I never voted, would have but was working ( ironically for the mk "elections" team lol )
I would have voted leave, my wife and entire family voted leave to
Mr Cameron has also resigned as prime minister
Now to see what the future holds
Ps - I get to keep my Hoover now, screw you EU lol
yea uk was fine before the eu and will be again
Short term it's going to hurt. U.S. hasn't even been hit yet and that will have affects rippling affects of its own for sure.
long term however... well, I don't know much about the EU, but from what I've heard the UK can still make agreements with the EU such as allowing free trade and travel. If that's the case and it does actually happen, I don't see this being a real loss for the UK.
yea uk was fine before the eu and will be again
W might still be part of the EUA whatever that is anyway
It'll all settle eventually, then we have the Scotland thing to deal with
yup, this is gonna spark another Scottish referendum
I always feel a little happy to know there's morons on both sides of the pond :D
- Trump supporters are congratulating the Leave voters
We are royally fucked.
We are royally fucked.
- A second Scottish independence referendum is now inevitable, and looks likely they'll vote to separate
- Farage takes back the notion that we can spend an extra £350m on the health service, not even an hour after the result
- France overtakes UK as world's 5th largest economy after vote
- Cameron resigns, Boris Johnson of all people is the early favourite to win new leadership vote
- Northern Irish party Sinn Fein calls for a vote on a united Ireland
- "What is the EU?" trends in Google searches in the UK after result
- Many companies and corporations who get EU funding have already begun to lay off employees and move business elsewhere
- Young people aged 18-24, of which 75% voted Remain, have to deal with a future they don't want, decided by the older generation
- Trump supporters are congratulating the Leave voters
The UK can still maybe hammer out a deal that would give them the benefits of being a EU member without all of the bullshit. It's already stupidly complicated, so why not make it more so?

You forgot to add that the pound is sinking like the Titanic and there are now fresh calls for a united Ireland as they fear they will enforce tight border controls between north and south, so that's gonna be fun too. I love how it's mainly people over 50 who voted leave and young people voting remain, this graphic illustrates it nicely -Either there are more old people than young people or that graph is somehow wrong because number crunching that thing came out to 48% Leave and 52% Stay (roughly). Imagine if there were a conspiracy that more people did vote Remain, but someone smudged the numbers to make Britain leave.

A sad day, I am thoroughly gutted and ashamed of how gullible and easily led the British public really is. Trump will be US President soon, the world is truly going to shit. Can I vote leave Earth because I want to get off.
Edit: Oh you did mention Ireland, sorry I missed that.

Also, they'll be doing Mars colonization soon so save me a seat next to you, stevie :)

There were more old people voting than young people. The old fucks came out in force for this one.
Yes! Can't wait for that, sick of these immigrants, good old Boris will sort it out, he knows true all-English values, after all I saw him eating Cornish pasties and drinking Yorkshire ale on his campaign tour.
Wait what's that? He wasn't even born in England and his real name is Boris Kemal?!
No-one tell Farage. :-X
The immigration/refugee issue is a huge deal though. I'm not one to advocate paranoia, but we've seen time and time again what kind of damage these extremists can do. Even if 3 extremists out of 10000 refugees was to get through whatever weak ass security measures they have in place, they would still be able to hurt/kill a lot of people.
Not all of the "refugees" even look like refugees. A good portion of them look and act like this is all somekind of vacation or something and being total hooligans meanwhile Germany is actively covering up sexual assaults by these "refugees".
Yeah, I know. I'm a total islamaphobe.

So denying those other 9,997 people a safe home is the way to reduce extremism?
Yeh you're right, for example the immigrants who did 7/7. Oh no they were British born. Or the guy who did the Florida shootings, no American born. 9/11, well we all know who did that :troll:(https://www.ugx-mods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FKlF2fku.gif&hash=eb6a22854b02e98fd5a658ebfa7c4964d30263e0)

Its not like there are many reported instances of the German government censoring right wing ant-immigration views
To be fair though you know there were plenty of Americans that probably answered that question without a problem. Some of the best systems do come from the US. I spent some time in South America in Chile, and all of the higher education had to be taught in English because it was all from the States. Specifically the sciences because details are lost in translation.
America is interesting because around 10% of the entire country is bright and the remainder of people are completely retarded.

Vince Mcmahon might as well be reporting the news right now.

Never mind the future of his children, gotta stop those fuckin' muslims at any cost.
Why the fuck did they put such an important decision in the hands of ordinary people? What the fuck do I know, let alone the wankstain in the video? Oh yeah, to win votes.
I fucking hate humans.
Yeh I really hope Germany starts promoting more right-wing nationalist views, turned out so well last time..
And you didn't answer me, you're a Trump supporter right? I know you are (obviously) but I just want to hear you admit it.
...the future of children who could be bombed at any moment because of the flood of immigrants and no proper background checks(as if was even possible to begin with).
Right wing then = Right wing now. -SteviewWonder87.
of course I'm voting for Trump.
...the future of children who could be bombed at any moment because of the flood of immigrants and no proper background checks(as if was even possible to begin with).
I'm stuck between a corrupt politician who uses the vagina card so much you'd think it'd be a card in Magic the Gathering and a dumbass who's honest (in his own Edit: insane little world), so of course I'm voting for Trump.
Kind of like the whole Edward Snowden documents thing. Some news site went around and asked people on Times square if they knew who he was or what he did and they where completely clueless.
His kids are far, far more likely to now be bombed by the IRA than Islamic extremists lol. Where the fuck even was that? Grimsby or something, yeh prime target for terrorism that. ;D
You're stupid. And you spelt my name wrong stupid.
..you're not actually suggesting that immigration = terrorism, are you? .......nope, looks like you are
You know there are OTHER options, right? You could vote Green or Libertarian or for LITERALLY ANYBODY ELSE other than that retarded bigot? And holy shit, Trump is just as dishonest as Hillary, you've got to be a fool not to see that.
You know Trump's views on Snowden, right? When he mentioned that "execution is still a thing"? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/24/donald-trump-edward-snowden-execution_n_3489944.html (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/24/donald-trump-edward-snowden-execution_n_3489944.html)
...and your a left wing idiot who can't see the negative repercussion of letting hundreds of thousands of immigrants into an entire continent with little checks in place.
Your right. That could never be the case. All of the immigrants/refugees are getting proper background checks(with 100% accuracy) and no terrorists are getting threw.
Yeah, hell no. Maybe in your own perfect left-wing world, but not this one.
Yeah, his children are going to be in one town for the rest of their lives(its possible, i guess?).

lmao.
I'm voting for him because he'll probably screw things up the least.
Yes because every single person with a left-wing ideology is an idiot.
Dismissing the views of an enormous group of people because they don't agree with you. Definitely a Trump supporter.
Again with the left-wing dismissals, fucking hell. Believe it or not, I thought better of you.

Being so concerned about terrorism that you would refuse a safe home for the 99.9% of people that aren't batshit insane, instead thinking they should stay in their own war-torn land. That's what I call giving in to terrorists, not protecting people from them. Isn't it funny how many of the most prolific terror attacks in recent decades have been by citizens of the country attacked? What a coincidence!
And for the record, I'm not left-wing, so don't get the idea that I'm a tumblrina who needs a 24/7 safe space.

I would bet everything I own that the man in the video has lived in that town his whole life. But you missed the point anyway, of course.
Guess it wasn't even a typo and you actually don't know the difference between 'you're' and 'your'.
And as an American I'd be far more worried about some kid walking into your college (highschool? not sure how old you are tbh) with a legally bought AR-15 and shooting the place up because some girl wouldn't go out with him than a crazy Muslim terrorist.
And for an American who is so xenophobic/racist you have a very odd obsession with Soviet Russia, but I probably would rather not know the reason behind that. :/
Sounds like a solid plan from an intelligent voter.
(fucking everything daedra says)
You and everyone else (should) know damn well what they can do in small numbers. 3 gun man can kill or injure 50+ people. Of course, there is no way to *completely* stop terrorism, but you can minimize the chances and stopping immigrants is a way to do that, especially when we know for a fact that they hide among them. Some terrorists go into other countries to recruit new members as well.http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/12/us/orlando-nightclub-shooting/ (http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/12/us/orlando-nightclub-shooting/)

(https://www.politicalcompass.org/chart?ec=-4.0&soc=-3.08)
I'm tempted to lock this thread.With all recent events, it was bound to happen, can't help that.
The Brexit was a sad thing for the European Union and what it stands for. Don't make this worse than it is already by making this thread into a clusterbomb.
Political discussions are just wrong on ugx-mods.com - clearly everyone seems to have a different opinion and tries to win - whatever this is here about.
It started about the Brexit, which is about the EU & UK, and is now a cocktail of poison + some idiotic trolling as usual.
It's great that people are interested in politics (although this here is just a small part and again one of the extreme ones) but UGX-Mods.com is just not the place for this kind of discussion.
After reading these 3 pages, I'm shocked but not surprised what I had to read and understand why we have things like the Brexit currently.
And please @deadra descent:
You can say whatever you want. But I would be very carefully what you consider as a fact.
You don't live in Germany and you obviously have no clue what political situation we have in Germany.
Politics in the United States and Germany are completely different, and I'm really worried about you when you really belive what you wrote earlier.
Please make yourself familiar with our (German) History. Go visit Germany and talk to us (Germans).
Go visit some demonstration of LEGIDA, PEGIDA and so on. Go visit some demonstrations against capitalism, CETA and TTIP.
Get yourself some real information and not something from an internet source - because it seems to me you are clearly not well informed.
Oh and there is more than just left and right - in Germany is well ;)
I really don't want to close this, because then I have to read again that we silence people and are XYZ and ABC and all this drama.
But may I remind you that the internet is large - and that this site is about Gaming, Modding, CoD, ...
Lol loads of world leaders commended our so called courage and said its necessary to make the EU leaders finally listen
And Wales hasn't said anything about leaving the uk, nor has Ireland nor are we trying to force them
The scots had their referendum, if they want another I'm sure they will get one
But to stay with us, by vote, then threaten to leave after the next decision says it all really
Taking the political test.... decisions decisions, why is there no neutral option?

EDIT: Here is my result:
(https://www.politicalcompass.org/chart?ec=-4.0&soc=-3.08)
It turned out just as I expected it to
Anyone who voted Brexit - regardless of why, are now branded "dumb, racist, bigot trump supporters"
Democracy is now also at fault for allowing older people to have a opinion
And us wanting to control immigration "ourselves" ( not stop immigration, which people cannot seem to fathom ) rather than being dictated to by another set of "unelected" officials
And completely ignore the hundreds of other repercussions of leaving the eu
Seriously there's hundreds of reasons to want out and not have to do with immigration at all, the pound will recover just like it always does and people will still be able to move / live here and move around the eu. We will open other trade opportunities and Infact may still be a member of the "EUA" so might even still be able to honour most current agreements
People need to realise it's not all about terrorism, immigration, money etc, there's a lot more to it
Unlike other countries the uk also has a crazy generous benefits system and the NHS - THIS is why we wanted different rules ( coz other places DO NOT have these ) and the EU refused every attempt at negotiating this
Stop with the instant jump to racism and people being dumb. They had their reasons, you had yours - EVERYONE had a right to vote. Even Brits living abroad - end of
(Trump supporters however are a different kettle of fish and I have no respect whatsoever for anyone who votes for that utter bellend.)My parents are voting for him :poker:
This pretty much sums it up for me...The Scottish are weird looking freaks? ;D
The Scottish are weird looking freaks? ;DNo. The Scottish are either

I never asked to be a part of a United Kingdom, and regardess of how the votes on the Independent referendum vote went the first time around, I voted YES to independance and will vote YES again if another referendum comes around.
The will of all 32 Scottish constituencies was to REMAIN within the EU which means the Scottish people were litterarly dragged out of the EU because of the majority of England. We voted to STAY within the EU and that was denied to us democratically, so yes, we SHOULD have another referendum for independance and I pray to God this time we vote correctly. I have nothing against England or the people who live there but this is my country and it should be in control of it's own destiny.
The Union means absolutely NOTHING to me!
but this is my country and it should be in control of it's own destiny.
that was denied to us democratically
no, you were "dragged out" by the majority of england, scotland, wales, ireland, gibralta and the rest of the common wealth countries
no, you were "dragged out" by the majority of england, scotland, wales, ireland, gibralta and the rest of the common wealth countries
if scotland dont like being part of the group they should have voted out before, not vote to stay in then stomp their feet when a "joint" decision is made that they dont like
Like I said already, letthemhave their referendum to leave again. Fact remains if it hadn't been this - it would have been something else they disagree with that would make them leave
Them? Their? They? Who are you referring to exactly? Scottish people? If so try being less ignorant next time. You're basing your argument on a bigoted and bias view point so I am done discussing this political matter with you, we will only come to an impasse.please think before you accuse
This makes me sad

Racists and xenophobes are out in force across the country, thinking they've won their country back. But in reality, they'll probably be the first to be significantly affected by the vote when their shitty holidays to Benidorm become more expensive.
People like the racists in that album are far too common in this shithole of a country.
is I won't continue with this anymore, coz I'm fed up with you twisting my words and just insulting my country and implying all my thoughts are bias, bigoted and racist - which let me reiterate is completely untrue
