A Prime Minister resigned. The £ plummeted. The FTSE 100 lost significant ground. But then the £ rallied past February levels, and the FTSE closed on a weekly high: 2.4% up on last Friday, its best performance in 4 months. President Obama decided we wouldn't be at the 'back of the queue' after all and that our 'special relationship' was still strong. The French President confirmed the Le Touquet agreement would stay in place. The President of the European Commission stated Brexit negations would be 'orderly' and stressed the UK would continue to be a 'close partner' of the EU. A big bank denied reports it would shift 2,000 staff overseas. The CBI, vehemently anti-Brexit during the referendum campaign, stated British business was resilient and would adapt. Several countries outside the EU stated they wished to begin bi-lateral trade talks with the UK immediately. If this was the predicted apocalypse, well, it was a very British one. It was all over by teatime. Not a bad first day of freedom.

The future is bright -
I think its been a great day for Britain - and its only the start




I have had a drink though (thumbs)

He didn't believe in what he was actually saying hence the way he behaved

always thought he was a man of his word and convictions turns out he's like the rest :pinch:

Anyone know how he actually voted?

It's great that uneducated, ill informed Northern scum like me can swing the vote away from the Broadsheet reading educated Middle England, middle class elite.
We may be thick and unwashed, but our vote counts as well.

You pleb how very dare you think you should have a vote FFS they will be giving them to women next :whistle:

My initial shock and anger this morning has this evening been replaced by sadness and a sincere hope that we have not instigated the end of an organisation that has seen peace and prosperity spread across dozens of countries.

Prosperity! what about GREECE, 50% unemployment in Spain, France trying to change it's employment laws and riots on the streets, peace bombs in Brussels, Paris and London.

The EU to big to fast to soon and in their arrogance they didn't listen, they should of sorted the northern power house's first then added a country at a time.

Talk of Le Pen being the next French leader hmy:

If Scotland wants to go well go luck to them (thumbs)

Absolutely spot on SteveW (Old bean ).
As usual our 'betters' patronised us with that condescending we-know-what-is-best-for-you attitude of theirs.
They should have listened - Now, in a very British way, the mob has spoken.

When I was a child (sooooooo long ago) we used to have an unwritten rule that, if you crossed your fingers and shouted 'vainites'(usually during some street-game), whatever decision had just been made was, according to the shouter anyway, declared null and void.
Perhaps we could all try that? :dry:

Interesting times ahead.
