EU Referendum result - Are you pleased or disappointed?

[Daniel-X]

I'm bitterly disappointed.

[armand.kay]

Gutted. Didn't actually believe this could happen.

[Livia]

Delighted. I want to be governed by a body of people that have been voted for by the people of this country and who are accountable to the electorate, and not to some unelected body Brussels who don't have to answer to the electorate at all.

[andybigbro]

disappointed :bored:

[Black Dagger]

Furious.

[_Tom_]

Over the moon with the result :love:

[joeysteele]

Extremely disappointed and I feel quite sure it will be a decision regretted over time too.

[Suze]

Happy :)

[Tom4784]

Disappointed, it's a short sighted decision based on ignorance. Fear has won over logic.

[erinp5]

Gutted ...now lets wait and see the reality of that vote.

[Jamie89]

I remained on the fence throughout, too many positives and negatives on both sides, but in the end I was leaning more towards 'out' so I'm pleased with the result. I wouldn't have been overly fussed about staying either though.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Good news for democracy

[Glenn.]

Delighted. I want to be governed by a body of people that have been voted for by the people of this country and who are accountable to the electorate, and not to some unelected body Brussels who don't have to answer to the electorate at all.

:clap1:

[AProducer'sWetDream]

Incredibly frustrated and nervous.

[AnnieK]

Curious, I voted in but had the referendum been on Wednesday I could quite possibly have voted out. I am nervous as to the immediate future for the Country but will wait to see what happens next

[Vicky.]

Neither really. I voted to remain in, but I had no strong feelings overall about it. I just hope the optimism from the leave camp is warranted and that it was the best decision. I am not rich enough to shoulder another recession and its always those worse off hit :S

[Munchkins]

More than disappointed. I'm feeling fatalistic

[reece(:]

Disgusted.

[Jack.]

Disappointed and Worried what will happen in the coming future.

[hijaxers]

I am so happy , i went to bed last night dreading getting up to still being in and what a massive shock that we are OUT best news in 20 yrs.

[hijaxers]

Gutted. Didn't actually believe this could happen.

People Power :dance::dance::dance:

[Mystic Mock]

****ed off that my generation didn't get what we wanted when we'll still be alive for the next 30 to 40 years barring any diseases.

[Jack.]

Why are you happy, I'm sure you won't be in a years time when the cost of living etc has gone up. Leaving the EU is one of the biggest mistakes britain has ever made.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Thank you should understands me :laugh:

[ThriceShy]

I am so happy. I also feel vindicated by the clear proof that a majority of the country feel as I do. Hate to say I told you so.

[Mystic Mock]

Pensioners being the majority that voted isn't exactly the majority of the country.

[user104658]

Anyone who thinks "pleased or disappointed" are appropriate descriptors in this situation, probably doesn't understand the magnitude of what they were being asked to vote on...

[Nedusa]

So pleased I can hardly stop smiling, was convinced Project Fear would rule the day and almost certainly expected a remain majority.

So when I heard the news this morning on a bright new sunny day for Britain I feel vindicated for years of support for UKIP and the British democracy. The majority of people have finally woken up and called time on this dangerous European project.

We are a proud ancient nation, the worlds oldest democracy, the worlds 5th largest economy a senior member of the Un and NATO , as such we do not need to be ruled by a group of nameless , faceless, unelected bureaucrats.

Perhaps now we can stop endless,mindless immigration and set up proper controlled immigration as required.

A big thanks to Nigel Farage who has worked tirelessly to wrestle control of our Nation back from the European disaster that is the EU

A finally good riddance to David Cameron who has constantly ignored the will of the British people and now pays the price with his embarrassing sad resignation as PM.

Now if we can just get rid of Scotland.........!!!!

[MB.]

Anyone who thinks "pleased or disappointed" are appropriate descriptors in this situation, probably doesn't understand the magnitude of what they were being asked to vote on...

"Ashamed to be British" might have been more accurate, but sure, disappointment'll do for now

[y.winter]

Mixed reactions. It's not black or white, both campaigns had some good points and I really don't know what would I pick had I been given the choice.
Let's see how it unfolds, it could go either way.

[ThriceShy]

Pensioners being the majority that voted isn't exactly the majority of the country.

Them grapes taste sour.

It was a plain and simple "every vote counts" election and leave won it.

[smudgie]

Obviously as one of the older generation that is as thick as pig muck , racist, xenophobic, looking ahead to a short life span compared to the younger generation so my vote shouldn't count, I am cock a hoop.only one complaint, stop callng me a ruddy littleEnglander.... I am very Big on England.

[Nedusa]

This was a debate driven by lies and fear, as negative as it could be. Big money and the bulk of the establishment have done well out of this ridiculous European project.

Nobody has been able to provide a sensible analysis of the pros and cons of this choice, preferring instead to scare voters into staying with the devil you know and remaining in this flawed European mess.

Well the British people were left with deciding on the bigger principles involved in Democracy and self determination. Thank goodness people finally woke up and said they did not want to remain subsumed into this European nightmare.

[reece(:]

The leavers tune has changed after the vote extension was being blamed as a rig for a potential loss when the odds weren't their way.

[Scarlett.]

lol, as if the leave side didn't use fear in their campaign.

[Vicky.]

Apparently holiday prices are going to rise though, right before I book mine. Bloody typical :fist:

[Cherie]

I find it very sad, where I work is quite multicultural and it felt a bit like walking on egg shells today with people deliberately not talking about the vote, almost like they were embarrassed to be associated with turning their backs on their European colleagues in this way. It was all a bit awkward

[ThriceShy]

The leavers tune has changed after the vote extension was being blamed as a rig for a potential loss when the odds weren't their way.

Eh? Leave were winning right from the second result declared. As soon as newcastle went 50/50 we knew it was a leave win.

Nobody claimed any rigging, except the blatant Jo Cox stuff.

[user104658]

So pleased I can hardly stop smiling, was convinced Project Fear would rule the day and almost certainly expected a remain majority.


Project fear did win the day. I'll admit BOTH campaigns were run through fear... Remain preying on economic fears and Brexit going for the more basic "scary immigrants" angle. People are more scared of funny accents, it turns out.

[joeysteele]

The leavers tune has changed after the vote extension was being blamed as a rig for a potential loss when the odds weren't their way.

That was mentioned last night before the results even started coming in, you are right.

So does Farage resign now?

Nigel Farage has admitted that it was a "mistake" to promise that £350million a week would be spent on the NHS if the UK backed a Brexit vote.

I am delighted but realize not everyone is happy. Don't ask me how, but I found this leaked footage from Brussels which shows how the EU is reacting to the vote...

LhxSclppAhU

[Rob!]

Is the BIB serious?:shocked:

Deadly serious.

People voted this because they saw it as a way of getting rid of the migrants and immigrants and possibly as a way forward for the NHS. Neither of this things are going to happen. They had absolutly no clue what they were voting for.

[Raph]

Very disappointed.

Proof that democracy isn't always the best solution. The saddest part is that it's mainly the low income uneducated people who voted to leave, and those are the people who are going to suffer the most as a result of it.

I work in the corporate world in London and could transfer to New York anytime so I'm not so worried about myself but this is a terrible and scary outcome for the future of Britain's economy.

The vote was entirely facilitated by nationalist populism and false fear and that's very sad to me.

[Marsh.]

Delighted. I want to be governed by a body of people that have been voted for by the people of this country and who are accountable to the electorate, and not to some unelected body Brussels who don't have to answer to the electorate at all.

Good news for democracy

:clap1: :clap1: :clap1:

****ed off that my generation didn't get what we wanted when we'll still be alive for the next 30 to 40 years barring any diseases.

Something tells me the majority of that generation would think that the "EU" was a brand of alcopop.

Pensioners being the majority that voted isn't exactly the majority of the country.

And pensioners votes don't matter? Sit down David Cameron.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Some of the leavers I've seen sound so dumb. One undecided said she just had a last minute "comeon England" . One man who can barely speak English said he voted to leave to stop immigration. His wife was British so it's alright. And this woman from buzz feed who wishes she could now vote remain because her and family didn't realise that things such as Cameron leaving and what's already happening would actually be happening.

https://twitter.com/buzzfeednews/status/746344127416143872

Don't care either way but I think this is a good thing in the long run.

Also David Cameron is out so can't complain!

You basically said people of a certain age shouldn't vote because they'll be dead soon. :joker: Sit down.

I'm seeing so many people with the same views as Mock and it's kind of worrying. Why do some young people think they're the only ones that matter? It's disgraceful that they think the older generation, that has lived in this country a lot longer than them, shouldn't have the right to vote.

[Dollface]

It's not their future they're voting for though :shrug:

Nope, they're voting for my future too, and my sisters, and my friends, and her friends, and my cousins, and their friends... Who happen to agree with the older generation and voted out.

No but I am sure you can find it if you disbelieve me,on whatever news channel it was on, it was when Farage said that he thought the remain side had just edged it, then it was said that possibly the extension period for voting registration could have helped with that.

I watched news on Sky,BBC and ITV it was on one of them, find it if you will but anyway I do not tell lies to make a point.

The tune changed dramatically when it was then predicted later that 'leave' was likely to end up ahead.

Don't think I've seen a single leave voter whose said "I'm doing this for my family, it'll benefit them" 99% of them are "immigrants, immigrants, immigrants"

[Cherie]

Here for it, slay Sadiq!

It's not something that can be done, he will be lobbying for London to stay in the single market

[Marsh.]

Your point is? Just stating pretty clear and probable outcomes of this

My point doesn't matter. I'm low income and uneducated. I couldn't compete with your corporate brain. :hee:

[Raph]

Yeah to me age isn't the issue and every voice should be representative but the issue with democracy is that it can actually encourage ignorance. Like in this instance, leaving the EU was just used as a portrait by which the government fooled a lot of uneducated people into thinking the EU caused the issues in the UK when really it was the huge multinational companies that have created such a divided economy.

[Cherie]

You can catch STDs and get alcohol poisoning on British soil. :hee:

Just because you need 9 million driving lessons and can't afford a holiday :fist:

[user104658]

Not to mention the fact that MOST people are going to be butt****ed by this, whether they realise it yet or not. Those who do realise it are perfectly justified in feeling angry or despairing over it. The "sour grapes", "sore losers" rhetoric is so badly misplaced that it's not even funny. This isn't a vote for the X Factor winner. This is something that will personally impact on every single person's life in a very real way.

"Sour grapes lol lol we won we won" type statements just make me even more horrified at the state of democracy. What a joke.

In each individual person's life and choices, of course theirs and their loved ones situations are the ones that mattered. That wasn't the point.

The point was Mock using his and only his situation to suggest a whole group of people in our society shouldn't be permitted to vote based on THEIR situation/opinion.

[Dollface]

Don't think I've seen a single leave voter whose said "I'm doing this for my family, it'll benefit them" 99% of them are "immigrants, immigrants, immigrants"

I doubt it will stop immigration anyway, so if people are expecting to magically stop immigrants from coming over here, I think they'll be disappointed.

I explained on the other EU referedum thread why I support leaving the EU.

[Marsh.]

Just because you need 9 million driving lessons and can't afford a holiday :fist:

This vicious attack has been reported. :) Enjoy your Scottish beating.

[Raph]

And people forget that a large proportion of immigrants played a big role in actually improving Britains economy over the year!

[Dollface]

This is how I see it... The country was almost at rock bottom (i've just been refused surgery on the NHS, surgery that I need, despite my family paying outrageous tax for years and years and years, it's not right that the NHS funding is so piss poor!) being in the EU was not working, so maybe, it was time to try something different. If it doesn't work and this all goes tits up, at least we tried, and i'm proud that the majority of the country voted to try, despite it being such a risk.

I have only one thing to say as to those of over 65 who it appears have voted more to 'leave' than 'remain', not all of them thankfully.

When 41 years ago, they were voting for their futures, they voted yes to getting closer to Europe in the EEC, with the knowledge, that was said at the time of going in then, this was just the start of the UKs journey in Europe.

Now it is not their futures they were particularly voting on, sadly more of them than not, it appears now voted to 'leave',so to blazes with everyone else.

[user104658]

Good. For me, and many people I know it was nothing to do with stopping immigration.
I can absolutely guarantee that it was ALL about stopping immigration for significantly more than the 4% swing vote... So, the fact that it wasn't about that for every leave voter is largely irrelevant. Fear of brown faces swung the leave victory, for 100% certain, as those campaigning for it knew it would (hence hamming up the stats for months).

The EU is doing sweet FA for this country. It's time we took a risk and a chance on our own.

The things that had been promised as positives in this scenario have, since the results came through, all been withdrawn as facts. Immigration isn't going to be affected and the NHS is going to see none of this apparent extra money we'll be getting. The parties involved and the media have used the public's fears to get the, apparently unlikely ,result they wanted
Sorry but in no universe was this the lesser of two evils - if Remain had won, we would have had the option to vote again if it all went to **** after staying.

I do think though that all the worrying about the result is a bit premature. I'm not trying to shut anyone down but there's no way of knowing what the long term impact will be yet.

The things that had been promised as positives in this scenario have, since the results came through, all been withdrawn as facts. Immigration isn't going to be affected and the NHS is going to see none of this apparent extra money we'll be getting.

But we were already "in" and it had all already gone to sh*t.

It's not about "that's it", new terms could be agreed in future years if it comes to that. There's also the possibility of a second referendum. It's not all black and white. We didn't join in 5 minutes, we won't leave in 5 minutes.

If Northern Ireland and Scotland want to do that, good for them. I'd rather our countries make their own decisions no matter how small rather than bowing down to a small elite.

But do you realise what a step to the right this actually is?

This is about SO much more than the UK making their own decisions...this is a statement about how pretty much exactly half (unfortunately a few more than not) think about immigration and unity. Does that not worry you about the future?

The UK is going to be even more in the grips of a small elite for at least the next two decades, though.

I would be all for Brexit if we had the sort of politics in this country that was ACTUALLY going to make it work for most people. We don't. We have elitists who are keen to cosy up to countries like China and India, who treat people like cattle and work them to the bone for pitiful wages. Great if you're one of those at the top. If not, you now have absolutely no buffer between you and those who would (and will) happily exploit you until the day you die.

Not really. My own vote/decision had sod all to do with the likes of Trump. Or Katie Hopkins for that matter.

Remaining or leaving affects a hell of a lot more than one aspect of this country so certain people voting one way for a particular agenda/angle on both sides shouldn't really enter someone's mind when choosing their own path. But that's just me.

So how does the value of the pound disintegrating and the rest of Europe turning their back on us constitute as a good move?

[AnnieK]

My son was very worried this morning when he asked if we had left the EU and I told him we had. He thought we would have to move now. Then he looked outside and said...oh it's ok mummy, were still here. I wish I had his innocence and optimism. :laugh:

Europe weren't "with" us anyway let's be honest.

The EU is doing sweet FA for this country. It's time we took a risk and a chance on our own. It very well could go very wrong (IMO both decisions had major consequences) but it's the lesser of two evils IMO. Better than rolling over and agreeing to the terms of a bunch of nameless twats from Brussels.

This is fair enough, but I would wager around 40-50% of leave voters (maybe more..) were all about immigration. which won't stop anyway.

FFS exchange rates are not a contest. A fall in the GBP means the uks exports will be cheaper and stimulate the economy.

As for investors, they are like lemmings, they follow trends so as not to stand out of line and scare others. The markets dipped as expected but as soon as Mark Carney gave a little reassurance they started bouncing back because opportunities are always looked for on stock markets. There will be a few bumps along the road but life will go on; so please stop this chicken licken nonsense that the sky is falling in because a few hours of very volatile trading of currencies and stocks does not give you or me any clue about our future economy.

So, the over 65s who voted to leave were doing so out of spite for the younger generations and not because they genuinely believe it to be the right decision?

I didn't say all of them did I, and they only know why they voted as they did.
I was simply pointing out my view,it seems when it was about their futures and they were the ones in their 20s and 30s,they chose to vote solidly for in.

More fool them if that's what they were voting out for. If I believed for a moment that immigrants would be treated unfairly and that borders would be closed, I would not of voted out.

Corbyn has said, he believes most of the out voters were unhappy with this corrupt government. I think he's being kind or perhaps its just the circles he mixes in. A lot voted out because they didn't want that Pakistani family buying the house next door. The plotting and scheming and properganda from both sides has been sickening but the most sickening thing to me is, I have to now group myself with a mirade of immigrant intolerant arseholes because according to some on here and the other forums I use, to vote out is to be a racist.

Most people vote on a personal level though Vicky.

I voted out because I despise neo-liberalism and the more I looked into the workings of the EU, the more I realized just how NL this union is. Every single government we have had since joining the EU has been NL and with each passing government we have moved a little further from democracy.

Yes, we could out this government but so long as we remained within the EU, we were assuring nothing other than another NL replacement.

And now 18 year old uni students are whining that older people shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Pathetic.

Nah you all just think your entitled to everything. Make your own futures.

Did anyone see this story about the 91 year old war veteran whose last death bed words were to have his leave vote posted.

Literally an example of someone voting for something that'll have no impact on their lifetime. But get your dick wet because he was a veteran or whatever.

Maybe try actually reading the post? :umm2:

I didn't insult anyone voting remain - I said the power was in the hands of the young who wanted to remain - but turnout was only 25%. Meanwhile turnout with 55+ was 71+%. If you want something, you gotta get out and vote.

No impact on their lifetime but a citizen of this country, his vote/opinion matters as much as anyone else.

Let's ban the terminally ill from voting too, they won't make it.

[Headie]

Well, if we're making generalisations about an entire demography, lets just say all old people will be dead in a few years anyway so shouldn't be able to vote xoxo

but you wouldn't like that would you?

I wasn't even talking about you lmao, maybe actually try realising my post was directly after Riley's :umm2:

He has children and grandchildren who will be affected by it. He is entitled to his vote.

That attitude is disgusting. He fought in a world war for this country. Something the precious SJWs won't ever do.

Um we won so you're invalid.

[user104658]

As a ww vet, I'm sure his exit vote had absolutely nothing at all to do with anti-german bias :whistle:.

But yeah. He could have voted for the country to be devoured by mutant goldfish and it wouldn't matter to him now, unless you believe in ghosts etc.

He obviously cared enough to have a say in his grandchildren's futures.

Today has really brought out a lot of people's true colours - being insulting, condescending, and turning backs on friends over an opinion.

[Mitchell]

Gutted, absolutely gutted

[Vanessa]

I think it's a mistake to leave the EU. But i hope the UK does well on his own. I love living here and i'm thinking to apply for citizenship. :)

[Headie]

Um we won so you're invalid.

:facepalm:

And young people are supposedly too immature to vote, I can see why now :joker:

[Liberty4eva]

Now that the UK has chosen nationalism over globalism, I hope they now as a free country choose to value the individual over the false promises of collectivism. I hope you become the new Switzerland of Europe.

Yeah just thought I'd act like a remainer for 10 seconds

[Tom4784]

thats right Di
ezzy

call people who dont agree with you ignorant


thank fck your not a mod..

When did I say that? Again you're making assumptions.

If you've seen any of my posts in the past about the EU debacle on Facebook then you know that a lot of people I have on facebook are the typically racist leavers that give people like you a bad name.

It's not my fault you keep tarring yourself with the same brush in a desperate attempt to undermine me.

[user104658]

I'm sure that he had the best of misguided intentions when he ****ed them over with his last breath, yes. Not that it'll matter much.

It's a good thing that Remainers aren't acting like a massive section of the Leaver voter base would if the situation was reversed. There would have been violence considering that pretty much every extreme right group and racist thug in the UK supported Brexit.

Disclaimer: Before you choke on your rage, I'm not calling all Brexit supporters racist, just merely pointing out the fact that a sizable section of the Leaver voters are unfortunately racist. NOT ALL OF THEM but a lot of them.

I doubt they care in all honesty, they want to see us all burn so the issue of borders is probably not important to them at all.

[reece(:]

So 48.1% of the voters are invalid then? :joker::joker:

They care. Divison makes us weaker and more vulnerable.

What evidence do you have that a lot of Leave voters are racists?

[MB.]

The entire campaign, perhaps?

[MB.]

(the campaign itself more than the majority of its voters, but there was definitely a sizeable chunk. And I've experienced it)

[Vanessa]

This won't stop immigration. They will just come from outside the EU :joker:

[Tozzie]

I voted out so obviously I'm happy with the result. I do understand the remainers are disappointed and for that I do feel for them. I hope in time that they can let go of the anger and disappointment because none of us can see into the future. It's easy to speculate and it seems the people who wished to remain are almost wishing failure on the leave party. I find that really sad. Lets give it time and see what happens. The ugliness from some people who wanted to remain has been horrendous, then again I suppose I understand the bitter disappointment is still very raw. Britains economy has survived tough times in the past and it will again. It needs time.

[Saph]

when i found out the result:

By the way, this is what left wing Remain violence looks like.

Very happy and it needed to happen. Other countries are wanting to leave to so we are not alone on that score. At first there will be some panic as is plainly obvious from what we see on tv and in the papers and the web, but that will die down in time. Business will continue as before as there are always people out there in the world ready to take our lovely money :blush: but if anybody in Europe says that they don't want to sell you their product then screw them and find someone else, it's that easy.

The pound has gone down which is natural at this particular time but that will be a temporary thing and will rise again when things start to settle down. It can actually be a good thing for those in Europe who wish to buy products from the UK as if their Euro goes up then they get better value for money. Of course it is not the same the other way round as it costs us more to buy in from European countries, so what you do is either spend less or buy British or haggle for a better price.

The main thing is of course immigration and being able to control our borders and not have those twats in Brussels to bow down to as we can do as we please, which is the way it should be and will save us Billions of pounds which we can certainly put to better use :smug:

[Dollface]

To all the still bitter remainers.... We won, we're out, we're happy, so you might as well get over it because moaning and whining and showing yourselves up isn't going to get you anywhere. You lost. Suck it up ;(

It's worse that Leave are showing themselves up considering they've won, rather telling!

Well, it'd only be natural to express your worries etc. but this whole "the oldies have ruined it for the youngens!!!!" crap is just stupid.

We're celebrating our victory loov, which remain would have done too... HAD they won. but they didn't x

[Dollface]

I actually felt sorry for Remain at first and sympathized with their loss, but then I saw how nasty the majority of the sore losers were being and all the pity I felt just withered away, so, might as well enjoy winding 'em up.

[Marsh.]

Overreaction.
