 Also, love Spain trying to use this to get Gibraltar back, since it voted Remain overwhelmingly. Love Sinn Féin wanting a referendum for separating Northern Ireland from the UK and unifying Ireland.  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/23/leave-or-remain-eu-referendum-results-and-live-maps/ Love it. Imagine if this were to result in Scotland and Northern Ireland leaving the UK?  Wonderful, just wonderful. Glorious.Oh hey I felt like bringing in this old news: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-31725075 Cat Mattress fucked around with this message at 10:44 on Jun 24, 2016 |

If the SNP is smart they'll announce a Scexit referendum to be held as soon as possible. This is the best opportunity they're going to have in decades. The trolling potential is off the charts.

Joint statement by Donald Tusk, President of the European Council, Martin Schulz, President of the European Parliament, Mark Rutte, holder of the rotating Presidency of the Council of the EU, and Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the European Commission, on the outcome of the United Kingdom referendum:quote:"In a free and democratic process, the British people have expressed their wish to leave the European Union. We regret this decision but respect it. (Bolding mine) EU taking a tough stance - there will only be formal negotiations on Brexit, no extended informal ones. And time is not on the UK's side.

Food availability in the Netherlands is among the best in the world, and it is also relatively cheap. There is absolutely no need to eat Dutch food at all while you're in the Netherlands, as long as you know how to cook.

Train every single retard goon who voted for leave to this thread to explain themselves. Explain why you crashed the entire world economy and destroyed trillions $ of wealth and the economic future of your country for the "lulz" or whatever. I'm butthurt so much right you wouldn't believe it. Why do I have to deal with this poo poo when it's YOUR baby boomer population that is mentally deficient.

Why did so many people vote Leave when apparently they did not want Leave to win. Is there lead in the water in the UK or something, or is it congenital mental deficiency?

I've always been intrigued by Norn Iron. Will there be a lot of people (Unionists turned Nationalist) in the wake of this vote? quote:While I'm sort of shitposting I am serious, I've been a unionist for good reasons which included my thought that the UK had a good influence over the world, I think we've lost that and I feel no reason to stay within the UK, it was the only reason I was holding on. I've seena few others like me on /r/northernireland but it probably won't mean much to capital U unionist (until scotland leaves atleast) quote:Same mate. Was a big ol' unionist until about an hour ago. Would happily vote for a UI now. quote:Dubliner here. I never thought I'd say this but : yes, let's have a united Ireland. Yum yum!

Cat Mattress posted:https://www.reddit.com/r/ireland/comments/4pl39t/will_you_take_us_back/ The NI secretary of state has already ruled out a border poll today as the Good Friday agreement stipulates that one can only be called if the secretary of state has reason to believe that the outcome would lead to change in the status quo. We would need to see a significant swing in opinion polling (like +20% for a united Ireland) before it happens. SF knows this, they've called for border polls multiple times before. edit: Also Unionist turnout for Leave was stronger than expected and it scooped several constituencies usually won by the DUP. The Nationalist vote turnout was abysmal (49% in Belfast West, Gerry Adams old stomping ground) so its hardly a case that nationalist voters where fired up by the referendum. kustomkarkommando fucked around with this message at 14:28 on Jun 24, 2016 |

It's going to be funny if the EU spitefully stops using English as the primary working language now. It really shouldn't though, because it's a more common language than French or German in every member state except France, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and Austria. Plus it's a neutral third option so France and Germany don't have to fight about who's more important.Tesseraction posted:Especially from the most pants-on-fire lying government we've probably ever had.
