Angela Merkel was spotted leaving a sex shop this morning. Unconfirmed rumors says she came in an asked for their biggest strap on.

yea eu ppl might wanna try to save the eu from further exits by punishing us. dont leave or else we'll impose xyz like we did on britain!

will just incentivise greater trade links with usa instead of europe which is fine by me. just gotta hope the change from eurogoods to usagoods wont be prohibitively inefficient/expensive.

also gotta hope drumpf doesn't get elected and muck it up

All USA#1 goods come from China now. So it's a win-win-win.

No, they're part of the EU until two years after triggering Article 50 of the Lisbon treaty. The trade deal is separate.

Getting the same trade deal isn't really possible because we won't want unrestricted movement or to pay the membership fees, so we'll get worse terms, also the Bosch/EU will want to make us suffer.

So when it all goes (further) to ****, we can still blame those sneaky Johnny Foreigners for screwing us over.

didnt know that

i say we push the 2 year countdown button and then just not pick up the phone every time the germans call. they'll have no choice but to stick to the old trade deal forever

No, because two years after pressing the button you will exit the EU and have no trade deal (it ceases when you leave the union), unless we have WTO membership arranged (or something else).

In the words of George in Blackadder "Filthy hun weasels fighting their dirty, underhand war".

I would say it's a distinct possibility now. Sturgeon already working towards another referendum.

How close was the last one again? Not all that right?

52 - 48.

Blame the French for sending all the fat blokes in pubs home from the Euro's early so they were in the country to vote.

If ever you needed a day to show how social media is full of absolute knobs today was the day. My god.

Absolutely

Dont think the idea of punishment from the EU will be very prominent, but free movement, fees and EU regulation will be big issues if the goal is common market membership (and that would pretty much send the UK/England back to where it started + cause additional riots by leavers). Lesser options require less cooperation, but will then have more barriers in place.

But yeah 2 years to negotiate an exit and then a trade deal can take forever (10 years maybe), so there'll probably be something set up in the interim.

imo

Consty, any other betting guys,

Any idea on how £100m got traded on betfair for this or how the swongs happened? I dont really know what's normal election betting but it seemed absolutely insane. Was it driven by institutions or something?

From a sports perspective, it will be kind of interesting with Euro 2016 right now and Wimbledon coming up.

After the initial over-reaction, I would think the Pound and the markets will settle somewhat in the upcoming days. Bwtfdik.

Looks like just a matter of time until "Frexit", "Italeave" "Czech-out" "Finnish" "Oustria", "Departugal", etc.. congrats to the Brits for starting the trend...

Btw can london somehow petition to secede from the UK? Seems like everyone who voted leave are old, white, uneducated, or all of those

Pretty much. They were hedging their overall positions using this market. The market had been open ever since a referendum was called so it steadily built up to the £115m matched. Political markets move predominantly from polls and as there's so many different type of polls leading up to the vote, the market can swing a lot.

The huge volume on the night was down to remain being so short so obviously the layers take on very little risk (price was 1.06 on the YouGov poll just after voting closed at 10pm). The first two results at Newcastle and Sunderland sent shockwaves through the markets with the realisation that the months of polls were completely wrong. I was actively trading from 10pm and we were seeing quarter of a million stakes coming in at times. My software was lagging trying to keep up with the action!

^ Nice insight

What an utter ****ish and offensive thing to say. Shame on you.
