Good riddance.
They had it all, a leading voice in the EU and benefits and rights for workers domestic and within Europe.
Hopefully, the jobs that flow out of the UK will now go to more deserving member states.

The people of Great Britain have regained control of their own destiny. Hurray! I hope more country’s in Europe come to their senses and free themselves from the domination of Germany and to a lesser degree France. More local governance is always better. Next up - Cal-exit.

Probably the most stupid thing we've done as a nation. But, cheer up, the rich people will all get richer off the back of it.

@Luddite
Does it make you seriously think about naturalising here?
It does me....

Nope. It's in the hands of the greedy, grubby politicians as it ever was.
And the people of NI/6 counties are the ones who will suffer the most, should the DUP and other bigots hold sway.

Look at all these grumpy posts.
The “people“ voted. The referendum successfully passed, however narrow. We should respect the outcome & wish them the best. Not throw tantrums.

It will end like the bank robber who served ten years in the nick after hiding all the money under a tree, coming back with his spade, and finding heathrow runway 4 is built on it.

I'm sure the people of Northern Ireland/the occupied 6 counties will happy to hear that.
Is a return to a hard border with all the troubles that it could bring a price worth paying?

Well done, Great Britain!
Others in the EU are looking at you with envy.

It would be very serious indeed, zichi.
That's not to say sectarianism and paramilitarism don't exist - they do. But it's not the wishes of the people and it's mostly on the loyalist side.
I think if another referendum was held, it would be fascinating. But in a grim way. The wretched Tommy supporters and other fascists would cry foul and those who see the EU as a shadowy bureacracy with nothing to offer would see it as a conspiracy.
The whole thing is a mess. But the more the Brexiteers ignore the wishes of Ireland, north and south, the more a grave situation has the potential to develop.
It will be very interesting to see how things progress when (as it's only a matter of time) Sinn Fein form a government.

The globalists are hating it.
