Europe - In or out?

[PeeJay]

i can't believe those two have just got on with the lives as normal!!!!! It really is shocking when some people are panicking and considering what will happen to there business and lively hoods these two muppets are playing cricket and enjoying a festival!

Are you not? Nothing has changed for the vast majority of ordinary people so far and they are obviously trying to project an impression of calm and business as usual to combat the Remain hysteria

considering they were the key figures in the campaign no they shouldn't...

while the pound plummets to 31 yr low, racist attack going around the country i can't agree with you with "nothing has changed"

A lot of people feel vulnerable and unwanted thats not Remain hysteria thats happing as we speak and like most of us we've all gone to work, they didn't even turned up to parliament questions today. IF you're seen doing something that will cause more calm rather than just enjoying your weekend while millions don't have a clue where there future may lie.

Well, as for peanut pete, it will cost us a lot more now to buy tea from abroad. A stronger Euro means also that we will be a lot less competitive against European competition. Now, our business is not a corner stone of the British economy (yet ) but there are thousands like us and the consumer will either have to pay more or the businesses will shut down. Both not good options.

A close friend of mine just had her flat being about to be sold. The buyer now lowered the offer by 30k, which means she can't afford the place she wanted to buy and the whole thing fell apart. She sold for 350k. Now for her that's not a huge problem, she'll put it back on the market and other prices will fall as well. But for those who now have to pay a huge mortgage and see the value of their properties fall, they stand to loose everything and have debt on top, if they should lose their jobs or something else happens in their lives.

I hope the leave campaign was right and the vast majority of economic experts were all wrong, but this is already hurting people in Britain and around the world. Very real and ordinary people.

its not hysteria from remain its what is happening in the stock exchange and the currency markets

Europe - In or out?

As much as I am interested in politics, the economy is something I have ever been able to get my head around, but I do find that things such as markets and the pound falling seem to take a while to filter through to the public, so I wouldn't be too quick to say nothing has changed in that regard.

But much more disturbing is the apparent increase in reported hate crime (there are reports its gone up by 57% since the Referendum).

I genuinely don't believe that people who voted out were racist or did so solely because of immigration (although I do believe that is what swung the vote), but this is letting things out of the woodwork that I had hoped we largely left behind. We need strong leadership to calm everyone down, so I think it quite right that those was campaigned for leave should be making the necessary plans, as should those who campaigned remain. They should not be going out of their way to humiliate leaders or apparently not turning up at the Commons

One disturbing news item I saw earlier - this is the sort of thing I would expect in Nazi Germany, not in the country I think we are:

you think we got out of the EU to foster new relations with the ret of the world? sorry i do not buy that for one minute lets be honest a vast majority voted to get out of the EU because of immergration and most would not have been thinking about trade deals with the rest of teh world, and lets be clear no one has a fucking clue whats going on not heard from gove or boris or any one from leave, in the mean time pound is down, stocks beeing suspended and all the while there is dealy markets and investors will be keeping there money out the the uk so untill some one comes up with a plan as far as i can tell this is only heading one way
i also think Camron stepped down as he knew it is pretty fucked and did not want to be around,stupid prick shoud never have held the referendum in the first place

Come on now, it's not all that bad.

Rolls Royce, AstoZenica, GlaxoSmithKline, Diageo annd United Utilities are amongst HUGE British companies trading up. Low ? has benefits as well as negatives

[gangstarrrrr]

And there goes the credit rating.

Let's just all carry on pretending nothing's happened. That's how Boris and Co are tackling the issue.

I subscribe to the Italian commentator Paulo Barnard's thoughts:

“There’s just one small detail that no-one considers - Europe exports to the UK 10 times what the UK exports in Europe.
It will be very difficult for France, Germany, Italy and Spain to lose billions of exports by blocking the UK.”*

"There are 500 million potential European consumers that are in great trouble.

While the UK, deregulated and outside the EU, has something like 2.2bn potential customers in emerging countries.”*

5 companies out of 100?

The market is in very poor shape right now and the volatility will continue for the foreseeable future.

The FTSE 250 is down 14% over 2 days, small and mid size businesses are having their share prices destroyed as business for them is going to be significantly more difficult for them in the future.

I do wonder how many of the oldies would have voted leave had they known that their pension value would be worth 5-10% less within a couple of days of the vote.

[ValeTudoGuy]

Oh S@%t they just dropped our credit rating to the level of such third world countries as Belgium, New Zealand and France.

At least we are still above the 4th world countries such as Ireland, Italy, Spain and Japan

Off the top of my head, British American Tobacco, Gusbourne, Unilever, Severn Trent, BP..... There will be more

? has been weakening for 2 years now its down from highs of $1.70 in 2014. The world has not ended. Dont forget EU nations also need us, they wont make it too hard or they lose as well...

[peanutpete]

no one is saying the world is ending unless you can point me in that direction just need some info about the nxet step unless you guys who voyed out have a clue?

[Shaun]

Appoint new PM. Invoke article 50 and negotiate I think. Short term uncertainty for hopeful long term gain. Team brexit could do more to reassure the masses.

The problem as I see it.... ALL of our politicians on both sides have been exposed for what we secretly knew they were, spiless lily livers
