goodbye
 

I'm a little early but with odds of 1-4 on leave now I just want to say a quick goodbye to:
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Republic of Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden.

We can still be friends but just more like a cousin rather than an annoying older step brother.

And Turkey- I'm sorry we never got to be acquainted but it just would of never worked out.

The £ is crashing like a lead balloon but luckily I've already sent over £70k to my suppliers in anticipation of this monumental event. Its a very happy day so far in the dan_ebay household

Re: goodbye
 

Sounds like you made a great Hedge against inflation. Hope sales continue as normal soon if you sell across borders.

Re: goodbye
 

Happy day?

What in the actual ****?

This vote has shown that people in UK are 52% retarded and if you look where the leave voters came from... Its was from the North.
If you look back in history it just shows that the North wants to be left alone and the "working class" has turned into "benefit class" and now they think that they need to voice their feelings.

Its a sad day, because once again loud and obnoxious have won. I honestly don't think people realise how it'll affect them.

I just don't want to live on this planet anymore, this is beyond retarded. Now all we need is a Trump win and its 100% confirmed that retarded people have outfooked the smart ones.

Re: goodbye
 

will be watching. bunch of warnings popped up on all my trading/finance apps, etc.

Re: goodbye
 

After stocks start crashing down in the next few days that is when I will start to put more money into my ETA funds and mutual funds.
The next few days are good days for stock buys in the US. I dont know what sectors are a good buy, I dont have access to friends or old coworkers, that why I just stick with ETAs and mutual funds.

i know that US financials are going to get hit hard, then rebound.

Ah well, he would not be told.

He kept Scotland. No way would he get both.

:uk:

Re: goodbye
 

At least its going to be cheaper to visit the UK in the near future. The pound is getting nailed today.

Re: goodbye
 

Ouch, the crash of the £.... yuck!

Re: goodbye
 

Crash of £ is not THAT bad, as it'll most likely bounce back and will just take a small hit... Look at the ****ing housing sector and banks, they are taking it up the arse as we speak. No lube, no nothing. No flowers or first date- They just woke up to this Mad Max type ****.

Re: goodbye
 

Well some people dont like to use lube, they like the feel of PAIN...

Re: goodbye
 

What makes you so certain that remaining would have been better?

Re: goodbye
 

Nothing is certain, I'm not saying that a vote for remain would have made it all better.

I just don't like the way it went down- You know the "don't throw the baby out with bath water" saying? I think thats exactly what has happened here.

I'm 100% for people having their own identity, countries controlling their own policies and keeping alive old traditions- For me EU has always been a negative controlling influence, because I'm originally from Scandinavia and I see how smaller countries have been affected and how in many cases the whole "lets all be the same, lets all be EU" has changed countries and made them all just more... European, but in that process some countries have, and will, lose their identity and independance.
For a big country like UK, the decision will only affect them financially- Thats what it boils down to. I don't think EU has affected them in any other way.
If you look at smaller countries, they are benefiting from the EU but they are kind of selling their soul and being treated like a toddler. It's great for small ex Soviet Union countries that are tiny compared to UK, but for bigger countries... I've never seen EU as a positive.

Why I'm kind of butthurt?
Probably because of the way the whole thing went down- People on TV fearmongering, famous and well known people talking out of their arse most of the time, everybody speculating and using buzzwords to target the old people, the benefit population, the serving military people, the people who are ill and need NHS...
It was all around fear, nothing else.

Now... Well, now people got what they wanted- UK is out.

You know... 2008 it all went tits up and for the past 6 years we've just heard about cuts and how we are still trying to recover.
Now we are in 2016 and I'm pretty sure for the next 6 years we'll get more cuts and more spiel about how we are trying to recover- Only this time the fancy suited guy on telly will say that it was our own doing.


I'm just sad that instead of looking at our own government and how they run the country, people have decided to blame something else- Its always somebody else, because its easier to fight the "war on terror" and to blame "European Union"... The faceless "bad guy" in our lives.


Also whats sad is that my generation was very active this time of voting and majority of the 19-30 year old wanted to stay in- Because we will have to live in this future.
BUT, the 50 year-olds wanted the "good 'ol GREAT Britain" back again.

Again, I just generally hate how old people make decisions and then young people need to survive their decisions somehow. I just find it absurd how 50-70 year old person can have a say in a new world that they will never be part of.
The same with America: Hillary is 68 years old and 'Ol Donald is 70 years old.... How the FOCK does that make sense of one of them being a president?

I personally think that both votes would have had their positives and negatives, but I would have perhaps reformed UK first and tried to influence EU from within, rather than ragequit and start another period of "its going to be difficult, we are trying to recover"

What do people think? We vote out and then the next morning our wages go up, they are building new hospitals and our interest rates will drop down to zero?
Honesty, what did the "vote out" people try to achieve with this? What was the whole purpose of it? I just don't get it.

"oh we have our country back now".... Well, its pretty ****ed up if you'd ask me so good luck having that toy back, that you have been abusing for past 40 years. Good luck with that.

PS: I'm 100% neutral and I don't have a say in it- I see both sides and I agree that every country should have control over itself and have its own identity... But I just don't like the way it went down. The conversation between the politicians and the common folk was not intelligent- Most of the time it was driven by fear and ignorance, rather than futuristic vision and new ideology.

Re: goodbye
 

I mean... No pain, no gain. Right? :spy:

Re: goodbye
 

You're not serious, are you?

Who else do you want to take away the vote from?

Re: goodbye
 

Obviously, he wants to disenfranshise anyone living north of London.

Pity it is a political topic or I might engage further.


PTL! Politics are to be treated gently on this forum.

Been a bit of bilge in these short posts alone

:violin:

Re: goodbye
 

Haidukken - sorry bud, I stopped reading after your first post, it's absolute drivel.

Everyone is entitled to vote, just because someone is aged between 50-70 it doesn't mean they don't have the same rights. They could be alive until they're 95 years old...

Re: goodbye
 

From the North? Basically the whole of England other than London. Cheers for calling me a retard though lol.
Was the North who voted to stay in you plum, our little Scottish umpa lumpa friends

Yes because a 1 bed flat costing £400k in London is such great news

Re: goodbye
 

umad? Most economists/celebs/big businesses and politicians wanted to stay ffs, they were the ones fear mongering over leave. Wheres George Osbournes emergency tax rises?

and fuk me I'd rather have 'old people' voting than a bunch of students who haven't entered real life yet

Re: goodbye
 

Fug - UK pound taking a beating, stock markets rattling - good time to buy when things are low but for those holding now....ouch :(

Re: goodbye
 

My guess is you would have said the same post if we REMAINED to.
You have a moot point.

Re: goodbye
 

The amount of hysteria today on social media is frightening. You would think the world had ended.
