Yup. I have no doubt there will now be another call for a referendum, and Scotland will break away this time round.

I'm just relieved i bought my Drake Caterpillar when I did.

 So off we go into the great unknown. Who said the Brit's were afraid of change.. I still believe nobody has a clue what's going to happen next, Leave or Remain.

Exciting times.

Yes, I'm sure and that would be a real shame.

I'm just sad the EU were so intractable that they couldn't get off their butts and address not just our concerns but concerns which are mirrored in countries across western Europe.

This was one eye opening  programme that probably influenced many. Who is actually accountable in Europe: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wUwk7rS2ppY

I think Cameron was a real quitter and disappointment for not doing his job. Being elected PM shouldn't come with an exit option.

I sort of expected as much, but having it confirmed by the great Oracle that is Google Search makes me dispair of some of my fellow citizens. It's a bit bloody late to be asking now people.

The rest of the article is highly opinionated and not something I necessarily agree with. Although there is something to the argument that the question is far too complex for a simple "In or Out" choice made by an electorate that can't seriously be asked to make a call on such a vastly complex subject.

 However I would have hoped that voters would have asked the  question "what happens if we leave" a long time ago, not after the damned vote!

I was genuinely gutted when I saw the result this morning. Voting to throw away our influence in the biggest trading block on the planet doesn't make sense to me.

A very sad day for Britain :(

At least there is a chance we get Boris as our PM!
I remained undecided throughout the campaign and therefore could not vote. So sitting on the fence it does feel a bit scary, especially as our PM is effectively doing a runner.
However, whether we are the catalyst or not, the chances are we won't be the only ones having a referendum, Holland, Sweden,  Italy and Austria might be next, and also heard from others France and Germany (the latter I find hard to believe tbh). The strength of the pound is slowly climbing back up which at least is positive, if not temporary?

Boris Johnson is a self-serving liar and a bully. I suspect a large chunk of the party will not want him to be leader.

Wake up Tut. Don't listen to what the BBC tells you.

And don't talk about the next PM like that.
