Brexit

[chamber-music]

Close! South Shields.

I know. I was talking it over with my cousin after I voted and he said the North East is buggered if we leave. Years ago, we prospered with the ship yards and coal mines. The factory jobs are our main source of work; income...

Oh dear

You guys are screwed worst than the rest of us. The north east wasn't doing all that great to begin with. Things will be worst now.

I'm not sure if you're serious…? Based on what information did you vote…?

A good chunk of our population has placed Trump in a two person race for the Presidency. All our nations are full of idiots.

That is true.

 

[Naked Shia]

to think Craig is sleeping peacefully now, having immoderate dreams...

But you know what really pisses me off? He pretends he's not immoderate because he didn't ban people, but he did erase my Harry Potter XXX thread. That's unfair and immoderate.

Well... we could hopefully end up making the naval ships in the river tyne and open the coal mines again what with it all being European projects... wishful thinking

I'll be honest: I don't really have an answer for it. I always weighed the pros and cons on both sides of the argument. I held a belief, as an optimist, that Britain could stand on its own two feet.
But all these fragmentations, not just outside Britain, but inside it as well, has raised concerns I'd never have imagined arising.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

Oh gawd, Trump talking about (he's in Scotland talking about the exit) his German friends despising the others coming into Germany.

It's like history repeating itself again.

I guess we should be thankful the governments aren't executing them yet.

What logical information did you use to come to that conclusion, that Britain could stand on its own two feet?

I find it surreal that you voted in a direction that could quite literally wreck the economic circumstance in your immediate vicinity.

That's essentially what history does.

 

[chamber-music]

Labour leader corbyn facing a vote of no confidence as well now. The whole house of cards is crumbling.

Now we are walking into a dark age of right wing conservatives running the country with weak opposition to stop them. Kiss goodbye to the centre right

After precisely 80 years.

To be honest, I'm not a big fan of politicians, and when analysing their estimates and predictions over what might happen if Britain left, I completely ignored them. Scaremongering is what I believed they were doing and I didn't appreciate it.

Big buinsnesses in Newcastle, like the majority in London, wanted trades with the EU to remain. That's understandable.
Sunderland is not as prosperous as Newcastle, they're more of the little man, it's a smaller city... so the vote to Leave there came as quite as a surprise to many around the UK.
Even Shields, where many of us travel to Newcastle and Sunderland for our jobs, voted to Leave more than Remain.

I'm still trying to make sense of it.

 

[Raiden]

Well it didn't take long for people to start a London independence party.

Lets build a wall around the m25

Like Trump, they will ask EU to pay for the wall.

I think Brexit is going to become a disaster. It already is.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Isolationists and Brexit supporters right now.

 

[moviefreak]

The likes of Boris Johnsons & Nigel Farage are complete pillocks. They'll be worst than David Cameron. I have heard Boris Johnson (& a few blue-blood Tories) talked in flesh a couple of times --that was decdes ago, he was a bloody idiot of first order. Now he's worst.

Cameron is like the equivalent of Franz von Papen, the German nobleman who was close to von Hindenburg and who tried to control Hitler and his Nazi party by offering him the position of Chancellor (not under Nazi party) but ended up being marginalised by Hitler. Cameron is a lightweight, he's actually a Eurosceptic and he only sided with the Remain for political convenience. Cameron IMO is the true legacy of the John Major's hapless years --being that he was the PR guy for the former chancellors Norman Lamont who was on watch as the sterling exited from ERM (and George Soro made over billions speculating --short selling the sterling lol).

So the ramifications?

 

[moviefreak]

So the ramifications?

In short term, economic turmoil for the UK as it will be 2 years before the exit from EU being finalised and negotiating on trade & other deals goes on, something similar to Norway. I think that the EU (German & France mainly) will draw their pound of flesh.

Longterm UK still have to pay in EU for the trade, but wouldn't have any say at all. Also, UK need to open up the market to places like China and India, and not in a favourable condition for the local people. lol

 

[dude stannis]

So the ramifications?

All dem brown immigants will magically disappear according to Brexit voters.

 

[Slushy]

Condolences to all the UK posters on here. Y'all fu**ed!

 

[terry78]

Gooble gobble, one of us....gooble gobble, one of us.....

 

[moviefreak]

It'll be around 2020 when UK fully exited from the EU and by that time there'll be a newly elected PM from possibly a new party that is not traditional Tory or Labour (new & old).

No, no, not UKIP or the likes. They don't have the number.

 

[Donner]

Parliament should just vote this down. It might be political suicide, but some things are more important. This is one of those things.

 

[Trainwreck2100]

So the ramifications?

i'll admit to be mostly ignorant on this particular issue but I do believe this is unprecedented,..... so we don't know?

 

[Filmfan93]

I am from Bulgaria and currently a student in the UK. I graduated 1st year at uni just recently and I am very upset about the EU referendum result...

Some of my UK university colleagues, aka the so-called ''Leave'' voters which I worked in a group with, ended up doing nothing in that group while I did 99% of the work and let them pass.

And then there are the people who say that us immigrants damage UK's economy by taking advantage of the benefits and stealing jobs from UK citizens.

This is not always entirely true. Now consequences will be bad for the few of us immigrants, who actually came to the UK with the intention to do something and work our asses off to succeed. And actually driving UK's economy by doing so.

#Superhands was right

All dem brown immigants will magically disappear according to Brexit voters.

EU bureaucrats have already said they ain't giving access to the single market without Britain also allowing movement of EU citizens in the UK so anyone who voted leave because they thought it would stop EU migration are going to be in for a shock.
