UK to leave EU

[robvalue]

No more batteries?

You know, it's my fault for posting all those Lonely Island videos. What have I done?

I've thrown England on the ground.

Yes, well.

Brexit has also caused panic on the financial markets today as the pound dropped more than 10 per cent against the dollar and Britain was about to lose its AAA rating.

David Cameron resigns: Prime Minister announces he will step down after UK votes for Brexit

I announced that a page or so ago.

Good riddance to the pig-shagging wanker.

Emma reckons that the majority of the elderly population would have voted leave. I'd be interested to see some demographics.

The baby boomers fucked us over one last time before they die off. They've gone through life getting their way and screwing over the other generations. The war generation lived in poverty in their old age. Generation X had their free university education taken away, no pension and ridiculous house prices to pay for the Baby Boomer's luxuriant pensions. The Millennials have been screwed even more as they don't even have any job security. Now as a parting gift they've taken us out of the EU just before they die. They don't have to care about removal of the EU working time directive or the fact that workers will be sacked at a moment's notice, as long as the economy is stimulated to pay for their pensions.

Cameron says it's not about any particular politician, he won't resign if he loses, and he'll immediately issue article 50.

Now he goes out in style, going down in history as the double liar.

Which it won't be. I'm no expert, but the crisis will lead into prolonged recession. Maybe confined to the UK, probably on a global level.

I think Cameron feels double liar is better than "the man who issued the directive to leave Europe". I guess I can't blame him for dodging that bullet. How nice of him to leave it for the next PM. How humble.

Double liar? Do elaborate.

TBH, I wouldn't want to be left holding the bag, either.
