Is there a good unbiased article summarizing what lead up to the decision to leave and the pros/cons of the decision that's been made? Pretty much everything I've heard about it so far is just the typical crowd screaming "racism" against anything they disagree with and while I am assuming part of it is people not liking muslims I have a hard time believing over half the country is just unapologetically xenophobic and there were no other motives involved.

they're probably looking at what the options are, but if there was ever a time for something as worthless as royalty to do the loving job properly, would be to put your nominal powers on the line to intervene in something this retarded.

My entire family knew all this poo poo and voted "leave."

I only found out this loving morning.

Our only way back into the UK, or to have stayed there in the first place was via european law.

I feel like I have had my heart torn out. I didn't know them at all and they sure as gently caress knew nothing about me.

As a liberal I too think that some people shouldn't be allowed to vote because they won't vote what I want then to vote. What's that? Every one sound have the right to vote hire they want to? Raciat!

Basically the uk paid billions upon billions out of its GNI to the EU and in return it's citizens went homeless and hungry and jobless. So the people said "hey maybe we should do something about it" and they did.

The polls show a lot of people voting for leave even though they thought it would hurt the economy. So, yeah, pure spiteful racism played a role here.

It already rebounded a big bit. This is legit a bad move, but whenever a big status quo change happens good or bad, stocks falls and the currency drops. poo poo like that doesn't matter and is the result of some billionaires making the wrong bet.
