I bought a box of misshaped strawberries in Tesco yesterday afternoon.
Did they have a crystal ball?  |

I'd view adopting the Euro as an easy compromise to avoid being part of the little englender project which has absolutely no benefit for us whatsoever. It appears NI have a similar process being hatched. Mid Life; Live It! Ongoing thread: http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic45697.html 110 300Tdi Utility (Hulk) 90 300Tdi SW (GF's Tank) |

It's scary right now for everyone, and there will be very turbulent times ahead. We have possibly dragged down the rest of the world in voting out. I'd be tempted to crawl back to the EU and say, we will take your euro if you let us back in...
That might be just panic talking. Could we really make this work? It's going to take a lot of long hours from us all, but we could make it work. The ramifications if we can't are massive, not just for us, but for Generations to come. I think 60 hour weeks will be a realistic effect of this on the same wage, just to keep us going... There was a really good article in the Guardian about this vote being an "up yours" from the working classes, but the problem is, all of us will now suffer in some form or other. We had it good before, not great, and the EU is as corrupt as Berlusconi's business deals, but, we had just risen to the second largest economy in the EU, and were on for gains on Germany...now where are we? We are Manchester United without Ferguson. In the pocket of the debters... Everyone always thinks tax the rich to fix it, but it doesn't work because the monies never make it to the ones who need it, and high taxes stop it filtering through the high street and prevents prosperity...we've had the lowest unemployment ever and now we will see the highest. This time, there will be no money to tax, no opportunity to help out those that need it, and everyone will suffer as a result. I'm afraid we have just lost our seat at the international stage and along with it, the Falklands, Jersey and Guernsey (possibly) but almost certainly Gibraltar... I can see the Commonwealth going too Dark times ahead - Profit warnings from some of our biggest companies, and when that happens, non-university employee's are the first to go... This time, its also the banks starting to shift out... one third of the economy could also go... Who's looking stupid now - I really hope the EU come back with a better deal that's more palatable to those who aren't in the know...I know for one, I'd take a deal if they offered it just to save my job, my country, and any more troubles in northern Ireland that I really hope don't flare up. |

^^ The country should have thought about that before voting. Now the dice have rolled.
The European banking sector in the City surely is going to review their gigantic base in London. Paris, Frankfurt, Dublin all are welcoming the banks to relocate their activities. The international banking sector has been the single biggest contributor to the UK balance of payment, more than 10 BLN £ each year. Brussels surely will force EU currency trading out of a non-EU country, and the UK have no more negociating power. You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

It wont happen. Once people realise that the BoE wouldnt support an independent Scotland, most will lose their appetite for it. |

I'd say the EU is not at all happy with this decision. I do not think that the U.K. will get an easy ride trying to negeotiate a deal with the E.U. The E.U. will try to make the results of this move as unpalatable as possible for the UK so as discourage any other member state from taking the same road. I am sure that some other current member states would like to exit and perhaps form a less bureaucratic and dictatorial led trade grouping, perhaps including the UK. If the E.U. had had any common sense it would have sat down with the U.K. over the last year and worked out any issues that the UK. had with Brussels. As they did not it just shows how far removed the bureaucrats in Brussels are from the issues that ordinary people feel are unjust. Over here we had to vote a second time on the NICE REFERENDUM because it was rejected on the first vote. Once rejected by a democratic vote Brussels got our government in to get them to call another vote. Our government caved in and said a second referendum was necessary as the people "didn't understand" what they were voting on. Who's fault was that? At least the UK didn't have a farcical situation like this.
Anyway the decision has been made and I hope that common sense prevails in the EU and they realise that good sensible relations with the UK are to everyone's benefit. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel 1992 110 200tdi csw -Zikali 2008 110 2.4 tdci csw-Zulu 2011 110 2.4 tdci csw-Masai |

I think you're rather missing the point that the country did think about that before voting. It then voted. Like it or not, the majority wanted out. It cannot be the wrong decision, because it was made by means of a wholly democratic process and there was a clear majority in favour of leaving. By definition therefore it was the decision that was wanted by the majority and therefore by definition it was the right decision. If you don't agree with it, that is your prerogative. It is now up to our politicians to implement the clear wishes of the majority in the most advantageous (or least damaging) way. It is a clear warning to the EU that the EU as it is currently is malfunctioning, and one which the architects of the EU should heed. I think that unless there are major reforns the UK will be but the first, I wonder which country will be the next to follow. |

Ericvv totally disagree. The 5th largest economic market on the globe will ALWAYS have negotiating power. Regardless of whether you agree with them leaving the EU or not.
I always knew that mainland european members would have a fit if we left the EU. Chiefly because we gave far more than we received...... EDIT: THE ONLY THING WE RECEIVED MORE THAN WE GAVE WAS IMIGRANTS |

Just to make a point clear... we haven't slipped behind the french economy, we did briefly at 06:23 but have since recovered considerably... as such we are still ahead of France.

Problem is, many people dont think about consequences - nothing that is happening, looking like happening etc is a surprise...its everything that was said to happen, yet there are many reasons why people still voted to leave, unfortunately because largely of selfishness and a lot to do with issues with UK parliament which wont change and equally a lot to do with why we shouldn't have had this vote Whats sad about Scotland is there are a hell of a lot of people in the UK who didnt want to go, many in England...a lot of young people who couldn't vote who didnt want to go and i do wonder about the 1/3 people who didnt vote. Its a sad and somewhat embarrassing day where we start our journey backwards Mike |
