A Prime Minister resigned. The £ plummeted. The FTSE 100 lost significant ground. But then the £ rallied past February levels, and the FTSE closed on a weekly high: 2.4% up on last Friday, its best performance in 4 months. President Obama decided we wouldn't be at the 'back of the queue' after all and that our 'special relationship' was still strong. The French President confirmed the Le Touquet agreement would stay in place. The President of the European Commission stated Brexit negations would be 'orderly' and stressed the UK would continue to be a 'close partner' of the EU. A big bank denied reports it would shift 2,000 staff overseas. The CBI, vehemently anti-Brexit during the referendum campaign, stated British business was resilient and would adapt. Several countries outside the EU stated they wished to begin bi-lateral trade talks with the UK immediately. If this was the predicted apocalypse, well, it was a very British one. It was all over by teatime. Not a bad first day of freedom.

That German newspaper saying thay will 'not put on sun cream and burn themselves in solidarity' nearly convinced me to vote remain!
Sun cream would have been a boon in those flash floods and thunderstorms, eh?

Point taken but Canada is one big country.....Sheffield Wednesday big
. Yet for all that it has (what seems to me) great infrastructure, a very decent standard of living and a respected place in the world. That can't be on the back of trade agreements with the US alone can it? The same with Oz and New Zealand...both doing very nicely. Why can't the UK?
Oh gawd - is this what the end of the world looks like? Was expecting fire and brimstone myself - a bit of a let down really... ...... ...
Yep. Just the next 10 years we've got to worry about now when reality bites.

Angry. Ashamed. Distrustful (of the lying deceitful devious Brexit leadership).
Yes, a top evening, fairly mild....and somewhat serene.

Disappointed (at the level of vitriol being aimed at people in general by people who didn't get their own way)
Nervous (about what might happen......but......)
Optimistic (that the threatened meltdown/Armageddon won't happen)

Oh dear. You spent many posts last night using terms like "moron" etc. Not your finest hours, may i remind you that 52% of the country are "morons".....or to be generous perhaps you are an example of a few in the Remain camp.
Chin up. We are strong, we may have got out at the right time.

You really don't get it do you.
None of that matters.
The heart and soul of this country has been ripped apart.
We are now a nation divided.
I think "i get it", although like you it is just my opinion.
