Do you think the UK was wise to leave the EU? So far it seems to be driving a worldwide economic turbulence.

If you like your freedom it was the wise thing to do. At least that's what I hear. Trump and Palin think we are going to do the same thing and take our country back from the evil Guberment, Democrats, Blacks, Mexicans, Muslims, Gays and the UN?

Seems to be economic suicide driven by baby boomers. 75% of millenials voted to stay.

Let me just say to you investors: Stay the course. It is only a momentary blip in time on the US stock market.

The reports of people who now wish they'd voted "stay" are becoming more and more ridiculous. Everything from, "I didn't think it would really happen" to "it was just a protest vote, I didn't really want to leave".

Take note half-hearted Trump supporters.

Truth is UK never was really into the european sentiment. The younger people, that's all they have known, but older persons probably long for the days when England proudly stood by itself.

They don't know what they have done. The Pound is at levels from 1985, London is said to be losing its financial capital of the world status, probably infavor of Paris or Frankfurt or whatever. Those with a second residence (for instance in Spain 74k in Alicante alone, I think) won't have access to free healthcare. Scortland, prominently pro-UE, wants another referendum...

Inmigrants will have a harder time getting to the UK, that's for sure.


Maybe England_Sun can add some first hand info on all this.

It has given rise to overt racism over there. I've read some nasty reports about what is going on. It's sad.

Sometimes the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

Now would be a good time to visit the UK since their currency just tanked.

I don't think any countries like foreigners aside from tourism dollars. The U.K. Is acting like Trump supporters.

Well, they appear set to elect a head of state with ridiculous hair.

the British media and political elites should have done a better job explaining how xenophobic and bigoted exiting the EU is.
