In the short term I'm scaling back my 'sense of adventure' due to the fact I'm now going to have much less money for my trip to Japan.
In the long term, hopefully, my sense of adventure will take me away from this shithole of a country for longer than a few weeks.
17m would not riot. Anyone with a brain who voted leave will see how bad things have already become and are changing their mind on the situation and this is even daily mail readers who might as well be called the scum of the earth due to the drivel the daily mail publishes.
If there's another referendum, Remain is going to win. Politicians are not going to fuck over themselves and the country for the benefit of biggots and racists. If they do leave the EU then there's going to be 16m people rioting.
Seriously, it's not mutually exclusive. Something needs to be done. 50-50 is not enough of a gap to make a decision like that.

Oh good, because that would be madness.
Although that does sound appealing today. Huh.

It was certainly implied. The whole ''take back control of our borders'' we kept hearing is pretty much playing the tune many people who want to stop immigration wanted to hear.
Now matter which way you look at the vote, people have voted to stop immigration, to save our NHS and to save 350m a week. All three have been shot down within days which is why the whole ''will of the people'' line that people love to fall back on is total bollocks.

Funny to watch American TV and it's like "Good for the UK, the EU is disintegrating".

Plot twist, big Roy will tell the team to chuck it just so that tomorrow's papers and media will stop focusing on the EU ref train wreck.
Roy is the real hero we need. Sterling to play as captain and for 90 minutes.

So far, I've managed to stay away from alcohol these last few days, but I have a bottle of rum in my bedroom calling to me right now.
You had that option, it was 'Remain'.
European leaders will do their best to avoid any language that could be interpreted as wanting to circumvent the referendum and get them to stay. If the United Kingdom wants to stay, they'll have to prove that themselves.

Again with the blind, sheer faith. Going into this on a 'gut feeling' is insanely irresponsible. I genuinely need to know how people do not see this.
And the leave campaign. The "we can cope with anything, after all we're British" rhetoric is basically what it's been won on (and what we're being told again now that reality sets in). It's infuriating.

Pro Trump Fox likely eh, US will realign closer to France and Germany to protect its influence in Europe, that is beyond doubt. After Syrian military intervention by other allies surpassing the UKs, we will not have the same influence.
No they wouldn't - pensioners don't riot generally. Young people do though, and we know how they voted.
Whilst I still think the odds are it does happen, there's been enough talk and action over the last few days to make me think it wouldn't now. The wheels fell off the leave campaign far faster than I anticipated, and thankfully between Angela Merkel and Nicola Sturgeon there are still rational people out there who may save us from ourself.

But what's the point of being obtuse? He campaigned for Remain yes? So then he should have no problem admitting he voted Remain.

It was clear from question time last night, leave voters expect no going back, no free movement and such wont be tolerated, this is going to be horrendously bad for the UK and i hope folk are prepared for whats coming.

Actually Morning Joe lol.
"UK can be Hong Kong, people want to do business in London, Continental Europe is different".
A bit off topic, but as an outsider I keep seeing housing mentioned as a major concern in many areas in the North that feel forgotten which led to a leave vote. I've also seen it mentioned regarding London, which I assume is related to how expensive London housing is.
So my question is what is the overall housing issue in the UK? Is it that housing is too expensive even in the North? Is there not enough housing? How does that play into the decision for people to vote leave?

Fucking pathetic. They seriously look like weasels begging Scotland to stay and for Remain voters to just shut up and play nice.
My god, how on earth could anyone think willingly putting themselves into a position where they have to grovel was a good move? Groveling to Scotland, groveling to the EU for a good deal, groveling to the people getting fucked over by this to just stick with them.

It's a bit janky but its the best I can do with the time I had.

I mean, if the EU was to collapse on itself, then I guess the decision would look a lot better?
That's a pretty shit set of circumstances.
Don't troll me like that without a link

Boris is generally janky, it's perfect. Prepare to go viral

Funny, Chinese were pretty much unimpressed by the decision.
we're about as popular as a radioactive dog shit right now so I can't blame you.
1) Not enough housing
2) Housing market is expensive, people being priced out
3) People blame immigration/asylum seekers as well as foreign investment for the prices

Except the idea that the EU is collapsing is laughable.

The issue really is TPTP constituency politics. It plays into consecutive Tory government hands - which leads to disenfranchisement of the populous. This is the first real vote by the people not based on this system. No surprise it's seen as a time to rebel against the establishment.
Sadly, even though it was not an ideal solution, when given the chance to get rid of FPTP and give the people are more representative say in politics - they largely stayed at home and didn't vote. Those that did turn out said overwhelmingly to stay with the status quo.
I was watching a politician on the news this morning (can't remember who. Pro remain tory, I think). The words coming out of his mouth sounded right for London bust showed a complete lack of understanding of the national feeling or mood outside London.
Even worse this is nothing new. This Westminster - rest of England disconnect as been bubbling under the surface for years - at least around the time of the Global Economic Crises - that was '08 wasn't it?
It's sad but even after Thursday vote the political elite still aren't getting what the people have been trying to tell them. (largely austerity is not working).
