Today Britain votes on remaining part of the EU

[Jaskalas]

obviously the stock market is taking the plunge. people smarter than us know that leaving is a mistake which will make the UK weaker.

waiting now to hear from all the pro-exit to tell me how me & every economist and speculator in the world are wrong.

Economists are sheep. Yes, it'd be great money for the people of the world to bow down and serve their corporate masters. The people of the UK chose freedom over profits.

 

[Painman]

Notice how every one of those fuckers is white and over 40?

Notice how these are Brits, and you're a Minnesotan?

Oh, you are right. Notice how the prime demographic for Trump is white people over the age of 40?

That is not what they chose here.

Yes, well, the UK is a pretty fucking white country.

Pesky fucking white people, Amirite?

 

[Jaskalas]

From what I have read in the last few days, a lot of the hate hasnt even been about middle eastern refugees but other EU immigrants.

White, Christian, culturally advanced, good worker, and integrate well into society? Yeah well fuck you Pole, cause you aint English.

It's called overcrowding. Eventually in the college study, the rats began to eat one another. We will do the same.

Why Scotland wants to stay in EU yet England & Wales want to leave?

 

[DigDog]

Well, those were the people who effectively caused the 2008 crash and also didn't see it coming... and subsequently exposed the weaknesses in the EU.

Edit: Also, those same people were predicting a Remain vote winning up until 12 hours ago -- look at the stock charts for everything up until yesterday.

we cannot trust professional economists, yet we can trust politicians who are not economists to help our GDP - while said economists stay in the same position you denounced regardless of the vote.

makes 100% sense.

The people of the UK chose freedom over profits.

no; the people of the UK chose freedom BECAUSE of higher (alleged) profits. because they were convinced by farage that they will make more by exiting the EU.

Don't you liberals ever get sick of the racist witch hunts?

Guess that 51.9% of British must be racist/bigots/insert favorite PCtard labels here.

London FTSE down 8% premarket, US markets only 5% at the moment.

If the DOW falls 8% it could go down 1,400 points on Friday.

Current open? -700.

..sweet volatility and the opportunity it makes. Smells like money in the making.

Some Swedes are talking about it. The Peripherals are hurting still...etc.

They built a 1-legged stool and left it to tip.

Merkel and her "refugees" tipped it and now she's the one really to blame. She should have shut it down and left it be. Then you get Wolfgang Schaeuble saying uber-stupid shit about immigrants being needed to stop "European inbreeding". Talk about fucking moronic.

There is a segment of the German political sphere that just want European culture and especially German national identity to die off. She herself has long been against even recognizing Germans and Germany as a national identity hence her action in this vid that highlights her revulsion toward anything German including the German flag.

However the issue is she and this political left-wing dominated sphere of anti-European identity in Germany and the EU are dragging other nations down their suicidal and forced multiculturalism pact that is opening the flood gates of immigration and the Brits have finally had enough of that death wish.

All the concepts, ideas and principals that made Europe what it is are being torn down by these folks with great haste and zeal and what will replace it will not be pretty.

Aren't some of those over 40 Gen X?

I'd think many of the people voting for this are probably baby boomers.

Or, both economists and politicians are unreliable and not trustworthy simply because of their title.

I read the opinions "economists" and "financial experts" daily, and I've been doing so for years. The stuff they come up with... I can count on one hand how many "experts" I somewhat trust.

 

[DucatiMonster696]

Can someone actually explain to me why the markets are reacting like this? Are they just startled because they've been completely complacent about risk and overvalued, or is this a real economic issue? I mean Britain has its own currency anyways, it will probably negotiate trade deals with EU that maintain the status quo as much as possible. Why would Japanese Yen rally 5% vs the dollar over this?

You've answered your own question. As for the Yen and Japan it is a economic disaster waiting to happen all on its own.

 

[DucatiMonster696]

Probably a stupid question, but what exactly does this mean for the U.S.?

I ask that because the financial markets are shitting themselves over the actual decision now. I guess the financial markets have a little bit of influence with the U.S. economy?

The U.S. will be okay and it will be the place to store wealth in the short term until the choppy seas in this market start to calm down and the traders realize that Brittan (the 5th largest economy in the world) isn't going to sink into the bottom of the ocean.

If anything there is probably more fear about the situation of leaving the EU spreading to other 1st world European nations that are seeing death via forced multiculturalism by the Brussels bureaucrats at the head of the EU as a unpleasant situation. This is a greater fear than Brittan deciding they have had enough.

You couldnt be more ignorant.

The markets arent dropping out of sheer ignorance.

If you ask Europeans (EU members) if this is the Europe they were dreaming back in 80s and 90s I believe the vast majority will tell you no.
I strongly believe that more members will leave the next years because this EU, as it is TODAY, is not what people want.

What in particular?

 

[StinkyPinky]

Jesus, this is going to create a mess. Scotland will want to leave, Northern Ireland will start fighting about joining the rest of Ireland again (or becoming independent), Europe is severely weakened and Russia will be licking their lips. Creates a real geopolitical nightmare, let alone the economic side of things. I'm all for giving the finger to the 1% and Ze Germans but could have done it some other way.

 

[tommo123]

it's not a union. it's more like a bunch of dogs which can't stand each other stuck in cages next to each other. just barking and growling as opposed to a place where they all get along.

there's no plan, just fighting over who gets what revenue spent on them. i suppose in reality (in 1 perspective at least) there is some of that 80s optimism happening. they just never thought that they would be the rich that robin hood robs from.

You have your head in the sand, or stuck somewhere else.

You go on about markets, markets, markets... your disconnect from actual workaday people seems all-consuming.

I personally think that Cameron should resign for the stupid fucking idea of having a referendum on a topic like this in the first place, as uninformed feelings and bullshit rhetoric have absolutely no place in a decision that could shape this country for decades to come.

LOL, have some empathy for us 'Mericans.

Over the long run a fractured europe makes the US more competitive, which is why the EU was created in the first place.

 

[AtenRa]

What in particular?

There are so many problems that EU countries are unable to make it work simple because everyone only cares about their own interests.

Either we become a United States of Europe, with a single government without boarders, or everyone takes its own course. The system is not working as it is now.

Is Boris the next PM?

He was born in America to.

Ah ya, it has nothing to do with Low birthrates requiring Immigrants to offset them. It also has nothing to do with a neighbouring Nation becoming untenable for millions of people due to the destabilization of the Middle East, which ironically Britain enthusiastically supported and took part in. Nah, it's just some EU Ideologues doing nefarious shit for some unknown reason!
