It's not the end of the world, but I think a lot of British got suckered into rah-rah nationalism.

The fact is the UK had a very, very sweet deal in the EU where they basically got all the benefits of it without many or even any of the downsides. They got to keep their own currency, they got free movement (over 1 million Brits reside elsewhere in Europe, millions more enjoy visa free travel; see those drunken British going on stag parties in Amsterdam and Prague), they got favorable trade deals, and they even were able to control their own borders, for example they admitted basically no refugees from Syria. They didn't have to pay much of anything to Greece.

They're basically the kid who gets to come over, play with all the toys, but doesn't have to stay for any of the clean up.

The only thing that will change now is they are going to basically get a worse deal from the EU, the EU cannot give them the same deal as before because it would encourage other countries to do the same. That and their economy is going to be under a large black cloud for a while because too many businesses are going to be weighed under by uncertainty.

Also now the UK basically has no say in European policy at all, they've basically (stupidly IMO) locked themselves out of that. No one's going to listen to them now, they wanted this, well ok, now you can have it. You have basically no say in Europe going forward. A country like Bulgaria can have more say going forward in the future of Europe than big, proud Britain can. 

And they're likely to lose Scotland and possibly Northern Ireland too going forward, which effectively ends the UK basically as an entity.

Well there was a vote available for changing it once, people decided to keep it.

What's fascinating about this impromptu poll is that the results are almost identical to the actual vote at about 48% stay, 52% leave.

Kind of curious as to how many of those who responded to the poll are UK citizens.

Probably be a snap general election soon, really cannot be bothered to vote again though.

These have been distributed around London areas targetting Polish immigrants, lovely (not):

Not surprising that racial tension is one of the primary reasons for the result. Things will only get worse as this continues.

Just goes to show how stupid but yet how deeply ingrained racial hatred can be ... Polish people are European and look just like white Brits, yet here they are being hated against. 

Racism is an insidious disease, it's like a cancer that doesn't go away, it just tricks you into thinking it has. 

Some people just do not have the brain power to view themselves as a human being, everything must be broken down to them in very simplistic terms (ie: I am a part of this nation/ethnic/religious group) they cannot comprehend anything bigger than that. It's basically tribal thinking that we haven't evolved out of. 

The world today is too complicated for them, they are like an outdated computer trying to run a modern OS without enough RAM and processing power. 

People say they "only" hate X/Y/Z type of people, but even if you remove that group then they'll just hate some other group. Hate is something is an unquenchable thirst, if everyone on the planet was the same race, ate the same food, worshipped the same religion, etc. etc. we'd still have wars/xenophobia over the same shit, just we'd invent new stupid lines of division, like people with freckles or brown eyes or something arbirtray are now lesser and then we'd start the cycle again. It's pathetic. 

Take your pick, Johnson, Fallon, Farage or Corbyn. I would vote Farage, but UKIP are now pretty pointless, so i guess Corbyn, the only anti-capitalist politician around. 

That's horrible. And that's in London where there are so many different types of people living together. I'd hate to be Eastern European and live in the racist and poor North of the country.
