I didn’t expect this. What a fine mess we have now!
Now the Prime Minister has resigned, the Stock Market has fallen, and the Pound has crashed.
Good here isn’t it?

I wonder what will happen next? Maybe other countries will say ‘we want to leave too’?
Leaving the EU isn’t that easy anyway. It will take years of negotiations with the EU about how we leave and what our relationship with the EU will be in the future. The main reason for the leave vote was because of immigration. People have had enough. This island is full.
A lot of people here believe that leaving the EU will mean we get back control of our borders and the judiciary. I doubt that.
Who knows, maybe this is for the best?

I think that some who voted thought they were signing their name when the filled in the ballot paper
Mr Cameron took a gamble even though he knows the state of education in this country.
there are rumours that unless 75% or more vote and the ratio isn't as good as 60:40 they could call another vote
political suicide that no party will have an appetite for.

I think the vote rapidly turned into a vote of dissatisfaction by people that felt hard done by for various reasons a lot of it nothing to do with the EU.

Agree, it's only the money men trying to make a fast profit.

The £ to $ ratio is better today than it was around Christmas when a mate of the lads went to the states,he got something like $1.31 to the £. Right now it's $1.38.

well you replace one set of people with another set of people, and nothing changes apart from blocking a few who have no skill or are criminals.
being an island we didn't really have that problem in the first place
Because racism tends to feed off what is obviously different, and the racist pays no attention to what is often hidden but the same, (we are all human beings that want more or les the same thing, roof, food, job) I think some will feel a little let down by the promises of the out campaign.
both sides lied
my anger today is more focused on Cameron and his idiotic gamble than the outcome

Yes I agree, having a referendum especially at this time was the big mistake.

very true and says exactly what I wanted to say, but I think I would have caused offence.
for some it was definitely based on cucumber shape, all those lettuce picking jobs in east Anglia that they never wanted in the first place but now can't get, and the polish deli that took over the shop that was Mr Green the grocers.
there I've started
I'll stop now...
there is a bloke on BBC website who voted leave and has stated on national TV that he's shocked we are out. he thought his vote didn't matter.
The Americans are having a field day with it
think that sums it up
