Brighton and Hove 68.6% to stay, maybe we should now have another referendum on whether Brighton and Hove should seek independence from the UK.

Nightmare. I am sure an awful lot of people who voted for Leave won't fully have understood the financial implications for themselves or their families.
Big fall in markets forecast today, God knows how long it will take to recover from the falls in pension pots and investments.

short term pain for long term gain.................. live with it

If you want someone to blame look no further than this governments arrogance and ignorance to the rising discontent in this country for which increased UKIP support was a fairly obvious sign. Our government could have fought for serious reform in the EU and based their remain campaign on a stronger revised member deal rather than basing their whole approach on fear and doom

Unfortunately prior to this vote Cameron showed his weak negotiating position at the EU table getting a deal which did not address the concerns of the electorate who have now taken matters into their own hands

And people still think this is a vote against the current government, such simple minds this is so further reaching than the current government the ripple from this will last decades

My pension pot becomes worthless today at 8.30....

the market reaction today is pretty irrelevant to your pension pot. the reaction next week, month etc is more important.

Maybe but of little comfort to anyone who is retiring shortly and looking to buy an annuity.
Also anyone going abroad this summer will have less spending money based on the falling pound.

 

[JC Footy Genius]

no one is going to be layed off today due to this vote. except prehaps Osborne.

And Farage!

I live abroad and not only lose a chunk of my pension pot but also lost more due to weak pound. It's already at lowest level v USD since 1985

Never mind,no more immigrants will get into the UK.

Right, better go into work now, see if we need to lay people off or whether they were just idle threats. Do not feel good this morning.

Nothing has changed this morning we are still in Europe for another two years.

On a personal basis, I had been upping my cash, just in case.Have to sniff around for a few bargains, but I am not a happy camper.

Markets hate uncertainty, this will take years and years to recover. Imported goods will become much more expensive. .. Last month I nipped over to Belgium to stock up on beer.. It probably won't be doable again.

Hope you are right DR.
We have no option but to live with it.
Care to forecast how long short term is

 

[Luke93]

So the side supported by Katie Hopkins, Boris and Farage win. Thank you to all the pensioners who have ****ed my future.
