Things may become so fucked that we need another referendum out of necessity. It was only 51% to 49% and many of the Leavers are now changing their minds.
51.9% vs 48.1%, actually.

We're gonna bounce back. Overseas markets dropped lower than ours did, we're gonna recover. Even Brexiters said this is going to be a bumpy ride.

Based on what will we recover? We still have to trade with the EU and now we're not part of it. There will be less immigrants, it's so fucked up.

I hope that is the case. Not for you, but for the others that do not share your irresponsability.

Overseas markets dropped lower than yours -because they were heavily invested in you....they -used- to have confidence in you, now they;re dumping you as a toxic asset. This should all be very familiar........

If I could afford it I'd move to Scotland immediately.
I can barely afford anything more than my rent at the moment. Living off 90 pence microwavable meals.

Quote:Mr Carney, the Treasury and a range of international economists have warned about this. Many Leave voters appear not to have believed them, or to think that they are exaggerating small, long-term effects. But there is no doubt that the Leave vote is a negative shock to the economy. This is because it changes expectations about the economy’s future performance. Even though Britain is not actually [going to] be leaving the EU for at least two years, companies and investors will start to move money out of Britain, or to scale back plans for expansion, because they are less confident about what would happen after 2018

Ironically, Portugal has been in trouble because we were deemed toxic since the subprime crisis in 2009. We have been in the shitter since, lower wages (i earn 573 euros per month), retirement age at 67.5 years etc, etc. While ironically the extreme LEFT wing has been demagogging to leave the EU, we have stood up to our faults, trying to fix ourselves, not putting blame on others.
Some others have a sense of entitlement, and while the EU isn't perfect, we are staying and fighting to mske it better while cowards quit.
