Brexit Referendum - Page 50 - Politics and Economics

Just talked to a buddy who works on a bank currency desk, I guess the current chatter is that BOE intervention unlikely. Not looking to artifidially increase the currency in the face of Brexit caused recession. That's what the gossipers are claiming, but they are probably talking their book.

This is the start of the end of globalism, great news for us all!

The year of political hell has just commenced.

Exactly, look the picture of the voting across the uk on the mail link above. It's obvious who has benefit from our eu membership and why everyone else, who live in towns and villages across the country, want out.

I doubt it. The smart money was properly hedged for this possibility for some time. Markets will open steeply lower but we won't see anything like the May 6th 2010 plunge.

It happened in August on way less instability though.

The ETF's were down like 20% for 10-15 minutes at the open.

This is mainly because schools and universities are filled with leftist propaganda. I'm 19 myself and I follow politics, read books etc but I in no way claim to more know than the average middle-aged person/senior mainly due to a lack of experience.
However 90% of people my age know even less, all they know is what their parents/teachers tell them, which makes most of them absolute bellends when it comes to politics.

Yes, assuming civilization does not collapse before you get there. Like, buy British Airways tickets today.

Clearly it looks like the worthless young'uns were too lazy to vote, as usual, and gifted the win to the olds. Can't get their snouts out of twitterface long enough to save their own country and go suffer the rain for 20 minutes. This... was their shabbiest hour.

I'm on board the "thanks racists" train, but I've been wondering for a while how much of this is a form of psychological transference i.e. spoiled, not super religious post ww2 olds who can't deal with their looming mortality are lashing out politically.
