For the moment it won't do anything. EU is one thing, Schengen (the treaty controlling travel) is another.

The country is divided, thats for sure, but, there has been alot of civil unrest brewing for decades now.
I have no problem believing that more than half of the British population is xenophobic or racist.

Scots believe this will make it harder for them to break away.

The right to travel between EU countries is not determined by their status as signatories of the Schengen treaty (which the UK mostly opted out of anyway), but by one of the four freedoms of the European Economic Area, the free movement of persons. The Schengen treaty is mostly about open borders (so no controls) on the inside and
controls on external borders

People must have forgotten the only thing left from the Empire times is the English language. Which will be used in the EU.

Not possible to do quite everything you feel for anymore.

Do these posts have any value at all, because for the life of me I have no clue what you're on about.

Has anyone seen a vote split by party?

Cameron also never expected that the Tories would win outright in the 2015 election. If there had been a coalition government again, this referendum would probably not have happened.
Cameron has changed his tune over time. First he wanted to take us out of Europe or at least was sympathetic to the cause, then he says we will only stay if his special deal got ok'd, then it didn't and he goes on to campaign passionately for remain in a manner that at times was somewhat extreme and unreasonable regardless. I wonder why.

Rightly or wrongly this referendum was about trust as much as anything else. The British people were asked if they trusted Cameron et al, if they trusted brussels; 52% said no.

All this talk by remainers of blaming everything on austerity: who brought austerity measures in? Two of the most prominent remain faces is who. Maybe the remain campaign should have found some new representatives early doors and it would have been 52% the other way. It was always going to be close and throwing around chants of racist and stupid is itself narrow-minded and stupid.

Either way we all have to get on with it now.

I think they sum up what it's all about. It's the boastfulness the British still have.

Spain will seek co-sovereignty on Gibraltar following Britain's vote to leave the European Union, acting foreign minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo said on Friday, saying the vote completely changed the outlook on the future of the peninsula.

So looks like they might lose Scotland, Northern Ireland and Gibraltar

How does that relate to the referendum? Mugged by EU immigrants who need to have a job to stay in the UK, seriously? I'd be *very* surprised if the crime rate of EU immigrants is higher than that of the native UK population.
