| Pound at its lowest level against the dollar since 1985 and the markets don't even properly open for a few hours...
All you eejits who thought this "wouldn't make a difference" are about to have your theories empirically tested.

Never underestimate how easy it is to manipulate people when the media is largely controlled. People will, by and large, do just what they're led to do.'"
Funny how little faith people have in democracy when they don't like the result

I'll revisit this thread in a few months when we're moving from recession to depression and give Juan a lesson about "speculation" and "facts".
For now in my professional life I, along with a lot of other people, will be busy trying to mitigate the worst of the effects, but a lot of it will be p!ssing in the wind. At least I can get an Irish passport for myself and my family and have freedom to choose what to do next within the EU. Most won't be so lucky.'"
Close the door behind you

I don't know of one person, not one, who didn't think there would be a period of political & economic instability immediately following a Leave result. Most right-minded folk saw this as a medium- to long-term opportunity for the UK.

Just noticed your location. Suggest you might want to change the above to Little Englanders & Little Welshers. Well done to your fellow-countrymen!

| I'll go back to what I said before. Whilst I edged towards a remain vote, the attitude of so many remain voters towards 'leavers' is/has been embarrassing. Words like racist, xenophobes, idiots, uneducated, little Englanders have created an almost rebellion and I have seen some undecided people edge towards Leave because of that. The looking down their nose approach to Juan on this thread a prime example.
Maybe quite a lot of remain voters have to look in the mirror and look at how they conducted themselves during this, trying to shame and insult voters.

I am not a particularly prolific contributor on here, nor, away from this board, have I been particularly vociferous about the referendum to colleagues, friends or family. But the above condescension from some (not all) Remainers prompted me to contribute & back up Juan's case (as best I could!)

| You mean people who believed Boris Johnson was leading a "rebellion-like" campaign against the establishment?
I'll say it again, never underestimate how easily people can be manipulated when the media is controlled.

And you can say it as many times as you like, doesn't mean it's true. As I haven't bought a newspaper in 15 years, it most certainly isn't true in my case. Perhaps we should make Guardian-reading compulsory for all secondary school children?

This is exactly my point. The view that leavers have reached their decision because they are easily manipulated. Whereas remainers are so wise and done their homework and are unmanipulated.
