    Prices are going to go up. That is a fact.

    Guess where the NHS buys some of its treatments from.

    Too scared to have own opinion, too scared to protect what's important for the country.

    Too scared to even demand an apology for being spied at.
    A country upholding the law, no matter who broke it. What a terrible thing. Germany should be ashamed to act like a proper state of law.

    Also worth noting, that this decision over night knocked 9 years worth of membership fees off the stock markets.

    Good Europe can move forward after an economic downturn what will hit both sides and the UK can continue to move backwards and isolate themselves further in an ever increasing globalized market.

    Sorry for those people that voted with more than just a bit of pride but this is needed, do wonder what will happen to places highly dependent on the EU like London's financial district, but they got two years to leave so plenty of time to find a new center for the markets to focus around.

I also know none of the money we'll get back from not spending it on the EU will likely be spent getting new trade deals or ending up plugging holes in the deficit. Assuming the economy stabilizes as that will effect the true value of that spending and what it could actually do if it does become free for the treasury to use.
    They would have to pay 18bn but they didnt because because of their special treatment. In the end they paid only 11.

    That is the absurd thing. British people were told a lot of lies. Turkey being close to join EU is also a lie.

    The Brexit campaign was full of lies and madeup facts.zu

    Stop explaining math to idiots. Try something like this instead "It's only because of EU that you don't have a job and you're a fucking loser and your life is shit. If you vote to leave, it'll be paradise"

    The UK has to pay for agricultural subsidaries etc for themselves now.
    Gotta import some of that medication from somewhere, which is expensive with a weak pound.
    Trade with the European neighbours will be harder/less advantagous now than before.
    People are getting older by avarage and therefore sicker.

    Easy sailing ahead.

    People do not care about the country, they care about their jobs.

    Stop looking at the issue from your point of view, you are a scientist and voted to remain, I work in the financial sector and voted to remain, we are not the people UKIP were aiming at, because Poles are not taking our jobs.

    Now put yourself in the shoes of a bricklayer who suddenly sees his earnings lowered due to increased competition, then see which way you vote.

    You're still making it sound as if UK had an upper hand here and it was the EU that's in the weaker position. It's not.

    Except for UK which is now reaping the "benefits" of their choice. Then again they acted like a child throwing a tantrum for over quarter of a century, so it's not all that surprising.

    Don't be judging people saying they deserve everything they get because this also applies to you my friend. You are just as bad as everyone else at making judgement's.
    The highest level of education I have is A Levels, and everything thats happened today, I predicted coming yesterday, in this very thread.

    You don't need a university education to do research, you were given a responsibility to this country, to make the correct choice, it was your duty to research both choices and make the choice you thought was best. Unfortunately, most people think that research constitutes watching a few videos on youtube and watching a few televised "debates".

    I'll judge whoever I damn well please, I voted Remain because it was the best choice for Britain, and now i'm being dragged out by fools who didn't even research what they were voting for, and are now backpedaling and making excuses for why they voted the way they did. You could even see it in the press conferance that Johnson and Gove held, it had all the of air "what the bloody hell have we done?".

    If you voted Leave, and you are now having second thoughts based on the fact that the 350 million figure has been shown to be bullshit, the leave campaign is backtracking on immigration, the economy is tanking (whether it is temporary or not, damage has been done) and the Union is breaking up, then you deserve every damn misery this country now faces, because you did this, this is all on you.

    The main issues with the EU that the UK had were:

    3. Cost of membership - any payment will have to be cheaper, or the UK will not agree to a deal

    The EU will accept 3, because it is not worth them not accepting it.
    On 3. one possible compromise I can see is that the UK seems to superficially pay "less", but in actually about the same, since they don't get any rebate anymore. That would allow the UK to safe face while at the same time satisfy the EU.

    The united ireland was just an added feature of an already escalated situation. An excuse for the more violent members to do even worse things. What most are oblivious to is that when the IRA reacted first in 1968 it was purely rights and protecting catholics from the uvf. not until the later 70s did the other things become a factor.

    But like I said, this is not then. there will be angry loyalist but you think they will go killing over it? to what end?
    it would not give them a divided ireland. They would not be acting out to protect or better their own situation. If anything did happen it would be out of anger and that would be plain stupidity.

    Judging by your response I can only assume you live further to the south, or are young enough not to remember how it really was. So please don't go spouting bullshit about such a sensitive subject. Some of us have grown up and lost family during those times and know it better than the shit you have heard on tv.
    Do you expect any of that to matter to the topic at hand? You are derailing this purposely now. The matter at hand is that with the U.K. Leaving the EU, it gives Sinn Fein more ammo for a United ireland vote. If that vote passed, you are telling me that there will not be an uproar amongst those that do not want to be part of a country that had to get bailed out and still not recovered?

    Next time, when you start going into your mid life crisis rage (because by what you are saying you are at least 45), take a breather. Calm down and actually reply to the topic at hand.

    I can also "judge" you too but I will not because unlike you, I don't come to these forums just to take my frustration out.... Oops too late.

    EDIT: Chrcked your post history. You are from Ireland, not Northern Ireland which you stated yourself and only moved to the UK because of what the EU did to Ireland. The EU first started early 90's. So you didn't grow up in The Troubles you lying shit. Welcome to being the first on my fucking ignore list.

    Women are raped everywhere, but unless the rapist is black/Muslim/immigrant it won't appear in the papers. Who the fuck wants to read about a middle class white teenager raping anything?

    It's not like Poland is sending only the bricklayers, plumbers and other less educated people. Poland is suffering heavy brain drain right now and UK is one of the main beneficiaries of that.
