation.

 

He really didn't have much choice - he broke one of the unwritten rules of politics : Never call a referendum unless you are virtually certain of the result. His party pretty much forced him into it though, he thought it would take the wind out of UKIP's sales.

 

In a strange way he has actually succeeded in that - with the vote won, there's no longer any need for UKIP... :wacko:

 

Yes. Yes it is. And do you know what that is? Because one has basis in fact and the other is a figment of Nigel Farage's imagination. For umpteenth time you illiterate xenophobe

 

There's no need for abuse. :(

 

The fact is - the people have decided, and Remain's supporters are just going to have to accept it.

I'm done with the U.K. My granddad is Canadian so I might look into moving there potentially.

 

The next move will be us voting ukip in power.

I'm not going to accept this just like that. I passionately voted against this outcome for many of the reasons which have already unfolded this morning

To add insult to injury the French are officially the worlds 5th largest economy. The Sterling has fallen so far in the last 7 hours that we have already had billions wiped off our GDP (which is measured in USD)
