    It's not all about money though is it Michael. Standing up to those pontificating control freaks in Brussels has to be a good thing. At least we'll be able to fart in our own bathrooms.

    Osborn has not said any more about his emergency budget?
    perhaps he will be carrying Cameron's suitcase for him?

    These self-serving creeps really grind my gears. Despite being extremely wealthy they want more and more and are never content. Can't these entitled spoilt brats appreciate anything?

    With the country going to the dogs anyhow being a bitch to Brussels would have meant game over bar the shouting I reckon. By leaving it might mean weathering the storm for awhile but its the best decision in the long term.

    A sad day.

    I went to bed in Great Britain and woke up in Little England.

    But the best thing we can do now is just try and make this work.

    We managed very well indeed before the EU, it was only the union's that screwed the country up 40 years ago.

    Exactly.

    'Ye of little faith'.

    I have worked for some top sales organisations in my time.

    People with negative attitudes were fired... or starved.

    Well we live in a democracy where we can vote but we must go with the majority, i was prepared to go with who ever won the vote and i would have worked hard to make the good times too,
    If its going to be that bad here , well you can always move to the Philippines or anywhere else you may fancy ,
    We all have a right to say what we want and i too have said before i dont feel this is a Great Britain, but i am still very proud to be called English

    Ok End of Day 1, in Brexit world the facts:

    1)The stock market finished the day only 1.9% down from trading began and ironically was a week high.
    2) the £ against the $ fell 7% and against the Euro 5%. To be expected.
    3) Germany Confirm that our trade agreements will remain and it would be mad to lose our special arrangement
    4) France has confirmed they plan to keep the bilateral immigration treaty in place.
    5) USA confirm we will still have a special relationship
    6) Canada agree the same, saying UK and Europe are strong trade allies.
    7) Martin Schulz an EU Chief admits the EU needs to reform
    8) Holland, Italy, France and Denmark call for a referendum.
    9) Eu citizens where ever they reside in the EU at the time of the referendum are protected under The 1969 Vienna Convention Section 70.

    So the world hasn't fallen apart, the apocalypse didn't happen and once again Britain are leading in Europe.
    Reform, Democracy and Freedom of Speech.

    Thank you Simon, interesting reading, and what concerns many of us is the peso rate compared to the pound and its around the 64-65 rate , which i think we are all pleased about

    The 'elephant-in-room ' remains the issue of the 'Common Market' and UK membership (or not) of the European Economic Area.
    Membership and access to the EU single market demands funding contribution to EU and free movement of labour.
    Seems to be more than a bit crazy of to leave the EU then negotiate terms by agreeing to apply those EU rules people voted against.

    We need some pretty slick and committed negotiators.
    But where/ who are they ?

    Having myself voted for to LEAVE - and despite my initial elation at the outcome - I'm now left feeling a bit like "piggy in the middle" ... owing to Myrna, my immediate family and (not least) practically the whole of the Scottish electorate choosing the status quo!
