lonemagpieWell, fuck. I don't even know what to say. Lesley, of course, seems to think there will be Britain First Brownshirts on the streets immediately, but for me it's more Welcome to higher food prices, higher fuel bills - seeing as all the the utility companies were sold to the French and Germans - more austerity, more fucking the poor,... All the folks who voted Leave are soon going to wonder why their mobile roaming charges and shit are suddenly bigger....Probably energy shortages, then. None of this has to happen immediately, though - but you can bet companies will start jacking prices asap.
Of course, England and Wales voted to leave, and Scotland and NI voted remain, so I guess we'll now see an Irish Reunification drive, and another IndyRef - so what's the future of the UK? If any.
I guess all we can hope for is that a) whoever ends up as PM was more interested in moving into No. 10 than destroying the UK and the economy of both Britain, Europe, and large chunks of the rest of the world. And that b) the right people remember that the referendum was advisory only and not legally binding, and that Article 50 doesn't *have* to be invoked.
But, basically, what the fuck? I've never seen such a suicidal vote in my life. Never. Why the hell did they even *have* the referendum? What was the point for Cameron. Fucking idiot.
