    Hope you wanted the breakup of the UK when you voted Leave.
    Who is that directed at? Not me I presume. It should be clear from my post earlier this morning that I did not vote to leave.

    Seems unlikely. I think there will be a general election before the next referendum.

    It's democracy.
    If the people of Scotland and/or Ireland want to be independent why shouldn't they be?
    Both/all parties in any relationship need to want to be in it and be committed to it. One party alone can't maintain a relationship.

    So should we allow London to become the EU's newest city state, independent of the remainder of the UK? I think many Londoners are not committed to the rest of the UK.

    Scotland will now push harder for a Scottish referendum, because the first they'll do as an independent nation is join the EU!

    If they want it then of course they should have it, but I doubt either would have happened if remain won so that's why I am disappointed.

    Didn't take long for those crystal balls to be dusted down again.

    Presumably these were the same ones that predicted 'remain' and the same ones that predicted locusts on our streets shortly before the world blew up

    Not that unlikely when that's exactly what the SNP said they'd do if there was a vote to leave.

    Wow........................:j


    Amazing,did not expect to win as once again they called it wrong!

    Even London had some suprises in outer boroughs andHounslow ,what a close one in one of the most expected remains....so close 1st generation Asians pitted against younger maybe??

    London did get a much higher out vote than I thought would be possible! :D

    Woke up at 530 am to be amazed!

    Though at 1 am,when is saw what was going up Nortg in Labour heartland,I knew remain had lost or would remain by the slightest margins!


    What a beautiful day that matches the sunshine!

    Calm and reflect needed now and blame multi-nationals CEO's with their greed and the lower Labour costs and direct contracts sent out toEastern Europe first before offering to home grown!
