The EU is on borrowed time. The end is inevitable.
I’m a British ex-pat living in MN… This decision will have major repurcussions. My 401k over here took a dump of over $45grand overnight. I am a UK citizen and still have my passport and was denied the right to vote as I have lived out of the U.K. For more than 15 years. Sad that the youth were against the exit, yet the older folks in the country decided their youths future…. selfish c***s!
i hear scotland wants to leave – so would UK still be called UK?
:8:
:8: :8:
It is good news, It could be my excuse to leave 😉
Its still not that low but much lower than it was just one day ago
There are a lot of people who have just lost a LOT! of money :S
30 year low? I don’t think it is very low, the pound
I thought maybe you’d have some good news……

It was not just you who could not. Even many permitted residents many who were even born in the UK were refused the right to vote. I know because my fiancé is one such person. It hardly seems right the two groups who will be most effective by this and most likely vote to remain were refused the right to vote. So much for democracy.
Whist I am on the subject it turns out that large numbers UK citizens who were working short term over seas but still based in the UK never got there voting packs even though they were entitled to vote. My local council is saying almost 500 voting packs mysterious vanished. Again these people are a group were most likely to vote to stay. The police are investigating and confidential they vote packs have gone missing.
It gets even stranger that when you turned up at the voting stations there were pencils not pens. As you may guess pens are the norm. The police are investigating now after reports from counters of large numbers of voting cards appeared to be altered. Did people happen to bring erasers with then selves and simply change there mind or was there something more sinister going on.
The police are also launced an investigation in to two vote stations after voters turning up only to apparently be told they had already voted. There is a report on another station that dead people apparently voted.
All this after arrest was already made over one of the high level voices for the stay campaign was sadly gunned down in the streets before the vote ever happened.
