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
 

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.

Re: goodbye
 

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.

Re: goodbye
 

Probably, you know.

If UK would have remained, I would have just gone "eyh, more of the same I guess"


I don't want to take votes away from anybody yet, I think. BUT, I do think that if you are over 70 you should take driving tests every 2 years or so, just to keep the streets safe.

Social media is pure fire tho, some pretty hilarious stuff. People acting like sports fans, next we'll see flag burning.

Re: goodbye
 

You need to also take into account that those 50-70 years were the ones who witnessed us going into the EU, who experienced what it was like to be in the EU, and may have now been the one's who chose to leave the EU, because they saw no benefit.

I value their say more than 19-30 year olds who would have lived their entire lives being in the EU, not knowing the difference. Oh and not to mention how this age bracket have been scare mongered by all these pro EU videos on social platforms!

Re: goodbye
 

This sounds like the US. Half the country wants one thing and half the country wants something else altogether.

I really dislike these political type threads on this forum. I learn to discredit people in general based on ludacris opinions of others rights. Just because someone does not want the same thing as you does not mean they are retarded. The idea that 18-30 year old should make worldly decisions exclusively is insane. There is a reason most countries have a legal drinking age and driving age etc....Time and experience is a great educator.

thanks for this. i feel i am being called retard as well. i dont vote anymore but if i did it would be trump.

Re: goodbye
 

I agree with the age thing 100% and I'd be the last person to take away votes from people just because of their age. I've almost always had good experience with older people and in all honesty, I think I've always enjoyed spending time with older people because I can learn from them and they have experienced things that I haven't.

I guess it can go both ways: If you spend a lifetime in politics you might learn a lot and become a great leader and a very educated person in the subject matter OR you can become corrupt and ignorant.

I'm just sayin that I don't like small group of individual making decisions that will affect a big percentage of population, especially when it comes to some of the politicians here in the UK.

I know campaign promises are almost as meaningless as my plans that I make when I'm drunk and its 2AM, but still... Its pretty bad when they back-pedal from their promises right after they've made it.

I seriously don't know why I get hot and bothered about some of the things that are happening in the world, because I'm not politicially active person at all- I don't trust the system that we have in place, so its hard to force myself to take interest.

And no, please don't get me wrong: I'm not calling anyone a retarded here because I don't know anybody personally. I don't know who voted how and why they did it.
BUT, I do think that people who vote for Trump with belief that Trump will make America great again are retarded- Surely if you think that the whole wall idea is great, you are being racist and a bit retarded? No?

Play, funny enough you mentioned the previous generation remembering the time before EU: Both my parents voted "leave" and they said the same thing: "Oh we remember the time before EU, it was much better"
I think the world was much more simple back then, I think the world had not borrowed itself broke back then and I have a feeling many people who remember the pre-EU days voted "Leave" out of nostalgia.

I understand now why politics are not allowed in this forum- Its a ****show and unfortunate misunderstandings happen. Everybody just reads and writes text and context and emotion gets lost.
99% of the things I say are just brain farts, I totally agree- Its internet and non of us are experts. Just chattin sht, thats all.

Re: goodbye
 

I agree with most of the post here that i did not like how this referendum went down at all with all the doomsday predictions. I minght not live in the E.U. but right now the EU is a complete and utter mess where they are taking from the richer Countries to sustain the smaller economies with little or no thanks at all and thanks to their immigration hot mess in Germany. ISIS terrorist are all over Europe in addition to the amount of women and children raped going up at an alarming rate. If the EU had remained a trading block the agreement would have been very good for all the neighbouring countries but trying to create a super state out of pure greed is anything but beneficial to the countries involved.

Re: goodbye
 

Most popular thing lately - "lets quit some alliance, will be much better, and don't know why, friend told me it's cool". And that is decided by people, who do not know anything about how the economics work at all. Let's spend billions of pounds for the separation, have increased cost of labor and transport, harder customs and so... but be separated! Separated from something most of the people don't even know about.

Re: goodbye
 

muzzie,

That has been the basis of politics for years.

It is called Democracy.

:comp5:

Re: goodbye
 

Democracy is when people elect some "smart" guys to do important decisions for them, as these guys understand what is going on. But if people think they can decide such important things themselves based only on their personal opinions but not real facts and understanding of political mechanics - who needs the government at all!

Re: goodbye
 

Which is why there is Democracy to stuff up the works!

Re: goodbye
 

Listen... We are apes who are flying in space using a piece of rock as a vehicle. We still have an old lady who waves to people and has its face stamped on pieces of paper and metal that we give other people in order to get more food and bigger telly.

Its all a big ****up, thats all.

For those not familiar with the EU Union, here's an explanation:

Hi from Russia, we still all fine :)
