Arse fucked by old people. Goodbye EU. Goodbye Scotland.

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

And to invoke Alanis again - all those pensioners have just voted 20% off their pensions, and probably fucked their BTL investments. Time will tell....

Cameron's gone. (By October)
Lead the country into a right mess and then walk away.
I have used the word "lead" in the loosest possible way here.

I think I may now have a better understanding of the leave side - I now know what it feels like to lose my country.

This whole thing is particularly galling as I'm sure it will transpire in coming months than the Torys won the 2015 general election with dodgy campaign spending (i.e. cheated).

People have noted that classic northern Labour areas all voted "out". Is this not straight out of the Thatcher playbook? Undermine Labour areas? Thatchers did it with pit closures, Cameron has done it with austerity cuts that have disproportionately hit northern working class areas and/or Labour voting demographics - the north (I believe norther local authorities had greater per-capita cuts than down south), lower-end earners, the public sector, the disabled. Then opportunistic vultures like Farage have come in with the narrative that it's all the immigrants' fault. It's an easy narrative to sell, as we saw in 1930s Germany.

The Tory-LibDem coalition years are looking pretty fucking rosy now. Come back Cleggy.

I know what you mean Dave I think all the leave voters in the east west and south must have gone under the radar. Classic Thatcher

The economy has tanked and people are driving around Westminster sounding their horns in celebration.

The zombified, brainless cunts who have "taken their country back" are about to find out that, without the strength of unity, its a pretty shit place to be.

As much as I'm gutted at the result, markets always over react and then settle over time. The economy hasn't tanked yet, lets see how it plays out.

Also, half the country are "zombified, brainless cunts"? It's rhetoric like this that alienated people in the first place.

That would be the working classes, no?

The server has currently crashed. However once the flood has eased, this is probably worth looking at.

Very sad news. Germany will be even more powerful now.
Plus, in a few years Sheffield climbers will need a passport to go to Parisella and LPT, Doylo will never leave NW but we all know it would have happened anyway, and Crouch won't even notice the difference, walking the ten minutes from his house to the Cave. Dave McLeod will never repeat Pilgrimage because he won't get the long-stay visa, and you all will stop going around Euro crags ticking cheap grades. British climbing standards will fall, and you will cry. Hubble will be your only proudness left.

Seriously guys, I am gutted: seeing the reactions of Italian politicians, I think going out was a mistake. When Salvini, who is an idiot and an analphabet, is happy, you're in big trouble.
It's been good so far.

All the world moron racist nut job cockwombles are congratulating GREAT Britain this morning.

We are not great. The majority of the population are thick. This should never have been put to a referendum.

I'm fucking pissed.

Not sure :popcorn: is the appropriate response here Shark... NI vs England has a particularly nasty recent history.

Still - some fucker hedge funds will have coined it in...

Some may be celebrating Cameron out - but to me he's the lesser of all the Tory leadership (and thus coronated PM) candidates. We won't be getting a general election - and no other party is capable of winning it at the moment.

Anyway. I'm off to a Rubicon if anyone fancies it. Futile attempts on peak lime seems somewhat appropriate today :)

Very sad indeed.

And of course, not for financial reasons.
