Got about an hours sleep, and now I just want to cry >:(

I felt a surge Patriotism about 9 generations removed from me, for Great Britain. My Irish and England Blood spilled over. LOL .

I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

I put off registering until the last minute, and when I finally got around to register, I couldn't. Turned out that because I hadn't been registered to vote in N.Ireland, I couldn't easily register to vote from here >:( It was way too late to do anything about it. Doesn't matter now though (emo) Leave won by quite a decent margin.

All my friends living here voted though. Obviously they voted remain. Would have been pretty dumb of them to have voted leave :laugh: Also, I think I'd have fallen out with any who voted leave :viking:


One of my friends and his fiance are talking about maybe moving back home because of the vote. They have a young daughter too. I get to play at being an auntie, and they're an awesome family. I'd be completely sick if they left :bigcry:
Hopefully they're just overreacting, and they won't have to leave.

I'm just in the foulest of moods at the moment :angrydance: I still can't quite believe the country voted to do this. Feel such utter contempt for England and Wales right now >:( Can't help feeling this was a vote for racism, intolerance, and isolationism :hitler: Really hope I'm wrong though :(

I don't think it was your Irish blood spilling over. Northern Ireland voted convincingly to stay in, and it stands to be royally fucked over by a leave vote.

I'd say it's definitely your English blood stirring. You might like England right now. I think it's only one step away from building a wall to separate it from Europe, and banning foreigners from "undesirable" countries :laugh:

Maybe not. My Aboriginal and German blood maybe not either. (Though there was another shooting in Germany - a few more and maybe).

Yes the Pound Sterling went into freefall. BUT that is short term stuff. I see the EU as pulling down the more financial nations an dragging up somewhat the less financial nations. Britain would be better pulling away. Not short term and the benefits will not be felt for at least 5 years. This WILL knock them. Its brave and tenacious. Its stalwart in the face of adversity.

Yeah, my colleagues in London spent most of the time cursing when I talked to them this morning. It's a disaster.

I don't think most of the people who voted know how bad this is.

Fuck them all, tbh. Most people, including the British, have no actual stakes in this, short term. Sure, the pound will sink like the Titanic but it will not significantly affect them in a couple of months. The market is reacting, though, and it's going to be scary.

Agreed.
I am a little worried about how the US dollar responding up right now, compared to many foreign currencies,  will affect our economy to trend downward in the mid-term run. We are barely showing signs of recovery a the local marketplaces from our "not a recession"  event.

I took a 6.5 % pay cut today. as a result of this moronic vote. It's going to be scary in so many ways that the British public have no fucking idea.

I've grown very fond of your country and I'm devastated.

I read an article that said that the number two search term on Google in Britain this morning was "what is the EU".

I saw that too. Is it really that bad?

How fucking appropriate is that?

I really hope it is a joke of some sort.

That really sucks. No way else to describe it!

It seems so immediate.
