We're screwed.


It can't be that bad ...jeremyp!   I am sure the 52% have thought out the repercussions too. Anyway....most of your lives will be 'life as usual', I guess.

Back to bible bashing then!    ;)

Sorry, Sriram. They haven't. They have been fired up by sloganising from rabble rousers. There has been an absence of rational debate. There has been alack of debate and a surplus of angry rhetoric and quarter truths. They have been told that exit from the EU will result in Britain becoming Never-Never Land ... and have believed it.

It's just incredibly stupid, I can't think of a single advantage for anyone  - except the traders, who I understand are currently making money 'hand over fist'

But the Church of England has been characterised as the Tory Party at prayer. And Brexit is largely a right-wing Conservative project.

No, they just thought about how much they want to keep Johnny Foreigner out.

I predict there will be a recession and many people will lose their jobs.

I currently have a contract with a large foreign company. Many of its employees are worried that a Leave vote means the company will shift all of its operations to Germany.

So no, it will not be life as usual.

When we joined the EU we had lots of factories and manufacturing industries.

They have nearly all gone.

We are a different country now than that which joined the EU.


I wonder how many companies will pull out of the U.K as a result of leave?

I voted remain and had a bit of a shock when I woke up.

They used to say Britain was a nation of shopkeepers, but we have lost a lot of our industries and small businesses, instead of shopkeepers we are more a nation of office workers, somehow we have to get some of that manufacturing industry back.

We have to have something to trade...........  :o it's not healthy IMO to just trade things like services in financial services. We need something to export.

A lot more somethings to export.


Plus we are at variance with Scotland's vote. That's not good.

I hope Jeremy and others don't lose their jobs.

Saddened by the news; want to apologise that my confidence in the commonsense of the British (sorry English and Welsh) electorate was misplaced when I predicted a Remain vote 18 - 24 months ago.

Unfortunately many of our large manufacturers are foreign owned, but even our own companies like Rolls Royce need free access to the EU market. If we can't get a good deal in place many of these companies will 'down-size' their UK operations or move-out altogether.

And all the time that there is uncertainty, our economy is haemorrhaging.

I wonder how long it'll be before the only element of the present UK to be in the EU (if that body survives) is N. Ireland?

I've heard renewed calls for a 'United Ireland' - I wonder how far that one will go?

I wonder who will put their names forward to be the next PM? I reckon that the following might wish to do so.

Boris
Gove
Ian Duncan Smith
Michael Fallon
Theresa May
Philip Hammond
Sajid Javid
George Osborne

I think Javid and Osborne would be the best of a bad job!

Reasonable list, Floo. Another likely candidate is Stephen Crabb. I can't help but think that it will be won by a Brexit supporter.
