UK:

Well done.

raymondo ,,long time !

yup the folk of the uk have had their say .

mibbe we can now look forward to making and passing our own laws without consent from an outside body that is totally
unaccountable and cannot be voted out.

as for your president , he needs to keep his nose out of things that don't apply to him.

the stock markets have reacted to the uncertainty , but no more than when a new labour government
gets elected .

heres to a bright future B)

What was the reaction to the news over your side of the pond,mate?

I expected the vote to remain to win, but i'm glad they didn't. Hopefully Scotland will now follow suit and get their wish in the second referendum that will no doubt follow sooner, rather than later. ;D

Remains to be seen. I think a moderately pro-EU position is quite common over here. That is the position I took until recently. It's a shame how it has all turned out. The Common Market/EEC/EU did a lot of good in the world. Unfortunately the EU over-reached, too much centralization of power and too little democratic accountability, and now has become a vehicle for neo-liberal policies and unchecked immigration.

There is one thing history will praise the EU for, I'm certain--hastening the move of Eastern Europe away from communism.

To be fair he gave a straight answer to a direct question - something we all moan about politicians so often failing to do.

....Oh and when the subject concerns the fifth largest global economy (with whom the US shares a special relationship) and the largest trading bloc in the world (with whom the US does an awful lot of business) that is of legitimate and significant interest to the USA; so, as its president, it definitely DOES concern him.

Too many of us think this just concerns ourselves and is nothing to do with anyone else. It doesn't and it is.

I see he's changed his stance on us being at the back of the queue in terms of a trade agreement (another idol threat) don't the U. S celebrate the same thing we've just done on the 4th July? The Scots can have their independence who's to say they will be let into the EU right away. Because when their not they'll realise how much they rely on English taxes to prop them up.

You've gorra loff at Wee Jimmy Krankie. The knee high glorifiied county council leader is screaming like a bitch that she wants another Scottish referendum. Just a couple of points Nicola. What asset is it you think you have of any value to be econonmically viable to sustain yourselves? And, just what is it that makes you think the oil, which isn't worth much more than jack s*** at the moment, is actually yours? Oh, good luck...and btw, we'll be sending the builders up to Carlisle shortly!
