Megaspel posted:You have the only other good animation uni in the UK, Dundee. They rejected me though so I had to go to Bournemouth, which was great, excluding the one teacher who was an hour late and spent the remaining hour of the lecture trying to pirate Up on youtube, eventually a student had to go up and give him the link to a Russian piracy site. Also I found our new British anthem right here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hI-IIDtoxDE

If anyone cares, I did the math, and it wasn't close enough for the rain in London to have swung the results. If turnout there were as high as expected, then Leave would have won by 256,000 instead of 270,000.

I just checked the value of my stocks ISA and holy poo poo it's actually up today. I had no loving idea how but i checked it out a bit, turns out the guys bought a bunch of gold and put a short on sterling. Geniuses. Pity that sterling is still 5% down though.

This is the pot calling the kettle black since I'm american, but you lot really do have the dumbest possible electorate. Whoops our protest vote won, I guess we'll just be the trash fire of Europe now. Question for people saying the EU punishing you for brexit is bad: Do you not believe that the EU gets to act in its self interest? I know it's not a great force for anything good, really, but it still gets to take steps to try and prevent its break up just because the english(and welsh) are too stupid to understand anything.

Pantsuit posted:Well i mean, their treatment of refugees is pretty dire. The EUs treatment of refugees is dire entirely because of Nationalist movements like UKIP. Nobody voted leave to see refugees get treated better, they voted leave because they thought the EU wasn't treating them badly enough.

Nonsense posted:The DoD already criticized British efforts these past 15 years in a report sometime last year I believe. If Brits hated the US-UK relationship in the war on terror (or any future conflict), I think they'll be happy knowing it's pretty much over now. That is true but I think it swings both ways. With more focus on the EU and less on the UK for the US, the U.K. loses a lot of potential for influence that is really above their geopolitical standing. Now I think their relevance will revert back to what is appropriate for a country of that size and geopolitical standing.

As an outsider watching this, is it possible that parts of the SNP voted leave to intentionally set the framework to get another independence vote going since staying with the EU was part of the reason their previous attempt failed or am I giving far too much credit to the country that looks up what the results of their choice will be the loving day after they vote?

CoolCab posted:so does this kill the eu you think, everywhere else is agitating for a leave now Everywhere else's far-right nationalist parties, that is. And none of those parties have near the clout the UKIP have over the British because the British tend to be much more racist. They could come within 10 points in some nations, but watching GB's economy die in a fire of regret is going to make a pretty effective "stay in the EU" ad.

CoolCab posted:so does this kill the eu you think, everywhere else is agitating for a leave now Of course they are. This is why the EU is gonna come down hard on the UK when they start negotiating, because if it's easy to leave the EU you'll see lots of far right parties put up referendums like the brits did. And since Europe is in the middle of losing its mind over refugees, there's lots of far right parties to put up said referendums.

Imagine Ralph Nader, Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders all teamed up to make a bill on gun control. That's how loving weird and rare it was to see four political party leaders of different ideologies vote together on one single choice.

theblackw0lf posted:If it turns out that many people that voted Leave regretted their vote, wouldn't that mean that parliament might suffer less consequences if they went against their referendum? The backlash would be nothing compared to the riots they'd see from the severe austerity that would be imposed as our economy nosedives. I don't see how a Tory government that backed the leave campaign could survive the anger that the people of Britain would have as everything goes to poo poo around them. Megaspel posted:Time to check up on the Scottish animation and game industries. FinalGamer posted:The people who ported Minecraft to the Xbox 360 are based here. We have good money potential in animation and gaming, the electronics industry booms up here. Hell there's universities up here that actually have videogame design courses and cybersecurity development so anyone who wants to further careers in that, come right on up! Could Scotland really survive if they left the UK to join the EU, though? And what happens if/when the EU eventually implodes?

I might be mistaken but France and Italy(?) already had pretty big portions of their populations being pretty anti-EU and this certainly wont help.

The SNP's framework explicitly relies on Scotland going as Remain as it possibly can so barring SNP infiltrators in Scotland no.
