We really need to wait until we have a new prime minister and negotiations begin before we start trying to judge how fucked or not fucked we are. It's also not unlikely that both Belgium and Spain would veto Scottish entrance to the European Union, given their own troubles with secessionist movements. The Kingdom may yet survive . It's too early to call.

It's too early to call.Spain? Maybe. But Belgium? Nah, I really don't see that happening.Also, is Brexit actually confirmed yet? Parliament and governmental confirmation?

So this might not be a bad time to buy some things from Amazon UK now that the pound is so weak...

These "experts" are all paid off.The pound will stabilize, and the U.K. Will be fine. Better off even. If Hillary wins I'm not going to pout like a 6 year old girl. Remain side needs to man the fuck up.Amazing how you're not only missing the point (again) but are also resorting to saying increasingly stupid things.

In related news.Basically all the Irish here and Northern Irish (and Britons with some Irish heritage in them somewhere) making use of the ease of movement it will provide.Who knows, with the Remain camp large in NI there could even be mumblings of re-unification. At least we have a sense of humour about it, I guess
what are the chances we rejoin in 10-20 years given how the younger people wanted to remain?
