It was such a close margin that you have to pretty much expect very organised protest and petitions against it. It's not exactly like it was a landslide 90% "leave" vote, it was barely 50%. That's a lot of people who wanted to stay, barely a minority.

51.9% for Brexit, 48.1% for remain. While it may not have been a landslide, these remain pricks should learn to accept votes that don't go their way.

So now the UK is unchained from the EU. The US is freaking out so are other nations in the EU and other places. The dollar is stronger than the Euro now 
the pound is weak now(Again the US is freaking out but our Currency just got a whole lot more stronger). Everyone is freaking the fuck out now where do we go from here i would like to see what the UK does now since they are no longer apart of the EU now. For one they can start trading more globally instead of mostly trading locally they can finally start
trading more globally.

Because a strong dollar hurts US exports (by making our shit more expensive, lol).

My apologies Hammy and Losty, it's quite a heated issue at times. Sleep deprivation doesn't exactly help my case either. Imma get some sleep and see what's being said here tomorrow.

No need to apologize (but accepted anyway if you prefer). Sleep well

I voted leave but I'm not all that happy about these results to be honest.

I'm really not this white English nationalist some people seem to think I am (for a start I come from a Polish/Russian family I'm not even fully English), I voted for out simply because I don't like the idea of big government power and I like the idea of a small government with more control being able to make quicker more efficient decisions.

But what I didn't take into consideration is how divided the country would be, from what I can tell most of London, nearly all of Scotland and Ireland wanted to remain.  

Now I can be stubborn sometimes, some people think I'm callous, but I don't like the idea of living in a country where 49% of the people in it are pissed off and it's actually dividing up the UK.

I'm not totally pessimistic though either, I don't think there's going to be a total collapse of anything and I think I'll still have a job, but I'm not going as far as to say I'm celebrating. I think whatever happens next it's going to be tough.

Thing is, it's not even that strongly a regional divide.

There were very few places where it was landslide either way, even in London and Scotland where there was general support for "remain", there was still a strong presence of "leave" voters. Same goes for pretty much all of the places in England and Wales that voted "leave", in a lot of cases it was borderline with only 50-60% voting "leave". Birmingham "voted to leave" apparently... something like 51% percent did, 49% voted "stay".

I just think with a decision so borderline it simply has to be re-considered. If it was a clear landslide 60%+ vote I could accept that most British people wanted it, but it's literally only just half of the country who voted "leave". It's not enough for that to just be the end of it.

But like I said earlier, the main reason I'm annoyed is because I feel like the whole thing is just a distraction anyway. We're being mislead by people throwing us this nationalistic narrative to appeal to public ignorance to hide from the government's incompetence. Meanwhile the illusion of the recession is still hanging over us, which we're paying for through the nose with all these cuts while the greedy corrupt bastards who caused it are still sitting pretty (and will continue to). "immigration" is obviously a much bigger issue though *sarcasm*.
