    The UK have to keep bailing out the poorer countries when they contribute nothing because they did not join for economic benefits they joined to be away from the Russian sphere of influence

    Liberals are morons.

    Because to them the EU symbolizes tolerance (not being 'racist') security (not true we saw how quickly that terrorist jumped border from France to Belgium) opportunity (not true why else is half of Romania here) and economic benefits (they will not reduce the tariff, people keep throwing the phrase free trade around without even knowing what a common market is, we still have EFTA and can make new alliances, we have a massive balance of I payments deficit in EU anyway) and rights etc (which is not true since we opted out of the Maastricht social charter) and NHS needs migrants (only 3% of NHS workers are migrants but over 50% in the waiting room are recent migrants)

    So Germany will kick it's own industry in the balls to "punish" the UK? EU will keep members with fear? Sounds like a great group.

    This is bad news for all of Europe, will have global consequences as well.
    However, I'm not a fan of the EU, in the short-term this will be very painful. But long run its good. This vote result was as much about anti-elite anti-establishment than it was about all the other things the media was reporting on.

    This also means all the attractive women in London will have to move back to Spain and Eastern Europe.

    I can understand a true isolationist conservative American not giving AF, but I really don't get y'all celebrating.

    If you feel camaraderie w limey voters, or if you have a strong take on the EU, you are kinda being a globalist, LOL.

    I doubt this will really matter much but I would be interested to see how it will affect England.

    But this does make me feel less bad about Trump being a nominee for president. It's not just us Americans who hate foreigners.

    So people old enough to remember before they were part of the EU bought into the fear mongering about the world coming to an end if they left the EU? Not surprising to me.

    Obama's professorial lecturing of the British people didn't work? I'm shocked.

    Yet another schit stain on his foreign policy disaster of a legacy.

    Obama looks like a complete fool. His pitiful plea to the British voters failed.

    This has nothing at all to do with Obama. Let's not go there.
