EU Referendum

[Deleted member 15344]

Oh dear - pound already dropping , markets being affected - let's hope all those financial experts are wrong

The younger people in the country voting to stay - older people ( 60 upwards ) voting to leave. The nation totally split in half. Some people will be celebrating - let's hope they wait until all those promises are delivered because they need to deliver now

Anyone got a link to download the application form Scotland needs to join the EU

Cut pension payments then .... In tough times tough measures.
Amazing how the pound had just gone through the floor killing savings and imports.

Obviously older people have a lot more sense 😁

How can that be accurate when voting was anonymous? Bit like the polls that said Remain would win, or the Tories would lose the last election.

Private exit polls I believe Hobbit

All my FB friends of a similar age, 50+, are all Remain...

Although I voted Leave, I think this result is not definitive enough to change the status quo...
1.2 million difference - we are a deeply divided Country

It's started already.
The separatists are talking about an 18 month lead in to the two year exit.
That will be probably be four years of uncertainty and falling sterling, we are doomed a tell ya doomed.

My facebook is full of people ages 50 and below - all voting remain and posting this morning the general feeling that they believe their parents/grandparents have voted on a future that the younger people will have to deal with the consequences ( which ever way they go ) - the odd older generation people i have on my Facebook are all sat celebrating

Reading through the status updates it seems its a common theme.

My kids, on the other hand..........

There's nothing to celebrate today Phil no matter what side you are on. Nobody knows what this means for Britain, we have just taken a massive gamble with our futures.

Frankly I find it staggering that a population who don't understand the implications of what they are voting for should be allowed to vote on things as massive as this. They tell me it's called democracy but lunacy seems more appropriate. I hope all those who voted out get what they wanted, if indeed the knew what that was in the first place

Tis a day for clear heads, clear thinking and not a day for knee jerk reactions. The markets will settle, people will get used to the idea and negotiations will start.

It will take at least a couple of years to sort out, nothing is going to change overnight despite Piers Morgan trying to talk us into a recession already.

Interestingly, returning to British politics, where does this vote leave UKIP ? Who are now a party without a cause.

We live in interesting times

Its bizarre. The majority of northeast England friends, irrespective of age, are celebrating.

Looking at it another way, there's more young people than old people - old age tends to lead on to death. So how come the young people lost? Why blame an age group if they are a minority in terms of numbers?

I bought a significant sum a few weeks back, and if I sold on this morning's exchange rate its a massive profit. It feels like dirty money though.

Half of the idiots on YouTube demanding "out out out" in their St George t-shirts and stoked up by a few pints of Stella.
Still, at least it's nice to know that they will be representing the country when they do venture abroad.

Wise words and some would you have believe the dark ages cometh. Of course there will be challenges, in my case dealing with our EU workforce and future recruitment requirements and demand but these are issues for another day. Personally I think we'll negotiate some kind of associated (fudged in some eyes) membership, especially now a host of others now want a referendum too

Pinch me. I've dreamt of this for decades. Proud of the country ignoring all the fear. Now if Scotland can just be on their way that'll be another huge drain on the coffers removed.:clap::thup:
