EU Referendum

For those that are taking in the financial markets stories....I'm sitting infront of my Bloomberg terminal and I can tell you that the FTSE has dropped back to the level it was at LAST TUESDAY. All this garbage of 1985 levels blah blah blah what an absolute load of lies.

If you have shares in banks or other financials then its been a very very bad day....
 
Stand by for a week of ridiculous headlines, claims, counter-claims and total blollocks by all with their own agendas. Or in other words, more of what we have had for the past month. This is the worst case of hysteria since I first listened to Def Leppard's song before I truly appreciated it.
 
more scare that appears not to be true

JUST IN: Morgan Stanley spokesperson tell CNBC that a report circulating that says it is moving about 2,000 jobs out of London is not true

There will be more before the weekend. People would rather go by FB than wait for factual news.

Leavers will be blamed for everything that goes wrong, let's hope the Rugby Teams all do well this weekend. :)
 
Indeed and if youre brave then there is an opportunity to make some decent cash....

The exact conversation I had with my wife this morning. For everyone panic selling there are those making their money. Good for them.

That particular one was from the bbc website. Normally a reliable source but maybe not today.

10s of thousands of city jobs have been lost since the 2008. I've no doubt that many more were going to go whatever the outcome of the vote. There are going to be weeks of this nonsense and not one bit of it will help us going forward.
 
This maybe isn't a great surprise given the geographic results breakdown but at work here I haven't yet spoken to a single person who voted for leave. There's much consternation from my FB friends as well. In fact this forum is the only contact I have with brexiters.

There's a real feeling of shock and disappointment today and a wee bit of anger too. I don't know how it's going to develop. I'm no fan of the SNP and, even now, wouldn't vote for an independent Scotland but it seems to me that it's wide open now. Lots have said they voted no in 2014 but would consider changing that if there was another vote.

I think it would be irresponsible to have such a vote before the brexit settlement and ongoing eu landscape were known but the SNP will have no such scruples. I reckon they'd get a yes vote if they organised it soon. Just terribly sad about it all.
 
Scotland aren't the only ones Fairwaydodger.....there are now rumours of France and the Netherlands holding similar referendums. In all honestly this could be the beginning of the end for the EU.
