    Ok can someone from Norway explain me this:

    Vampires are feared everywhere, but the Balkan region has been especially haunted. Garlic has been regarded as an effective prophylactic against vampires. We wanted to explore this alleged effect experimentally. Owing to the lack of vampires, we used leeches instead. In strictly standardized research surroundings, the leeches were to attach themselves to either a hand smeared with garlic or to a clean hand. The garlic-smeared hand was preferred in two out of three cases (95% confidence interval 50.4% to 80.4%). When they preferred the garlic the leeches used only 14.9 seconds to attach themselves, compared with 44.9 seconds when going to the non-garlic hand (p < 0.05). The traditional belief that garlic has prophylactic properties is probably wrong. The reverse may in fact be true. This study indicates that garlic possibly attracts vampires. Therefore to avoid a Balkan-like development in Norway, restrictions on the use of garlic should be considered.

    Will we end up financially worse off, without a doubt we will, but we've exorcised the ghost that is the EU and can move forward from there.


    'Wake up and smell the ashes' is quite appropriate for the UK now.

    I'd suggest you spread that around the rest of the EU too, but it could already be too late.

    No, we don't spend funds on such things.

    Norway has weird scientific studies:

    Well then they should have spend a little bit of time orienting themselves since the 'lies' were debunked as false long before the referendum.

    All hail ignorant voters, screwing themselves and everyone else since the dawn of the human race.

    Wow, listening to the news, all those Romanian, Portuguese etc living and working in London legally are going to have to leave or get work visas. Locals are going to do those jobs?

    Ok, so you're dragging the rest of the planet into a shithole with you and you're... somehow smug about it, too? That's an opinion I guess...

    Long Reuters article about the financial and economical consequences of the brexit. Long, but very interesting read. tl;dr London probably loses its prime EU economical status and the UK will see a pretty sizeable chunk of capital gone.

    British-Portuguese relationship is older than the EU itself and it's way more deep than "portuguese working in London". So, when the UK leaves the EU, it will be one of the first deals for the protection of the British interests in Portugal (the wine and the tourism industries).

    It's not news, actually. We discussed this at least a month prior to the referendum in this very thread, if I'm not mistaken.

    If that's the reaction that you are expecting from Britain now, to be like a cancer, then you should also expect that the rest of the world will simply cut you off and ignore afterwards.

    Honestly? Don't be dumb with those sentiments.

    Yeah, I'm not criticising you posting it, as people need to know this stuff. I'm merely pointing out that these facts have been known before. People just chose to ignore them. They literally said they don't trust experts on this.

    And they keep ignoring that these experts they're ignoring? They're the ones advising all those financial companies on what to do next...

    It's not discrimination, it's capitalism. If you are useful, you stay, if not, are you a citizen, no? GTFO.

    According to my observation, there is a heavy propaganda trying to scare Brits, as if it's they're going to bankrupt the year following the exist. Britain will do just fine.
