The UK's EU Referendum - 23rd June 2016., by Dibbs 45 on Jun 24, 2016 9:08:42 GMT 1, I think it just goes to show how out of touch the government is with British people when it comes to the national mood. Media manipulation and sound bites, veiled lies and scaremongering, never help. A perceived reality is different to actual reality. The divide between the government and the people of Britain has been growing and growing. It seems they have woken up now. We need to move forward and grow now as a nation. Fuckwit farage thinks he's won the election where in actual fact he's jumped on the bandwagon of apathy some British people are feeling. It's swings and roundabouts ain't it guvnor! Put it this way...

The UK's EU Referendum - 23rd June 2016., by Reader on Jun 24, 2016 9:17:44 GMT 1, Sold the British electrorate out to UKIP in the election by promising a referendum in order to remain PM, did it for personal power, profit and gain, paid the price.
Interesting times, now kick out extreme voices, knuckle down and try and build a fairer Britain. EU take note, if you decimate working class communities, roll out neoliberal economic policy and implement austerity measures, you wont be around for much longer. I don't agree with the result, by any means, but the people have spoken and the leaders now need to listen and invest heavily in those communities ravaged by years of neglect, health, public services, education.
Sadly, we will probably see the opposite with a massive increase in zero hour contracts, a privatised health service, health and safety regulations gone, workers rights rolled back, human rights abandoned and minimum wages scrapped.
An election right now would be interesting. Although it looks like a swing to the right, I don't think the electorate give as**t, they just really want better public services and fairer working conditions. The only way to do that, in or out of the EU, is to crush corporate greed and reject neoliberal ideology.
Corbyn's lack of a clear & powerful message to the Labour electorate means he should resign too. Clear the decks.

Brussels had no intention of any further negotiation with us. |

The UK's EU Referendum - 23rd June 2016., by otomi on Jun 24, 2016 9:52:13 GMT 1, Horrible news. GB will not be able to compete with China, Asia and America. GB will have no say in the EU but will have to comply to its rules if it wants free trade. That's what happens if populist and nationalist scream the loudest. Scotland and NI will leave. After all that time GB destroyed itself and possibly the EU. Most things people complain about here were brought on to GB by British politicians not the EU. A shame.

I'm also not British just concerned for you guys but I know you are allergic to input from the outside.  As seen in the bank collapse in the US it takes very little time, once the credits don't flow anymore, for the first companies to close their doors. If all you want is food on the table you will probably do just ok with the UKIP. (it might be full of pesticides and genetically modified) Cheerio!

Hi otomi, thanks for the concern, really appreciated. We will be fine, honest!!!! My family live in Singapore, San Francisco, Chicago, London, Edinburgh, & Glasgow. I have worked in Paris, Napoli, Baden-Württemberg & Amsterdam with IBM, The Times, Sony and Sanyo so no little englander / brit. Watched Bear Stearns, FM/FM collapse etc but also watched Enron collapse, very different things. I'm not scared for the UK and "the first companies to close their doors" Food on the table should be a concern for all of us, it should be, where possible sustainably sourced and provenanced along with good animal husbandry. If anything the uk will have less chance of GM food as I understand the TTIP bill will not be applicable to the UK as we will not be part of the EU.

They are not cattle, they will not be rounded up. People have always migrated for work, that will still happen. Business, as we broadly understand it in Europe, has existed for around 3000 years. The EU has, in its most recent incarnation, been around 30-40 years. I'm sure bands will still tour, DJ's will still travel to play their records, and art prints will continue to come though the post in tubes. |

If you were in SF during the Enron disaster (which I was) you will remember that the energy prices skyrocketed, there were rolling black outs and many tech companies left California.
Again you will be fine - the "working people" are the ones that will suffer as always. They did during the bank collapse (retail/manufacturing) and they did during Enron but that is a different story and really doesn't relate to the Brexit.
GB has now no negotiating power and America will dump what ever food they want on the UK markets.

It is a new reality for Europe that we in common know and act upon since 40 years. We should stick to refer how the changes as we know it would impact our lives today. And leave history, an awful lot ofs**t were going on in the world just 100 years ago that we thankfully left and no longer is an reality.

The UK's EU Referendum - 23rd June 2016., by otomi on Jun 24, 2016 11:16:41 GMT 1, not sure that's entirely true but hey ho...your entitled to you opinion as am I or anyone else. Sorry you feel you have to resort to vitriol. Oh no I don't have to resort anywhere. I live in Sweden and I am originally from Finland, my grand parents already took the fight with Russia. I feel safe thank you.

Russia helping Assad and bombarding civilians in Syria sure helped creating a lot of refugees and thou helping the populist throughout Europe. Putin had a strong hand in the Brexit also his legions of online commentators. |

The UK's EU Referendum - 23rd June 2016., by searchandrescue on Jun 24, 2016 11:17:05 GMT 1, Hi otomi, thanks for the concern, really appreciated. We will be fine, honest!!!! My family live in Singapore, San Francisco, Chicago, London, Edinburgh, & Glasgow. I have worked in Paris, Napoli, Baden-Württemberg & Amsterdam with IBM, The Times, Sony and Sanyo so no little englander / brit. Watched Bear Stearns, FM/FM collapse etc but also watched Enron collapse, very different things. I'm not scared for the UK and "the first companies to close their doors" Food on the table should be a concern for all of us, it should be, where possible sustainably sourced and provenanced along with good animal husbandry. If anything the uk will have less chance of GM food as I understand the TTIP bill will not be applicable to the UK as we will not be part of the EU. Hope the weather is good where you are and the people that are important to you in your life are well. Kindest Regards SAR Love your optimism. I'm sure you will be fine sounds like you don't work much in Britain or for Bristish companies. ;D The bank collapse created uncertainty and that's what the Brexit does, the markets will be very turbulent and that will make the banks not give out as much money to businesses. If you were in SF during the Enron disaster (which I was) you will remember that the energy prices skyrocketed, there were rolling black outs and many tech companies left California. Again you will be fine - the "working people" are the ones that will suffer as always. They did during the bank collapse (retail/manufacturing) and they did during Enron but that is a different story and really doesn't relate to the Brexit. GB has now no negotiating power and America will dump what ever food they want on the UK markets.

GB has now no negotiating power and America will dump what ever food they want on the UK markets. Glad you love my optimism, I have worked in Britain for 25 years for many organisations big and small in the UK. By big I mean in excess of 5000 employee's by small I mean sole traders and 2-3 person enterprises and many in between. Yes the markets are turbulent, bad for the markets and those who speculate on them. Banks have not been lending to business in this country for the last 10 years so not sure what we need to be worried about on that front. Fine if you are apple etc buying back shares to pump up your position, but there is little or no lending to any small business in this country. Don't care if you believe we have no negotiating power, and if "America will dump what ever food they want on the UK" then can't wait for raining Reeces!!!! Brilliant That thought as really made me feel even better! |

As seen in the bank collapse in the US it takes very little time, once the credits don't flow anymore, for the first companies to close their doors. If all you want is food on the table you will probably do just ok with the UKIP. (it might be full of pesticides and genetically modified) Cheerio!
