Think you will find its a minority of remainers that think those voting leave are racist, but many moreso of leavers who assume that the remainers think that way. That actually winds me up more, almost to the point you have to ignore leavers who just leap to this conclusion because you dare assume that some people voted leave on that single issue (which will have).
-
But going back to the main issue which people claimed to vote leave, was control - if we got the norway model where many of our industries have to comply to EU regulation, how would that make you feel?
-
Indeed, lets see how it pans out. Most economic forecasters on both sides agreed a recession would come...
-
We can be sat in a recession in that time, that would change things...the longer we have no solid future in place, the less likely we are to be seen as a safe place for foreign investment - in my simple way of looking at it.
-
Change those yellow side repeaters!

Certainly we are going to see an economic slowdown, its inevitable. What worries me the most is that Boris is saying 'no need to rush' which translates to me as 'oh bugger we won and havent got a bloody clue how we are going to actually do this'
-
There is no announcement on the JPM site apart from a hint that they will move their legal teams etc. I would imagine client facing teams remain. Ultimately I would be surprised if any company made a move now, I would expect them over the coming year or so to see how its panning out and make a call. If we move to the Norway model as Leave indicated we would have to operate under many EU directives anyway to trade (take control anyone?), but sit in the EEA which might be ok.

Dont mate, not going through all that rubbish again!

I think we all know Trump was not referring to the UK and got his countries mixed up when mentioning Scotland, and 'they'

Yes saw that, Sue Perkins with the absolute put downer 'weapons-grade plum' superb.

I would say he was more likely to be the right person in the right place at the right time. The anti-European sentiment was coming Farage or no Farage (appreciate this is debatable). I think you do him a disservice there buddy, more than that ferret sturgeon and salmond managed to do with regards there independence. Its really about how 'influential' you think he is - no doubt he has done the job, but in terms of influence I would say Salmond was a better influencer and argued his points much more thoroughly than Farage.

Also as expected no-confidence motion being pushed, could well see the end of Corbyn http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-36621777

Well I am off out to fill up with petrol, before that goes up in price!

Yes the same issues still apply by it was just a 5% swing last time, despite all that. And as we saw last night the facts do not always get in the way of public opinion. I am pretty certain you would see at least a swing back the other way of 55/45 to leave the UK if they ran it again.
-
To be quite frank, the ridiculous air punching and screaming and shouting by the Leave supporters is just as bad. I am sure if they had lost we would have seen a lot worse whinging about 'losing Britain forever' etc. and all other types of nonsense. The real victory is going to be avoiding trade deals like Norway where they have to adhere to EU regulation anyway, which is a distinct possible end point years down the line. Otherwise the whole intervening years of financial damage will have been in vain.

Yes a bit of grand prix effort from the lights by the sounds of it, do get quite a few clowns around that section. -

Good god, was that on the one way system per chance? -
Indeed, although this has pushed it into possibly the next year or so whereas Remain would have been 5-10 years down the line and who knows what happens between then and now. Its just that legally she couldn't do it unless there was a significant constitutional change which EU membership is so now she can legally do it. As above said, now it is about taking the economic hit, pulling our socks up and moving on. The shame is that it wasn't a decisive decision one way or the other, it just shows what a divided nation we are.

Standard maps like this are pretty useless for referendum results, you need to look at populous rather than physical sizes. Actually as bizarre as this map looks, this is how it panned out.

I guess the other question no one seems to be asking is that if Cameron had to go for backing In, surely all the other party leaders have to as well who supported him?

Aye a nice intake there to cool the engine...oh hang on, wait

Quick, buy something, anything - pick up a cheap Zed Will I have to pay import duty if I do buy something?! A few car buddies have been on Pistonheads classifieds all morning posting up links to TVRs and the likes. haha. I'd love a 370z myself! In answer to your question how I feel, five emotions for me this morning: 1. Sad as mentioned above at the single minded hatred from some leave supporters against immigration and that this vote for them was all about this 2. Excited about a new path for the country and a new way of interacting with the world 3. Scared at what implications this will mean (and already means) for possible recession for however long, I am sick of austerity and another long slog is not something to look forward to 4. Annoyed at people on FB putting up pictures of union jacks saying they are proud to be British after voting leave - I am also very proud to be British voting stay was never anything to do with that 5. Flabergasted that people are so short sighted to post up the union jack and talk about the UK as choosing to leave when in all likelihood the blue part of the UK will end up leaving the uk via another referendum to get back in

Farage's job was done when he promised to resign at the last election if UKIP didn't win a seat, which he did, but then came back because of his parties love for him. At least Cameron for all his failings did the right thing.
