The destruction of the UK has started

[hermanhs09]

Scotland has clearly announced it wants to remain in the EU. Ireland and Gibraltar have been less vocal, but they're not far behind. There's a huge opportunity for Ireland to reunite, it will be seized. Ditto for Gibraltar in Spain.

The UK has always been a BS country anyway. It was built on treason, the prince of Wales doesn't deserve his title, and blood. Nazi Germany has killed millions of Jews, Britain has killed millions of Scottish and Irish men and women. I drink to Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage, they'll enter history books as the men who have destroyed the UK. They are heroes just like Gorbatchev who allowed the USSR, another BS country, to self-destruct.

We don't need countries. The smaller they are, the less power they have, the better for the people!

Actually i dont like the idea of no countries,we need them in my opinion.
But im a liberal,i think that country should have very low taxes which are used to pay for:army,police,public transport and health service,nothing more.

No fire crews?  No coastguard?  No schools, colleges, universities, libraries?  No waste collection?  No courts, prisons or judicial service (unless you put those under the "police" category)?  No parks and recreational areas?  Sounds like a pretty crappy country to me.

Sometimes people forget that public funding can cover many of the services they use and even rely on.

Firefighting, waste collection, universities, aren't under government's control in many countries. They're all local services, paid by local people (or private companies and students for universities), just like policing and jail some 150/200 years ago. But this isn't the subject.

Am I the only one here to notice that the british currency and british shares are down? Substantially down!

This is actually not strange,a lot of people just got totally scared after the UK leaving EU,
they may lose some trust to United Kingdom currency and shares and some stocks,but i believe it will be back to normal in some time,british are trust-worthy economy.

but i think it is too early to say any thing like that. the future will decide that either it is their destruction or construction. no one know about the future. may it in in the favour of UK so i think we should wait and see that happens.

The geniuses in the markets failed to predict Brexit and failed to price it in. Now they're panicking. The falling pound is great for any UK exporters of goods and services.

And pension funds have reported they're doing great too as they diversified outside the UK, and now all the dividends coming in from their foreign stocks are buying more pounds (the funds liabilities are all in sterling).

Seems we are living in different simulations.

The FUK's facing some terrible pressure. Pressure from Scotland and Ireland, pressure to find a new prime minister with a majority to support him (or her), pressure the markets everywhere... It's a slow process, but the next head of government will have to very, very talented to overcome so many things going wrong. Then, Britain is pretty much isolated. It has lost all its European friends. They won't help if there's trouble.

It is not a surprise that something like this is just happening,it was kind of obvious after the decision that UK made,
all of them shares will go a little bit down,but im pretty worried that people started to panic-sell and just dumping their assets.
That may start a crisis in few countries,and maybe at the whole europe.

I think my country Croatia need to leave that corrupted EU organisation.EU brings to my country nothing good.We didnt want to join to EU but corrupted politicians send us there become west influence.Now Germany dont want support Croatia in stopping Serbia to go to EU because first we want money from Serbia from war damages and more things but German president grandpa poor Merkel dont want that.

God bless CROATIA.
God destroy NATO and EU.

That's a bit violent. Especially for a east european country, what exactly do you accuse EU of?

[CroSany]

I accuse EU because they dont care for own alliance countries.For Croatia EU is dirty bank MMF corrupted organisation,Greece was bankrupt because of stupid EU ,Italy will bankrupt,they just increase fees in EU.Merkel isnt good for EU she is destroying own country she is so poor omg keek.EU dont know for justice.My country have smaller and smaller debt when we dont have govrement now.

Yeah and students are doing so well with private universities... Just look at the average USA student xD

[CroSany]

Yea Europe students have great average but American average so poor     .Americans dont know even where is Europe or how much USA have countries

Another thing which is quite surprising is the vanishing of british male politicians. Nicola Sturgeon already is the PM of Scotland, and it's getting very, very likely that the FUK's next PM will be a female, too. Don't know if this is good or bad. It's possibly meaningless.
