So the UK is to leave the European Union.
That's pretty damn historic. At work today everyone was watching the live poll results as the UK slept. I suspect many of those living in the UK woke up to quite a scary surprise. My brother just moved back home after two years living in the UK; he's just happy he got his money out before the crash in the value of the GBP—it's just had its biggest fall in history. The Euro will surely follow, as this significantly weakens the EU and provides an impetus for other European nations to hold their own referendums. This is only the beginning of the story. I also feel for the Scots, who just voted to remain in the UK, yet also voted strongly in favour of remaining in the EU. If they'd voted for independence they wouldn't be in such a sticky situation. I suspect this will might lead to Scottish independence (and maybe even Irish re-unification), and a surge in the more cosmopolitan inhabitants of the UK to move to Edinburgh.
What are your thoughts and experiences of Brexit?
