Bloody hell...all these other EU countries and the US just had Referendums too! The FTSE 100 has ended the day at 6,138.69 points, down 199 points. That's still considerably higher than the 5,806 it touched earlier this morning. European markets have been well and truly spanked, however, with the Dax in Frankfurt down 6.8% - its worst day since the financial crisis in 2008, the Cac in Paris shed 8%, Madrid fell 12%, while Milan takes the wooden spoon with a 12.5% plunge. Wall Street is also lower lower, with the S&P down 2.7% and the Dow 2.1% lower.
The only thing I honestly care about is that peace is maintained in NI. There aren't many options that wouldn't be used as an excuse by either side to unleash holy fucking hell again. Then you don't just have an Islamic fundamentalist problem you've lit the fuse on a tinderbox in your back garden. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
hmm. Begretters. That must be a synonym for "morons". Sad that people like this actually have a vote, but that's democracy, folks.
Actually the Lakes are also fine. Scotland or the Lakes. Somewhere hilly and green (and not within spitting distance of a conurbation).
So let me get this straight - the FTSE has fallen 3% while the continental stock exchanges have fallen more than twice as much? So who is Brexit really going to hurt, Britain or Euroland? i suspect I know and it comes as no surprise.
Absolutely, but just remember Scotland spends £15billion more on public services than it raises in taxes, those are SNP figures by the way.
So that's democracy now is it? Didn't get our way so we'll hold a second referendum. Who did this, sturgeon? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Ah yes but the idea is England will keep paying that forever as reparation for Edward the 1st or Culloden or the Poll Tax or something. Mind you, if that logic holds, England is in line for a massive payout from the Romans and the Danes. Trouble is Italy are bankrupt so the cash would have to come from EU central funds which Scotland would be paying into. So to save on paperwork we may as well just keep the £15 billion in the first place.
Trump wants to put a stronger wall between the USA and Mexico - maybe while he's there (in Scotland) we should ask him to fund the rebuilding of Hadrian's Wall
