So you got the feeling this was a positive party?
Because I'd totally be down for a Brexit party.
Fireworks and drinking and laughing and crying and drinking and crying and drinking...

We've been arguing whether to dive into a pool. We're just about to jump in.
As always, majestic stuff from Led by Donkeys.
But it's not over by far, this is just the beginning...

It takes literally 2 minutes of research to discover that immigrants to this country actually contribute more financially than people born here!
Exxaaaaaaaacctttllllyyyyy. That's the conversation I get to have with my dad tomorrow, almost verbatim.
Incredibly depressing.
It was from my perspective as a german, considering how powerless we felt watching the madness unfold.
I can empathize with all britans who wanted to remain.
So the island is finally leaving the port, huh?
I'm somewhat somber as it has come to this. Godspeed to you all.

If I wrote what I really felt about those who voted us out I'd probably pick up a ban, so a simple fuck all those cunts will have to do. I will be picking up some booze on the way home from work today so I can drink myself into oblivion this evening. Fuck this country.
Yeah, i'll probs have a drink myself, but i don't think it's that kind of party. They have an England Flag hanging from one of their bedroom windows and Trampoline in their front garden. (not that these are indicators of Brexiteers, but you kinda get the gist)
What a shame it is to be stripped of all my rights as an EU citizen because a bunch of primarily boomer, primarily bigoted, people don't like hearing foreign accents and believe the hate and bile peddled by the daily mail etc.
Nothing but sympathy for the people in precarious positions because of this, or the families at risk of being torn apart. Nothing but distain for the people behind the curtain driving a wedge between people for their own personal gain.
Now we have our own independence day. Unlike almost every other country that celebrates freedom from Britain, we can celebrate freedom from rationality and pragmatism.

Maybe it ends up being a good thing when we come out of the other side of it (of the mess that is sure to come). That doesn't say much to the short term, I'm just thinking (hoping) bigger picture.
The Brexit crew deliberately look at it from the wrong end, the EU is a result of the desire to cooperate and avoid conflict, they try to make daft arguments about the EU not being responsible. Of course it isn't, it's about states not acting like we are and turning shit upside down.
An end?
Oh my sweet summer child.
You have barely begun to Brexit.
Only the easy part is ending.
What must feel horrible for UK people is the uncertainty in what's going to happen in the coming year. I don't believe for a second EU countries will give the UK any benefit in negotiations.
look at how well off our country is doing these days :/, its baffling that anyone would want to
Be like that
If this was the Lord of the Rings, we're only at Rivendell at the moment... Buckle up, it's gonna be a wild 10-15 years.
Most optimistic economic forecasts say it's like 20-25 years before we can see an upside.
Brit here...it is an incredibly depressing day overall.
I actually have a Politics degree but the entire Brexit fiasco has, more than anything, made me incredibly disengaged and apathetic, there doesn't feel like anything left worth fighting for with the direction we are heading. As a country I honestly think we have coming to us whatever bad / damage occurs, all I can do is ensure me and my family are in the best position we can be to keep our head's above the water.
The amount of Union flags I have seen hanging out of windows on the way to work hasn't exactly improved my mood.

That made me well up...... What a terrible day. Hate fucking won... small minded little men and women won. I want these people to suffer for what they have done, but, that means we all suffer too.
My wife is half Dutch and half German, and therefore my sons carry that heritage; they will always be European by birthright. As far as I'm concerned I am still European too.
I see what you mean but the real negotiations are only starting.
The EU will now flex its muscles when negotiating a FTA.

Some of them don't even feel the need to wait until tomorrow...
Whilst this is a day of great sadness, it's always good to find some small solace of amusement:
Brexit Party continues to disappoint...no booze, no fireworks and no comedians (not counting Nige)
Then surely you and your industries are trembling in the glorious Majesty of Brittania.
Sorry.
Like I said, big picture - I'm thinking after I'm dead unfortunately.
By the time the UK might see some positives(I doubt it) it will be fucked by climate change
"Instead Brexiteers will be treated to speeches from Wetherspoons boss Tim Martin, radio host Julia Hartley-Brewer, Apprentice winner Michelle Dewberry and Brexit Party MEP Ann Widdecombe."
From what i can tell, nothing much will change after 11pm this evening. We won't be an official EU member, but the EU can instill laws on us and we have naff all say on the matter.
Dear Europe,
We'll find a way to re-unite. One day...
Don't forget us. We didn't ask for this bullshit.
Until next time,
Scotland
I doubt that you can agree on a FTA within 11 months.
The CETA negotiations began in 2009 and this FTA still hasn't been ratified.
They(UK) will agree to anything we give them because boris needs to save face. There will be a FTA at the end of the year because the UK folds on everything.

Fuck me, it really is depressing like 1970s daytime television.
Well - out the other side of the void, not nearly long enough. Might get the anaesthetist to put me back under til tomorrow.

Somehow that movie seems to be a more accurate portrayal of Little Englanders by the day.
I think the senate in the US are topping it already, that is actually scary stuff.
The UK government is living in the past. People there are about to find out they're a very small fish in a really big pond.
Obviously Brexit is not a desirable outcome, but leaving a trading bloc is merely a symptom of a much wider problem which is still there to be fought for. Make this the impetus for campaigning and organising around a compassionate society, not "rejoining the EU" but fighting for a just and caring society.
Under the EU we had migrants being killed in the Med, we had the Hostile Environment official Home Office policy, we had austerity disproportionately affecting migrants, women and LGBT people. The EU didn't stop any of this, and being out of the EU doesn't stop us redoubling our efforts to fight for a fairer and more caring society.
If you think multiculturalism and immigration are ideals worth fighting for, then you need to be prepared to fight for them.
The Remain and People's Vote campaigns were failures. Defending existing institutions and structures that temper the worst of the Right isn't going to cut it anymore. The only way to build towards genuine change is to offer wholehearted beliefs and create a movement. Let's move to create a genuine change and consensus like what was done with the creation of the NHS and Welfare State in the 1940's.

I guess this had to pass since the billions of pounds in short positions weren't gonna pay themselves
Saw massive queues in town outside of Boots on the way to work, thought people were stocking up on all the pharmacy supplies.
Then realised it was the 70% flash sale.
