Still a few votes to come, but they'll only confirm the inevitable.

Congratulations to those who voted to leave. Let's see what the future holds. Try not to gloat too much...

Hey, for our £350m saving we can afford, maybe, 2 F-35 fighters to stick on our aircraft carriers and another two the following year!

Woot, woot!

[murraymints]

[Svejk]

Weekly, hypno. Not yearly.

The Scottish people have had a vote on leaving. I'd suspect that they would have much appetite for confirming that they were serious last time, so soon. Or indeed after every decision when the general opinion in northern UK isn't identical to the UK as a whole.

But it's to be expected that certain individuals and parties or even governments will use this as an excuse to push for their personal desires. We hear it from the SNP, we note that the Eire government is claiming profound implications (which, of course, there aren't unless they deliberately create them) and we've yet to hear from Gibraltar (no doubt someone will say that the Faulklands are worried too, soon).

All that needs to occur is for all not to deliberately cause problems and agree no or minimal change to existing agreements.

... wouldn't ...

OG..NOTHING has changed in Scotland..we voted to remain in the UK ..and we have to abide by that decision...a vote to remain is NOT a vote for independence...our status remains the same we simply cannot be self sufficient ...those who are shouting are the very same who shouted for the separation ..the very same who were told by the majority to pipe down...

^ :o)

[murraymints]

similarly a vote for SNP is NOT a vote for separation !!

[murraymints]

Mikey that is to be expected in the throes !

[waterboatman]

It's now stabilised against the dollar mikey.

So far the £ at the lowest level since 1985 and Scotland set to hold a new referendum to leave the UK (which was allowed in the original Scottish referendum if there was a 'substantial change' in the UK's status) Then they will join the EU on their own and we will be a non EU country with a land border with the EU,probably 2 borders as Wales voted remain as well. Plus of course we will need to introduce border controls between Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Interesting times ahead !

[murraymints]

Eddie..nonsense....there was a border between N Ireland and Eire before..there still is to some extent..no big deal..

[Old_Geezer]

Temporary blip Mikey down as panicking risk adverse investors sell. Bargains to be had if you have foreign currency to buy pounds with. It'll return when they realise that the country is as stting a bet as it always was. Better in many ways now we're free to negotiate with the world without the drag of the EU.

[murraymints]

nonsense ..as far as Scotland is concerned...will not happen..

[Old_Geezer]

Who, in their right mind, leaves a United Kingdom in the hope to be joined to a crumbling dictatorship ? No one of course.

[mikey4444]

The legislation needed to leave will need to be voted for in the Parliament.

So, as the House of Commons are firmly against leaving the EU, it will interesting to see what will happen now.

A new General Election perhaps ?

[murraymints]

the "shouters" clearly have no clear mind OG..knee jerk braveheart response !!
