Wow a lot of interesting and mixed views.
I would like to point out that no one I know of said "I'm (insert nationality) , not European, Fuck Europe".
How would USA like joining an "American Union" which included all North and South American countries, where the headquarters was in Cuba and Cubans made laws that governed USA citizens, by politicians that were never elected while handing over to Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Columbia etc, bucket loads of money!
If I recall the last time another country tried to tell USA what to do and unfairly tax them, they started a war and now call 4th of July independence day! All we did was draw crosses on bits of paper and the whole world has gone to shit!
Why can't we have a peaceful Europe, that we trade with, with-out giving up sovereignty?
As for trading.. I just had to pay £135.94 import duty on my heat-press because it came from outside the EU and is currently stuck in customs. Hopefully I will be able to trade outside EU without these ridiculous tariffs in the future.
My car is Korean, my T.V. is Korean, my computer is American, my vape is American & Canadian, most of my clothes and other stuff is made in China, my heat-press is Chinese... in fact the only items I can think of I buy that is European is some food from Aldi & Lidl, not a reason for me to want to vote to stay.
Also every young person I have spoken to, because I have heard all the stories that the youth voted to stay... not one of the youngsters I have spoken to voted remain... so again the press trying to make a young vs old divide is wrong and they need to stop this BS propaganda.
As for Scotland, if they think they can negotiate a deal on their own with Europe, good luck to them, it would be a shame to see Scotland leave with such a deep and rich history in the UK, but if that's what they want. The same goes for Ireland, the last thing we want is the USA funding bombs in England's bins again, I thought we had put all this behind us, and this worries me more than anything else, if Brexit causes the IRA to kick off again.
I had a friend who came from Belfast, I made the mistake once of calling him Irish, wow, I've never seen someone so upset with someone getting their Nationality wrong, "I'm British, NOT Irish" he screamed at me...crikey, I know Canadians can get a bit miffed when us Brits ask if they are American, because we struggle with differentiating the accent, but seriously, don't call someone from Northern Ireland, Irish, unless they are nationalists!
I do feel for those such as
@CarolKing who has lost money from pension pots because of a vote the other-side of the world. Surely no-one expected the UK to cast their vote caring about how someone's pension pot in USA might be affected, it's nice to see some still actually have a pension, because I don't!
The loss is because the financial sector is corrupt to the core and the stock market deals in misery to make money, just like the crash in 2007 where some people made billions off the back of others misery, until the system is changed, this is going to continue, that's not the fault of the UK for voting to leave the EU.
