Britain will now no longer have any power politically or economically on the world stage. Amazing.

As a solo entity we have very little going for us. No resources, no industry, sub par educational standards.

What is there on offer other than the City which, let's face it, is far less interesting to the wider world if it isn't a European hub?

I'm still looking at Sky News and it is stocks this, currency that. Stocks go up and down all the time. There is more to life than dollars and cents. Last night I saw country fed up with the direction its leaders were taking it and decided to change the course. That ought to be the story.

I voted remain, but the majority voted leave. Thats life, the world still turns and we have to adjust to what the majority requested. However, I don't think this was an EU result, it was a "we are not happy with political institutions" vote and it will hit all the main parties hard.

They can only make that promise short term i.e. they can limit sudden or massive drops. They can do absolutely nothing to halt downwards trends over an extended time frame.

We'll see. It's not very likely. Luckily it's not just theorising and musing... we will actually see.
