R ENGLAND

It's been quite surreal seeing things like people in Blackpool super pleased to be out, while the reporter comments on how the front was renovated with EU funding to the tune of, I think she said £22m.

It's amazing how many of these there are. My otherwise good friend (far from a bad person, just with a rather.... 'unique' sense of logic) is the same. He voted out, after admitting he didn't really know what to pick, and now has been saying since "well it doesn't matter, I was only 1 in a MILLION so it's not like I'm responsible". In the same conversation he's then saying how important it is to vote because every vote counts and that's what r brave grandparents fought for. I know.

The one thing I learned from all this is just how thick vast numbers of the population are.

Already, Calais wants the border deal changed post-haste.

To quote their spokeswoman, "The British must take the consequences of their choice".

Still the first day after the result, and it's already turning nasty around the edges.

Schulz said he would speak to Merkel about “how to avoid a chain reaction” of other EU states following Britain.

“The chain reaction being celebrated everywhere now by Eurosceptics won’t happen,” he said, adding that the EU was the world’s biggest single market and “Britain has just cut its ties with that market. That’ll have consequences, and I don’t believe other countries will be encouraged to follow that dangerous path.”
Basically, we are going to fuck you in your stupid British assholes.

It's one of those things.... you know how you start pulling tiles off a bathroom wall. And you're like "eh ok, it'll take a few bits of plaster with it" - and the whole fucking wall comes down
So yeah I noticed the damage, just not quite its extent

How is less than 52% "a landslide"?

And when did your grammar improve to only slightly below an Internet average?

Most landslides I've seen after tiny compared to what stays behind.

I'm more shocked that they managed to move Gibraltar to just off the coast of Wales.
That was the point in leaving. To get Europe out of the way.

So, basically everything is, as it was.
Why are things like the pound moving sharply? Sentiment, driven by people basically wittering on about things they can not possible know or predict.

It won't be until the dust settles in a number of years whether anyone can say if this was a good or bad move. Yes, years.

Take this thread for instance. Lots of people here saying what a catostrophically bad decision it would be to leave. Based on what exactly? Nothing more than conjecture at this point, whatever spin you want to put on it.

For the record, I'm not saying whether it was a right or wrong decision, because as I said above we can't possibly know yet. (and I voted remain in case you was wondering).

Hyperbole? Lots for sure in the coming weeks and months.
You are correct the true fallout doesn't come for years, but you cant say the view it would be a bad decision is "based on nothing"

If your talking in economic terms; Do supermarkets or corner shops get better deals from suppliers? Generally speaking? Isn't it fairly logical to suppose that being a vastly smaller player might lend itself to worse deals. ?

Is it certain? No. Everything has lots of factors. But its hardly nothing either.

Look at the map. Only look at Britain and Wales look how much Yellow compared to the blue. The Scots are not British are they? They are very Blue - So is northern Ireland. In Britain and Wales it's a Landslide.That's very very yellow to me, unless I colour blind.

Whats wrong with my Gramma. Remember I'm dyslexic. Gramma is Alien to me.

Where is London again? Also, whats population density?

Somehow these concepts seem to have vanished in the face of "lets cut places of the map to make some sort of point"

Oh, you mean a landslide, as opposed to a peopleslide. Quite right too. It wasn't a peopleslide at all.
