Hot off the press just a few minutes ago...

President Barack Obama stands by his comment that Britain will move to the back of the queue when it comes to trade deals with the United States after Brexit, the White House said on Friday.

Then I sincerely hope for their sake that you can weather the coming storm

For a little bit of context, £250 billion was wiped off the wider stockmarket today. That's money that will have vapourised in large part from pension funds. It's also 25 years worth of EU contributions...

... but I'm so looking forward to reaping the benefits when we Take Back Control.

Ah, what I did there was combine more than one concept in a single point. Ask an adult

I am all for people making their own choices in life, who am i to judge. Unless it involves cutting peoples heads off for no reason that is.

For the domain Investors cheering Leave, If somehow Scotland exits the UK or Sinn Fein gets their Wish and causes a UK breakup. All your .co.uk domains turns into dust. New Landrush for .eng . Might sound crazy but any serious investor needs to think beyond a few months and how serious this decision is. anyway time for bed .

Actually, you really could. We all could.

The grand UK ship was sailing along just fine yesterday - there was no explicit obligation to torpedo it below the waterline.

The latest estimate:

Brexit has already wiped $2.08 trillion (yes, with a T!) off global markets.

That's $119,466 per Leave vote cast.

No wonder the rest of the world is angry right now!

 

[bonusmedia]

Those with nothing to lose don't care. As a country what we did wrong was allowing a situation to develop where far too many people had nothing to lose. We were too London centric, we became too unequal, we failed to educate people enough, we failed to offer a narrative of hope and aspiration. Now we reap the whirlwhind

 

[Edwin]

You're right. It seems plenty of Leave voters (NOT all, NOT most) just wanted to set the world on fire for the sake of watching it burn.

The irony is that they will get hit first and hardest by any downturn (as always happens).

But Alex from the Last Leg said tonight (paraphrased, I'm working from memory): "when you feel powerless you'll vote for anything that gives you a feeling of change."

On paper. In fact, not even that....on a screen. Here you go, £2,000,000,000,000.00

The ship as you say, was sailing towards oblivion, and most people seem to have realised it.

And who says the rest of the world is angry? We are a beacon for the rest of the world right now. Are you aware of what's been going on in France the last few weeks? I'm not talking football.

Are you suggesting the rise of the National Front is a good thing? Didn't you say you were centre-left?

Here are the lying liars you voted for

(I'm not suggesting that YOU voted because of their lies, but they WERE lying!)

The EU making laws for the UK was totally against democracy and freedom

Am I not correct in saying that?

That depends. Do you think the UK making laws for Birmingham is totally against democracy and freedom in Birmingham?

We were not separate to the EU - we were involved in making those laws, and in fact we got our own way more often than not. There was certainly compromise involved, but if you want co-operation there always is.

I assume the information in this article it correct, hopefully someone can inform me if not

like competition policy, agriculture, and copyright and patent law — EU rules override national laws.

Euroskeptics emphasize that the EU’s executive branch, called the European Commission, isn’t directly accountable to voters in Britain or anyone else. British leaders have some influence on the selection of the European Commission’s members every five years. But once the body has been chosen, none of its members are accountable to the British government or to Britons’ elected representatives in the European Parliament.

EU rules override national laws.. fundamentally it's just wrong isn't it?

Yes. About 97% of the time, which sounds pretty good and nothing to be particularly overwrought about.
