Stop panicking Cp Jones. This was to be expected after the tales of doom pushed out for 3 months from you Remainers. To talk down our country was disgraceful.

Anyway cheer up the pound against the Euro is 1.25 this mornning marginally better than on Monday. The reason is that the Euro has fallen as much as the pound because as some of us have been saying our leaving the EU as the 2nd biggest net contributor and the EU biggest market will hit them hard and even harder if they play silly beggars with tarriffs.

Anyway the result is in and we all have to get on an make the best of our new found opportunities. Excuse me my little gloats but I have said enough and I wish Leavers and Remainers a very good day.

I occasionally turn on to the EU-funded BBC

Thought you'd gone Paddy

I thought you predicted remain would win?

I think i did open a can of worms!

don't usually agree with you but this time yes. now it's a leave vote we are all racist and thick. apparently all on the remain side are the only ones who are bright enough to understand and weigh up any implications

I see that neither Printer, Juan, nor the obviously delirious Sal, are willing to talk like normal human beings on this thread so I'll leave it there.

Can we still buy camembert and bratwurst..??? I'm confused.

This is how I see it too!
The mainline media and social media are accusing all 'outers' of being racist, right wing, ignorant idiots. Being called a racist is the worst insult anyone could throw at me. I want to welcome those escaping real and dangerous conflict in all parts of the world and others who genuinely seek better lives for their family and will work hard for it. We cannot do without people like this in the NHS and elsewhere. I do not want to be forced to accept criminals and undesirables simply because the EU says we must. That is not racist - it is a matter of ethics and morality, culture not racism. IMO that is at the heart of the rejection I hear from many. I voted out and I am happy to see that the majority have had their say and the fraud, corruption and financial mismanagement that threads through EU bureaucracy is now more likely to be exposed. We need to ensure that the rights of workers and other benefits/legislation, that came about by being of being part of the EU, are protected, but the rest of the stranglehold is now broken. That can only be good, although the 'money giants' , financial gamblers and purse string holders will be jumping up and down for some while. I think we all know, sadly, where the real power lies, but they are shaking in their boots this morning.

Bloody baby boomer brexit voters.

We are going to become a horrible grey p*ss ant little country.

Trouble is everyone I know bar one or two who voted out are racist and thick, most people's argument is purely based on phoney nationalism and immigration.

How exactly do we ensure that the good stuff that came about through EU membership is protected?
Having Boris as PM and Michael Gove as Chancellor?
Why would anything about the EU now be exposed?
How is it good for anyone if those with the real power are shaking in their boots?

all you're friends are thick? explains a lot then

Talking as an owl I thinks its a hoot, Toowit toYou Too

I did as I felt there would be a swing back to the status quo from the nervous risk adverse don't knows. More evidence that you cannot trust an expert's opinion

So childish insults all you can co e up with.

nope. but you seriously don't think saying all the people you know who voted out are thick??

I rest my case

As did I - thought it would be about 55%-45% Remain. Seems like many waverers held their nerve.

I voted to leave. I voted to leave for a few reasons, but immigration wasn't one of them. I was undecided for a while, but I then asked myself if I was voting to join the EU would I do so in it's current state? The answer is no. I've had doubts about the EU since the Euro was ludicrously created resulting in the shafting of the likes of Portugal, Spain, and Greece. The Greece fiasco, in particular was a disgrace, and proved to me that the EU, and ECB are not organisations we should have anything to do with.

But that's not what a said though was it.

I think we have an "Eats shoots & leaves/Eats, shoots, & leaves" problem here

Your original sentence:
[uTrouble is everyone I know bar one or two who voted out are racist and thick, most people's argument is purely based on phoney nationalism and immigration.[/u

Did you mean it in the context "everyone I know, bar one or two who voted out, are racist & thick" ie the Remainers you know are racist & thick & you only know one or two Brexiters.

or "everyone I know, bar one or two, who voted out are racist & thick" ie you know one or two Remainers, the rest are Brexiters who are racist & thick.

Two very different statements, depending upon where your commas are placed. Having read some of your earlier posts I now suspect you meant the former. However, I can see where the confusion for Tad arose. Punctuation can be important (that sounds grossly condescending - sorry)

I don't mind admitting I feel really sad. ..and frankly afraid of the genie now out of the bottle. I heard a man openly loudly say in a car park today that now we can get the fekking Poles out of the country.

Whether we like it or not many like this now feel emboldened.

Of course not everbody that voted Brexit are racists, bigots and xenophobes ...but all racists, bigots and xenophobes certainly voted Brexit.

Fundamentally the country is equally divided....this will take a long time to heal. I particularly sorry for my son and his friends who all voted Remain (part of the 75%) ...they feel particularly betrayed by the "old b'stards living in the past and whose pensions we have to pay".

You were one of the ones on here I thought was quite measured and clever on the Brexit side....it's a shame so many were not ....and are not.

Farage saying "a victory for ordinary people, decent people"....so the 48% are not?? The man has a lot to answer for.

I now understand how the Scots must have felt...indeed from listening to the radio today I now know. Although they were disappointed in this result they had no appetite for yet another divisive referendum, which pitted family members and former friends against each other. It WILL be interesting to see if the SNP will be the next to fulfill THEIR raison d'etre. Either way my son and his girlfriend have been looking at jobs in Edingburgh in the hope they will yet find a way to remain EU members.

As I say...truly sad day. I don't think I will be on here for quite some time (if ever). Somehow now RL just becomes even more trivial than ever it was before.

I can hear the cheers from Loiner81, Printer, Juan etc.

Bloody baby boomer brexit voters! Hogging all the wealth, with their careers done, mortgages paid off and pensions sorted. Probably had the least to lose if it goes to the dogs.

Whilst the first quote is obviously a dumb opinion held to discriminate against a certain group, is the what seems to be increasing 'blame' and finger pointing at the 'old vote' acceptable too?

Starting to see a lot of complaining that these "old folk" won't have to live with the consequences for too long unlike the younger generation.....so what? Should we have put an age limit on the vote and said no one over 50 could vote?
