I agree. Many of those voting remain see themselves as having been the victims of collateral damage.

My bet is that in 6 months time many of those who "won" will not feel like winners.

I can not believe out supporters and activists are blamed for not having a plan - it is job of right government officials to have plan , not them ! The same officials that sabotaged any preparation for "leave". I am gobsmacked at rudeness and aggression coming from the losing side. I am saddened to listen to bbc putting a negative spin on the result. It looks to me like a ploy by establishment to get the result they want by hook or crook.

The pound is down, the FTSE is down, jobs are moving outside the UK and the country is fractured like never before (just to start a list). What exactly do you want the BBC to say? Perhaps Glastonbury should be the headline for the next few days, or we should just concentrate on the football?! Jeez!

The pound is down

Yes, in absolute terms maybe, but in relation to the dollar and euro, its not much below what it was in April / February this year (respectively).

And things are a bit nice than they were during The Great Plague as well. Pointless argument. Unless the UK makes some positive moves forward, the markets are likely to continue to react badly. Friday wasn't an end-point. We've created quite a bit of uncertainty in what are already difficult times.

Given that all those lovely politicians have spent the last few days bickering like 5 year olds in the playground, that a whole bunch have resigned over the weekend, and there's not even a plan outline coming from the Leave camp, anyone cares to hazard a guess as to what the £ and markets might do on Monday morning :rotfl: :eek:

That's probably true. The only problem with that, is that the rest of us have to live with those consequences too :mad:

The headlines should have been something like this:

God punishes Northern Ireland and rewards Wales for their respective EU referendum voting!
Northern Ireland were punished yesterday for voting to remain in the EU! But God was not content with simply rewarding Wales with a victory, he also further punished Northern Ireland by allowing them to play better, but forced the match to be decided by a Northern Ireland own goal.

I was about to say God has been punishing England for years, but one of the UK's nations is noticeable by it's absence from the competition.

Yes I was going to add:

Nicola Sturgeon refused to comment about accusations that God had influenced their qualifying group results.

I was shown this today and think that the BBC should report it to cheer everyone up:
