Posted by SelkirkTMO on Fri Jun 24 03:40:46 2016, in response to Britain votes to leave the EU, posted by Olog-hai on Fri Jun 24 01:54:57 2016. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/24/eu-referendum-results-live-brexit-wins-as-britain-votes-to-leave/Britain has voted to leave the European Union, with the Leave campaign securing around 51.8 per cent of the vote. David Cameron has resigned as Prime Minister in an emotional speech outside 10 Downing Street. While England voted overwhelmingly for Brexit, Scotland and Northern Ireland backed Remain. Statements are expected to be made by Sinn Fein and the SNP later today calling for a breakaway from the Union. London backed Remain but the turnout was lower than expected because of bad weather. The pound crashed to the lowest level since 1985 as sterling fell below $1.35. Complacency about a Brexit outcome will come clear this morning, as out of hours trading suggests that the FTSE 100 will drop by 8.8pc, or by some 560 points. The fall would be the third worst in history if stocks ended the day down as sharply.  In a speech outside 10 Downing Street he said: "The British people have voted to leave the EU and their will must be respected. The will of the British people is an instruction that must be delivered. There can be no doubt about the result. Across the world people have been watching the choice that Britain has made. This will require strong, determined and committed leadership. I am very proud to have been Prime Minister of this country for six years. I have held nothing back. The british people have made a very clear decision to I think the country requires fresh leadership. I do not think I can be the captain to take the country to its next destination. In my view I think we should have a new prime minister in place by the start of the Conservative conference in October." --- Don't let the door hit you on the arse. Had you, and your conservatives not shafted the working people all these years, this might not have been the outcome. Let this also be a lesson for America, people are tired of being servile to the rich and their interests, and voting for Trump ain't going to get us there either. My opinion. |
