Current Affairs EU In or Out

[peteblue]

The UK has a significant net trade deficit. With the devalued stirling, imports are going to be more costly.
A lot of trade relationships have been severely damaged or destroyed, who is the UK going to export goods to.
Hundreds of billions are being wiped off the FTSE.
There are going to be big companies that have to move parts of their business to the EU.

This is going to cost loads of jobs.

Get a grip mate.....with the pound down you seem to fail to mention that our exports are now cheaper......look at both sides of the coin before panicking............

Think about what would happen if Texas seceded from the US.

Texas seceding would be similar to Merseyside ( or similar) seceding, Texas isn't already a nation like Scotland is. Also given the different setups there really isn't a direct US comparison. I also never brought up the US but everyone seems eager to bring it up in their responses.

At least we'll have a new hospital every week!

I'm not scared of offending someone who voted the low intellect option.

what gives you the right to tell everybody else it was the intellect option? Get off your high horse, arsehole.

Spot on assessment

Seems reasonable, my question was more about a Scottish/NI exit from the UK then a EU exit

They'd be fine. Scotland/NI could move right to the Euro because they would immediately join the EU. Not that much disruption.

I'm sure this is not the end.

For those of you who will lose your job over the next few weeks/months.

You can look back to this thread as to why.

Just stop it, please it bad enough without the likes of you going on, people are scared enough.

EU membership brings tremendous market access, not just for trade but for talent as well. Now the UK is going to have to renegotiate EVERYTHING, not just with Europe but with everybody. And they're going to have to do it from a position of extreme weakness, all while handling two different powerful secessionist movements.

Scotland's gonna go for it and apply for EU membership right quick. The SNP has more ammunition than they ever did before.

Sinn Fein's efforts have a few more moving parts to them, but I think we'll see a unified Ireland in the next few years.

I get why people would want to stay in the EU, my question was referring to Scotland/NI wanting to leave the UK.

Just trying to show a parallel. In fact Texas did fight for independence in its past from a different country, which is why there are some (only a few on the right at the moment, but we see how that can change) who want to secede from the USA.

I think it's hilarious that accusations of being racist and xenophobic are being thrown at anyone who voted Leave. Proper chuckling at that one.

Unfortunately that is the world we now live in. Don't get your own way, throw a hissy fit and name call.

Also said now we have to find a plan? I would have hoped he and the leave had a plan in place.

Oh, we've taken a giant leap because of a few xenophobic whoppers.

Mate. Would you rather someone lied to you or gave it to you straight.

Because I'll never lie to you.

Jobs will go because of this.

You can't ignore it though , those in the likes of traditional manufacturing and the like will almost certainly face a difficult couple of years at best . Let's face it even the leave economic experts , such as they were , said almost exactly that .

They'd be fine. Scotland/NI could move right to the Euro because they would immediately join the EU. Not that much disruption.

You'd have to expect a new Scottish referendum and possibly one on a united Ireland . I'd think the U.K. as we know it is dead .

I'm going into work to start moving service businesses to Ireland...

If I were you I'd just hold on a bit ........
