    S&P AAA rating gone for a Burton for the first time since 1978.

    The biggest ever falls since 1972 for Sterling.

    Lowest $ exchange rate since 1985.

    Just another day in paradise.

    The only stupid person was Upper Class and Educated by gambling his way into a Second term in office by betting on the future. He did not NEED to put a referendum into the Conservative manifesto, and clearly didn't assess the risk for very long. I may as well gamble my kids future on the outcome of the 2:30 at Chester races. Given that I know !!!! all about horse racing, I'm more likely to be doing the right thing than Cameron EVER did.

    Cameron may have gone to the "best" schools and an "elite" university, but he learned nothing. Which makes me wonder if Daddy "paid" for the results.

    He will go down in History as the "Spineless Retard who destroyed Europe and Slipped away to spend his and his wife's millions in luxury whilst millions suffered (again)"

    Have you bothered to look at what the polls said when dc decided to put a referendum into the manifesto?
    I think....

    Try carefully reading my post again. It was the BBC who reported Osborne as saying:
    Mr Osborne told Radio 4's Today that leaving the EU would be an "irreversible" step that would cause "financial instability" and leave the UK "with no economic plan", demanding an immediate response from government.
    Just because it wasn't in a prepared text that he may have given to another media outlet doesn't mean he didn't use the above phrase on Radio 4.
    I realise how loathe you are to type a few simple words in your browser so here you go.

    Even the Sun newspaper is now backtracking.

    Kelvin MacKenzie (former editor, now columnist) today:
    When I put my cross against Leave I felt a surge as though for the first time in my life my vote did count. I had the power.

    Four days later I don’t feel quite the same. I have buyer’s remorse. A sense of being careful what you wish for. To be truthful, I am fearful of what lies ahead

    Bit late for Kelvin McFilth to start backtracking.

    I'm quite surprised it hasn't sunk into the rest of them what a monumental plum pudding they've made of this.

    I'll try to find some time to post something on passporting. That's another 3-5% of GDP gone along with the 3% you're going to lose as FDI dries up to £0.

    Idiots.
