The only quantum of solace I can take from this is that in ten years time, when the much vaunted better trade deals fail to materialise, when the economy is smaller than it could have been, when Scotland has left the UK, when the troubles in NI have flared up again and when people realise the EU was not to blame for low wages, poor housing and public services and are blaming some other group of minorities; on that day, I will be able to tell Dense he was wrong.

If Alanis Morrisette reads UKB, that's what irony looks like.

I'm thoroughly depressed this morning, ugh. If anyone has anything that could cheer me up, let's hear it.

Wish I could be 16 again. I'm 27 now and the future just looks like a steaming pile of shit, honestly.

Well the country has spoken. As Grubes put it on Facebook - I hope that in ten years time it's worth it.

That's not being glib - I think it's the wrong choice but it's what we have. I hope we make the best of it.

I might start looking at that Dacha by the Black Sea ;)

fuck... when I went to bed the Guardian minute-by-minute was assuring me that Remain was winning....wake up and feel the nation's been dragged into purgatory due to unmerited self-importance and misguided nostalgia for days that never were

And I'm glad we got our euros out already - the £ is crashing

I also can't help but notice there won't be any results from the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man?!
The isle of man isn't in the e.u. so can't leave it. Separate country innit?
I think it's the wrong descision for the UK, but that's democracy for you.

This...

Both my daughters (and all their mates) voted in and I worry about what this will mean for their futures. Also, I worry what it will do to their apathy levels and whether it will affect how/if they vote in future.

Properly gutted :(

my hope is that, as we approach that situation, the people of Britain realize that there is no one else to blame and so start to take a bit of responsibility for themselves - you know, stop voting for party promising the lowest taxes and think about spending money on making the place better

Unfortunately, the worse things get the stronger the far right becomes. The pound and the economy tanking will only help scumbags like Farage gain more power. It's almost as if they've done it on purpose....... Oh.

She's Romanian Dense. I was with their mother several years before Romania joined the union and it took months to arrange visas. If you were over 55 it was virtually impossible. Unless we negotiate a free movement treaty with EU, it seems likely that those days will return.

Of course, if we do negotiate such a treaty, then half the argument for leaving is negated...

You have two hopes on that one.

And one of them is Bob Hope.

Why couldn't Cameron and Osborne stick to PR and towel-folding where they couldn't do any damage? Was winning the general election worth promising (and losing) an EU referendum? How does their long-term economic plan look now?

That's the way to do it.
Lead the country into a right mess and then walk away.
Cameron a man of principle.
The vote was a smoke screen for the political shenanigans that are now going to take place.
As I said last night spivs, tricksters the lot of them.
The politicos dont care one way or the other.
The main concern is their careers.
If there is a snap election then there is no need for UKIP, job done for them, so this must be seen as a positive.
