tzijlstra Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Congratulations for all the Leave voters. Let's hope you get what you want. Because what I didn't want is already happening. The pound crashes to its lowest point since Thatcher, the Nikkei lost 7% in a few hours, the Future options on the European markets point to at least a similar loss just on opening this morning. Who knows where it will end. So let's keep track of the consequences in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baz1 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 The real consequences will be slow but when they come, they will be ferocious. Major political crises always burn slow. Hence why I think the Leave campaign has not thought this out and bought the rhetoric of Farage & Boris et al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna B Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 A lot of noses out of joint at the moment. Scores to settle etc. It's bound to be a rocky road at first but it will settle down soon enough. Keep calm and carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz1 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Is it possible that immigration in fact will see a rise as many take this opportunity to come to UK before the door closes...oh dear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laws of unintended consequences and all that. How long before the French rescind border agreements and just let the migrants walk onto the ferries to claim asylum in Dover?

Quik Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Laws of unintended consequences and all that. How long before the French rescind border agreements and just let the migrants walk onto the ferries to claim asylum in Dover? Till they want the routes shut down. 14 years for knowingly facilitating illegal immigration, how many ferry skippers will be up for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 UK's AAA credit rating to be downgraded...recession on the books. Oh the joy! Wow, that is actually true. S&P have already announced we will be losing our AAA rating. It's not even 8am. The Bank of England are implementing emergency measures to keep the banks stable and banks are implementing plans to keep cash machines operating. ---------- Post added 24-06-2016 at 07:39 ---------- Till they want the routes shut down. 14 years for knowingly facilitating illegal immigration, how many ferry skippers will be up for that? Coming here to claim asylum isn't illegal immigration. It's claiming asylum. There won't be border control at the French side if they end the agreement. The border will be here in the UK.
