    I'm inclined to buy post-stabilization. This seems like a bit of a silly panic to me; the likelihood of that steep of a dip representing genuine devaluation is low.

    I wouldn't call it sad. It will be interesting who the Britons and their various underlings will blame when the EU is gone.

    Or maybe the beginning for a better Europe and more united Europe. The EU was a bad seed.
    Now we can put in a new seed, and make it better.
    The EU wasn't a bad seed. The EU is exactly that what the national governments of the member states wanted it to be. It's nothing but a collection of national governments. The problem is, that nobody in Europe wants to work together but rather take what they can get and do nothing in exchange (see Poland f.e.).

    Splitting up doesn't make us more united or stronger.

    Since the pound is weakening I'm guessing nows the perfect time to buy before it starts going back up?

    So you want the UK to be as irrelevant as Iceland, then?

    UK Independence Day 06/24/16

    For such a big decision, I'm surprised that a passing vote is >50%. Would have thought that a decision like this would have required at least 60 percent to pass.

    I agree, sad day for Europe. Great day for me, booking that London trip now. :3

    The nature of the EU kinda brought this on didn't it? I mean I know Slant worships the thing as if its the second coming of Christ, but the EU has not exactly performed great.

    On MMO-C we learn that Anti-Fascism is locking arms with corporations, the State Department and agreeing with the CIA, But opposing the CIA and corporate America, and thinking Jews have a right to buy land and can expect tenants to pay rent THAT is ultra-Fash Nazism. Bellingcat is an MI6/CIA cut out. Clyburn Truther.

    I have no idea what Proposition 8 is, nor do I care. This is a thread about British politics, not whatever random shit you are concerned about.

    As much as i'm pro remain, we won't end up like Iceland, you can't state that a nation with a population of 64 million will be as irrelevant on the world stage as a nation with a population of 300,000.

    I would hold on with buying it just yet, considering how it just went into freefall once the BBC announced their prediction
