Congrats UK

Yes, liberals are silly moralists who tend to claim that anyone who doesn't see the overt validity of their opinions must be ignorant.

Despite that, and although I am far from a liberal, I will say that anyone who thinks brexit isn't going to be bad has to be ignorant. Jobs are being shipped out by the second. UK economy is like 80 percent service, a lot of which is financial services. Mercantilism is a literal meme that is tearing Europe apart.

Al gore didn't lose the election XD

 

The majority of people in the uk were against the brexit. But they were too high and their belies were too stuffed with doner kababs to vote.

 

Statist scum. Have some principles. You're the reason we end up with this:

 

Pretty much the reason I voted Trump, he's the only one who stands a chance at disrupting the GOP/Dem monopoly.

 

While we're posting Benny G.....

 

F%%% The Pound dropped —— my favourite American Audio Gear just got at least 20% more expensive!! Thanks a lot !!!

 

Shouldn't UK left-wingers be happy? David Cameron is bye-bye. You're welcome Brits.

 

Trump's master plan was to drop the eu and pound so that US nationalism makes more sense. What a quality shitposter XD
Although Brexit does probably mean trump is more likely to get elected. And while I think lower euro and lower bond yields will stay, the pound could stabilize.

 

I'm not optimistic about UK, the pound and the future, but that is partly because I am a pessimist and I stand to loose out if the pound becomes worthless (or even looses ten percent).

However, the world's bankers, traders, finance people etc, are often not the brightest of people and today they are panicking. Headless chickens. When the dust settles we will see the true extent of the damage, and after some time we will see to what extent it gets repaired, and if any of the people with good reasons to vote leave turn out to have been right.

I may be a lefty liberal; I may sometimes believe that those who have other ideas are stupid --- but that does not mean that they are, in any given instance, not stupid. I am as sure as I can be without actually having been there that many many British people will have voted because of ridiculous, semi-fictional ideas about EU rules and regulations impacting their freedom, or because they think that misplaced ideas of sovereignty and nationalism make them believe that it is not a good idea to have other courts to appeal to when the British government rules that all disabled people will be impaled on stakes outside town halls. Etc. And immigration? Politicians and their friends the newspapers love playing the race card.

I'm sure there will be equally stupid reasons among the Remain voters too, it is just a little harder for me to see that one.

Now.... doesn't all this have to be ratified by the pope before UK can go ahead, anyway? And if it isn't,will they set up their own church?

Oh wait, I guess that was five hundred years ago.

There's more where he came from and I think they just replace him. This isn't a government-resigns thing.

And the labour-flavour righties are taking the excuse to try to give Corbyn the push just because they detest the idea of Labour having an actual leftie leader for once.

 

OJ, why did you post the edited version?

 

UK should listen to Trump and build a wall on the border to control immigration. Oh wait ...

 

For me it would be less alarming if it was a 30/70 vote, rather than 52/48. Because the vote has illuminated some alarming issues regarding UK.

 

@Thad E Ginathom Today is the first day in my life I wish I were still a trader. Some lucky few will make fortunes in the coming days. And many office supplies and computers will be broken in rage. Ahh, fond memories of the worst days of my life.

 

This makes sense. Globalization does nothing to help to the lower class.

 

Those with a cool head probably will yes.

Touching, but...
