I doubt the pain in Britain will be half as awful as the Remain folks are saying, or that the benefits will be half as great as the Leave ones think they'll be.

They should have required a definite majority 58% maybe 60%.
Like the issues of Scotland or Quebec. 52% could be a mandate for a status quo but for change, it's a mandate for civil war. Too damn close, the only thing clear is the division.

Everyone in Canada was prepared to let the PQ have a win with 50% plus 1.
Same in Scotland.
It's really telling the EU leaders seem almost happy to get the UK out,
there is no attempt from them to invalidate or refuse the referendum results.
Or to sit down and talk about it.

There's a formal process to talk about it over the next few years...
Exactly. Even if the UK were to invoke article 50 tomorrow, it could take up to two years to finalize everything.

George Orwell as quotable as ever:
$1:
“England is not the jewelled isle of Shakespeare's much-quoted message, .... It resembles a family, a rather stuffy Victorian family, with not many black sheep in it but with all its cupboards bursting with skeletons. It has rich relations who have to be kow-towed to and poor relations who are horribly sat upon, and there is a deep conspiracy of silence about the source of the family income. It is a family in which the young are generally thwarted and most of the power is in the hands of irresponsible uncles and bedridden aunts. Still, it is a family. It has its private language and its common memories, and at the approach of an enemy it closes its ranks. A family with the wrong members in control - that, perhaps is as near as one can come to describing England in a phrase.”

Well, I guess they just should have done a better job of shockproofing their lives against any and all possible outcomes. Which was what anyone who got screwed in 2008 by the housing collapse, or got fucked over by the Arabs in 2014 were all told. When the rich hurt I'm glad. I don't care anymore about how petty and spiteful that makes me. Didn't give a fuck about me or any of the other normies, or anyone at all who took it on the chin in Britain from the Thatcher years onwards, so the favour is being returned now with interest.

World's top 400 richest apparently lost $125+ Billion in this little episode so far. Something like 2 trillion in markets worldwide?
This is supposed to make you happy, remember ?

It's a shame the people will suffer for this.
Ummm, the people voted for it, fair and square.
Again, you should be happy the prollys finally got off their collective asses and voted for change.

Herr Juncker is trying to talk tough like an old fashioned Junker but nobody seems to be buying it.

EU presses U.K. for exit talks after Brexit vote
The foreign ministers of Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands were expected to discuss the process and speed of Britain's exit.
Luxembourg's foreign minister said Britain needs to quickly start negotiations with the European Union on its exit from the trade bloc.
Speaking in Berlin after the meeting, Jean Asselborn said he hoped there would be no "cat and mouse" game now and that Britain would invoke Article 50 of the EU charter, which allows for a country to leave.
"There must be clarity," Asselborn told reporters. "The people have spoken and we need to implement this decision."

The EU let Merkel hammer the final nail in their coffin with her disastrous immigration policy which forced Britain's hand who had enough of their incompetence.
