No mate. The turkeys could see the way things were going, and have voted to leave the turkey farm and live free!  ;D

Seems to be bad already for the British, they can't exchange their currency and withdraw money outside the UK. British webshops closed down because of the British Pound crash.
Scotland seems to be pushing for independence again to stay in the EU, so does Northern Ireland and even the city of London  ;D
For agencies in the UK this will mean that income in pounds has to be converted to US$ for pay out to contributors. Agencies will lose a lot of money if they don't lower the commission percentage or change their payout currency to British Pound and I'm looking at Alamy, Image Source, Robert Harding and others

UK buys a lot more than it sells...maybe they can stop buying some foreign goods and make their own...
Oil and Scotch Whisky.
But if Scotland goes... or should ask to be excluded from the exit discussions with the EU, wishing to continue as a member of the EU. It might need to adopt the Euro as its currency.

Anyway, Now the EU dream scenario can come true: England out, Scotland in ;D

I wonder who the little Englanders are going to blame for a possible recession and the loss of trade volume and jobs that will happen. They can't blame the EU anymore when they are out. So who's next? The Indians maybe? Or the Muslims? Immigrants in general?

Indeed we do buy more than we sell. And we pay for it.
So the European countries aren't going to want to sell us anything now we're going to be out of the EU?


The "Common Market" was a good idea. The monster that the EU has become isn't IMO. Too many totally different interests there.


I was reading the other day about a survey where a lot of people in other EU countries would like their own exit referendum.

You are asking that because trade goes just in one direction, and EU companies dont give a s..t about that market ?
I see that they have a pretty decent starting point in future negotiations with their GDP (nominal) per capita being high above the EU average  ;)

Also Norway or Switzerland are doing pretty well without giving their sovereignty in hands of  group of people never elected by no one, or if you prefer to call them by the name they gave them self ( European commission ). Compete print of the ex USSR model btw, and we all know how that ended  ;) 

Possible recession you say ?  Well luckily there are other possibilities with equal, if not higher chances to happen  ;)

A drop in the pound is a good thing for Britain it means that their exports to other countries will be cheaper and thus more sales for England, that is why the USA and China are always trying to devalue their currency. Every currency is rushing for the bottom and poor Japan is trying to devalue theirs but everyone keeps jumping into theirs as a safe haven thus keeping them in a permanent recession.

Englands exit will bring back jobs to them and more income not to mention national pride, rights and less bureaucracy!

The old, the stupid and the racist have just condemned the UK to a generation in the global wilderness. I'm English and I'm ashamed and embarrassed by our actions.

True, a weak pound is good for the export, but since the UK has a huge trade deficit, the weak pound means the deficit is going to be bigger, since it's going to be a lot more expensive to import.

It's been going on for a long time whenever people are unhappy about the EU or have to pay too much to the EU or the Euro makes everything more expensive.
And not only that, calls for independence in Scotland, Catalonia, Flanders to name a few has been going on for a long time as well.

Not even the best analysts of the world can predict what will happen next. Too many potential and possible scenarios. Everything everybody is writing is 100% true. Weak pound - more export. Potential recession. Import vs. Export. Yes all very valid points.
What we all know for sure is that this is global market. GB voted to opt out of EU - stock market in Asia is crashing. Americans are going nuts about it. It is one large web that connects everything.

I can't remember how they brought the Euro in.  Did "the people" vote it in initially -  or was it forced on them?

Looks like some of the people in the other countries would like a vote too.

AT least part of the vote here in the UK was to tell politicians of all sorts that we'd had enough of them ignoring what most people wanted.

Well, thank you for calling the 52% majority old, stupid and racists and that includes me.  How very narrow minded of you.  What shall I call you and the 48%?  I'll keep that to myself as I'm mature enough to not lash out.

BTW, I'm 100% English, my wife is Polish, yes I'm ageing at 44 years old but my PHD in Mathematics tells me I'm not stupid.

When you don't agree with someone just call them a racist.

Scotland: we want independence from the UK, that's worth 46 billion a year to the Scottish economy.
Scotland: we want to remain in the EU, that's worth 16 billion a year to the Scottish economy.

What a mess!

Back to the topic the short answer I think is probably not much. There's plenty of other places to debate the wider impact. Having said that the remain losers it turns out seem to be the narrow minded bigots who they claim to be so superior to. Most of the world isn't in the EU.

Just as life doesn't revolve around the US, the same goes for the UK and Europe. Life goes on regardless.

The news media have been doing there best to make this the equivalent of a major asteroid impact that will end life on Earth.  I don't buy it.  The Brits who foolishly (IMHO) voted for this may certainly end up regretting it but I can't see this pulling the whole world into a recession.  The financial world is smart enough to not rely on polls, they knew this could happen and no doubt hedged their bets.

As a Brit I'm very proud of the events that took place last night. I stayed up all night glued to the TV as all the results started to roll in. The people in the UK want change. We invented parliament and democracy in the modern age and yet the EU is the most antidemocratic system put into place. If Brussels and the EU parliament were more transparent and we could elect it's members then I think us Brits would have probably have voted to remain. The EU was initially setup for a free market but year after year they imposed new laws which didn't relate to each individual country.

Both my grandparents fought in the 2nd world wars for our freedom and democratic society. They would have been proud last night if they were both around. The EU is turning into a machine state and once again it's been up to us Brits to save the day for Europe once again. Other countries will go free soon and each country will get back it's originality and freedom.
