Brexit?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

It was a bit unfair, to suggest that UK betrey Prussia. It's true that UK at the point was the only ally of Prussia.

What i meant was that UK did not fulfill obligation of military suport, however they support Prussia finiancialy, but even that was drastically cut; yet there was some sort (not always documented) dipolmatic support.

But to be true: all that diplomatic, defence treaties are worth less than paper on which it was wrote; almost every time guarantee of military support were fulfilled when it was for the benefit of country-defender-part-of-treaty. But when in '39 some countires decided to do not more that declare war, as we all know it helped to start a happy and innocent six years for the Europe and world.

Anyhow, since it's ceratin that your government should start procedure of exiting from UE, it's all doesn't matter.
Populist in Europe are cheering. Russia is happy. I may also strikes back and blows up in UK face; that only Wales will stay in UK.

Enjoy your "freedom".

God save the Queen; etc.

But since here almost every Brits were for "remain", my condolences for you. You have odd countrymen.

We live in interesting times.

How can this happen? :?
Only case is the players that supported remain from N.Ireland or Wales lightly in psychology.

*Edit-But i suppose they will pass through it with the help of some beers :urff:

*Edit2-Imagine the Scotish. They vote to stay in the UK. All the others except them (N.I., Wales, England) went to Euro and now they are thrown away from EU even if they wanted to stay :roll:

what a complete and utter diaster. i hope all those of you who argued against remain for the sake of arguing are happy to see our country spiral into darkness. i'd hate to think that you might suddenly have realised how big this actually was.

Disaster is the right word.

Cameron is now definitely #WorseThanThatcher - he gambled the whole country on this referendum, and lost.

And look he's run away from the consequences of his actions, the bloke was obviously tutored beyond his intelligence level. Then what do you expect from someone who instead of pointing out a vision for the country or some social ill he wanted to put right instead said "I think I will be good at it" well he's probably going down as the most f**king useless PM ever.

So... Gothic passports? :von:

I've gotten quite a bit out of this discussion. I did not expect this outcome.

It was always going to be a close run thing, but some of the post vote interviews are quite alarming.
I am reading accounts of people who voted leave who are saying that they never thought the UK would leave. Seriously people. WTF?
There also appears to be a heck of a lot of the older voters who wanted out & so have effectively shafted the younger generation right royally.
Still pretty shell shocked here tbh. :(
Cheers.

That's pretty unfair. He held a referendum he didn't really want in order to allow the people to make a democratic vote. I'm no supporter of Cameron, but he's done that rare thing of a government following the will of the people instead of telling them what to do. And you can hardly blame him for the way they voted.

Brexit have already said their propaganda declaring that 350 million a year previously paid to europe would be spent on the NHS is flawed, ie a LIE. the markets are crashing and burning. we are highly likely to end up with BoJo as PM. Labour peers have tabled a motion of no confidence in Corbyn so they're going to be even more fractious than at the last election. i fail to see a silver lining.

as for the people who -unbelievably- voted leave but are now regretting it (plenty of these it seems): "Too Late you wankers!".

Yup, it's hard to blame people for that, over 72% frequention - that can't be taken that nothing was done.
But it's just yet another proof how easy is to manipulate people or how popular is populism (sic!).

David Cameron will go down in history as the man who out off sheer dumbness and weakness of character gave way for the destruction of the United Kingdom.
My bet is on a scottish Brexit from Britain, and I guess some others will follow.
England will end up a ruined spot on the European outskirts after all.
It is really impressing to see what damage uninformed people can do if they follow selfish looneys like Farage and BoJo. My one hope is that this will cure the naive cheering for right wingers like Gemany's AfD or Le Pen's den.

Never in life would I have thought Britains would be so stupid and vote exit. I am still recovering from the shock.

Spot what's odd: Jo Cox murdered, Farage and BoJo allive and kicking.

Don't be so sure. Since the indy referendum, support for the SNP has fallen, and the Scottish Remain vote wasn't so overwhelming as to ensure an independence vote. And the UK leaving the EU changes things for an independence campaign. The SNP has always insisted (in a promise it never had any right or power to make) that the border with England would remain open; now, there'd almost certainly have to be a border, and that's definite if an independent Scotland joined the EU. Also, joining would require Scotland to adopt the Euro - something the Scottish people are very resistant to, and the SNP doesn't want. If there is another referendum, it'd be on very different terms, but that means Sturgeon may not be as keen as she's having to make out.
