Brexit Vote Live Thread

[truth_seeker]

Guardian’s Anushka Asthana says....... while there will be jubilation at the decision to leave the European Union,..... She suggests there could be resignations by party leaders, a second independence referendum in Scotland and even a 'snap general election'......

Scotland may now try to go latch onto the EU teat on its own. A teat, any teat for Scotland.

Of course, they've made it clear they would.......but I gotta say that the EU  leadership is not going to make this a smooth transition for the UK because they don't want any other nations leaving. .... They'll make this as difficult as possible just to discourage others from attempting to follow suite.... So it's going to get bumpy for the UK even though in the end they'll be fine.

[WAC]

The Brits should not be forced to subsidies the rest of the EU
Let Germany do that.

That's why Germany isn't happy tonight.....nor France....

[WAC]

They're waiting to hear from Cameron .....

Here's a CNN link...

Why do you think that way? Wouldn't wise EU leaders wish to learn exactly where they went wrong, remedy it?

And to do nothing to harm Britain further? Like you wrote elsewhere, this is over culture. That means level of local control, and immigration.

The UK can see what Schengen has done. They know what their own Commonwealth migrants can do.

They are rejecting free migration, and they are rejecting Brussels say in their local affairs, of all types--economic and otherwise.

The original (admirable) mission of the EU  has grown far too big and wide and encompassing.

Incoming from the 'Netherlands'.....

Geert Wilders says....." Hurray for the British!..Now it's time for the Netherlands to have a referendum!"

 You ask.....Wouldn't wise EU leaders wish to learn exactly where they went wrong, remedy it?

No, not anymore than the Demorats here would. The EU has had more than their fair share of trying to keep the Union together even before all the refugees. It's been more than fragile from the onset....

This news heartens me and makes me so happy.

People are turning against globalism and multiculturalism.

[WAC]

Sorry my response was so short as I do have more to say but it's very late here and right now I don't want to get into a discussion on the EU....but I can say the EU 'Commission' is NOT on the same page with the populations of these nations. Who are not about their own
"Commonwealth migrants" by any means...quite the opposite....I will assume you understand the Commissions New Migration: 'Blue Card' reform"? ....Which does not have the nations interests in mind.

[WAC]

This news heartens me and makes me so happy.....People are turning against globalism and multiculturalism.

Me too!!....and absolutely they are turning away......the EU Leadership has screwed every nations peoples via their March to Globalism favoring third world countries over those they're otherwise to serve.....and not just in migration.

It's an exciting 'Independence Day"......God Bless Britain as they break away!

That's the Problem. The EU government in Brussels doesn't think they did anything wrong. They will treat England as a spoiled child that needs to be punished.  They won't see this as a failure of their leadership...more like a failure of the UK to recognize their brilliance.

Much the same way the GOPe treats the TEA Party and Conservatives. .

Here's the Head of the Uk Liberal Demorats Response.....LOLOLOL

Exactly. Who's going to subsidize Greek idleness? Looks as if the Germans and French will have to do it on their own.

Greeks aren't idle. Greeks subsidize filthy third worlders:

Exactly. Who's going to subsidize Greek idleness? Looks as if the Germans and French will have to do it on their own.

If Greece were able to set their own monetary policy and control their own currency Germany wouldn't have had to bail them out twice.

IMHO some of the ER nations that have had economic problems recently like Portugal and Greece may be the next to go.

I know a lot of older Germans wish the country would return to the D mark. If the same sentiment catches on here...the European Union as we know it now is toast.

If it isn't already.

Germany is in a world of hurt over Uk's Leave.....

Germany now has a special duty to keep the EU united, a senior member of Angela Merkel's CDU party said this morning, as he decried Brexit as"....." the biggest catastrophe in the history of European integration".

Germany"s Industrial Leaders response...
The chief economist of Deka, which manages the assets of the country's savings bank, describing the result as"...... "a political earthquake on a similar scale to the collapse of the Berlin Wall".


The head of Germany's banking association described the result as....." a black day for the UK and Europe".

Now...if Trump were smart...while he's in the UK he should hold a presser and go on the record supporting the vote. Say the voice of everyday working Britons has been heard and that unlike the current U. S.  President and the woman who wants to take his place...in a Trump Presidency Great Britain would be at the front not the back of the questions for trade deals.

Too bad that won't happen.

[WAC]

Exactly. Who's going to subsidize Greek idleness? Looks as if the Germans and French will have to do it on their own.

No matter what is done for the Greeks they will always be searching for a bailout somewhere, somehow, some way.....

But Germany is already getting their pants in a knot with France not far behind over this....their headlines show their grief, not because the UK left but because now they have the responsibility to tow the line of keeping the EU together.

I wonder what the Muslim Nations are thinking????   Bet they're going to push harder in their agenda to migrate their people to the Eu all the more now. It will be seen as a weakness of the EU to stop them.

Could we get Nigel Farage to run for President? 

[WAC]

Here's the final breakdown of the vote....

[txradioguy]

Could we get Nigel Farage to run for President? 

I'd vote for him.

[WAC]

Could we get Nigel Farage to run for President? 

Nigel's a trip and a half to watch especially when he's at the EU Commission meetings....you will for sure be entertained but he is generally right on the issues and those he calls out.

The price of gold has spiked rapidly, according to Neil Hume, who is watching the markets today. He says:


Gold soared to a two-year high and oil fell by more than 6 per cent after the UK voted to leave the EU, as investors searched for safe places to warehouses cash while dumping riskier assets.

The precious metal jumped to a high of $1,333 a troy ounce even as the US dollar — which usually moves counter to gold — posted one of its biggest increases on record.

Priced in sterling gold surged by more than 20 per cent — its fastest move on record — to above £1,000 an ounce, as the UK currency dropped to its lowest level in 30 years.

“The surging gold price clearly shows the panic sweeping financial markets,” said Adrian Ash, Head of Research at BullionVault.com, an online brokerage.

from the Bank of England:

    The Bank of England is monitoring developments closely. It has undertaken extensive contingency planning and is working closely with HM Treasury, other domestic authorities and overseas central banks. The Bank of England will take all necessary steps to meet its responsibilities for monetary and financial stability.
