If Auclair is based in the UK as an EU citizen, he does have a personal interest in the outcome of Britains membership of the EU and the right to freedom of movement and work, to be fair.
Hopefully they put Hannan, Carswell and Redwood in charge of the renegotiation.
Can just see old alien head bowling in there next week with a "we'll keep it all but fuck the movement or paying for anything gambit".
Mark Carney almost called it The Bank of Eggland, that would have topped off the morning nicely.
The look on his face
The pound seems to have rallied, or at the very least steadied since business opened today. Certainly against the Euro and also against the dollar.
It begins:
HSBC will more than likely follow. So that's the financial sector gone and an inability to hire developers fucked for the creative sector. What are you lot going to have left? Greggs?
edit:
BNP Paribas' HQ is already in Paris.
:/
If I had a pound for every time various institutions were going to desert 'The City' I'd be able to offer my own robust package of financial support.
Mainstream media selectively promoting its own view of Leave voters shocker.
Paris, the absolute epicentre of European stability.
As if the Jocks are going to vote to leave Britain. They shat the bed last time because they couldn't use our currency, so they aren't going to stroll into the euro.
@Mert this one wasn't the bbc.
Quite, the more you think about it the less it makes sense. Doubt they'll even have a referendum.
Nicholas Durgeon has a free run at it though, have Leave not basically rubbished all the economic arguments?
lolol independent London is good as well, as if it wouldn't be run straight into the ground by communists and Muslims.
Where's GS in all of this, has he even been on today?
When was that petition created? I can't say I particularly understand it - you'd need 60% of the vote and 75% turnout for a result to be legit? You'd, perhaps literally, never get a decision one way or the other.
Apparently under 30s turnout was 29%.
Wankers.
He's preparing a massive essay to finish Boyd off.
Ironically, sterling has apparently fallen so much that the UK no longer have the 5th largest economy in the world having slipped to 6th...behind France.
Roy will probably still pick him against Iceland.
Football is the big winner (loser) in all this. Sam Allardyce to seize control of the FA and impose 1 foreign player per squad. Coefficient to plunge and the FA Cup to return to being the biggest prize in our national game.
Arsenal to be broken up into several smaller entities.
When in doubt, assume the students will let you down. Tossers.
I wonder what percentage of the social media posts on the subject they were responsible for though?
What an absolute shambles social media is this morning. I've seen one comparison of a potential Boris Johnson PM candidacy with the rise of Hitler.
I'm going to write a long, deathly dull post at some point about this but what's happened is there is a total divide between London and England.
Lads.
I didn't think we had a hope of winning, so I'm genuinely surprised.
I'd quite like to see a national government of some description to see through the renegotiation / withdrawal. We won, but 48% of people didn't agree with the decision and you need to bring them on board. Whatever else it is, I do genuinely think it's a win for 'democracy'.
In terms of where it was won, the above seems to have proved quite accurate. The big 'swing' was in the Labour heartlands in the north, north east and the midlands. Labour have lost this for the remain side, and this really is the political equivalent of one sowing the wind and reaping the whirlwind. It's been brewing for years. I reckon they're finished.
So the FTSE is predicted to finish 1pt higher, a first gain since the last week of May.
Surrey voted to Remain. Not sure where this fits into the narrative. Should we declare independence?
Alpha af:
No need, you've just done it in crica 27 words.
It makes you a member of the out-of-touch elite.
I'm just catching up on Twitter from earlier (I didn't look at it all night) and the level of seething is absolutely incredible.
The idea that "the old" have somehow shafted "the young" by refusing to vote the way the latter want them to seems to be particularly prevalent, alongside shouts of SHAME and DISGRACE.
Even if I'd wanted to remain, it would almost have been worth it to see the mask slip with some of these cunts.
Because the Bank of England guranteed them another 250 billion if they experience a downturn. Leaving the EU is saving us a bundle.
You realise 4chan deletes images after an hour, right?Alpha af:
It's the high and might type despite not voting that are tickling me the most.
As they should do. There was always going to be a short-term shock from this, because markets hate uncertainty. The BoE stepping in to provide assurance that the world isn't about to end is what it's there for. The market is trading where it was a few months ago:
Yes, there's been a shock. It was inevitable. But if one refused to do anything on the grounds that there might be some market volatility then you'd be completely fucked. To complete the campaign tour of unacceptable analogies, there were no doubt many people in America who advocated the continuation of slavery on the grounds that the economic systems of southern states would be subject to severe shock and stress.
All of this PANIC narrative from the campaign becomes self-fulfilling, really. It was deeply, deeply irresponsible of the remain side to suggest some of the things they did in this area.
You know really Bush is to blame for all of this.
If he hadn't insisted on invading Iraq, Iraq and Syria wouldn't have become destabilized, this wouldn't have created a refugee crisis, if there wasn't a refugee crisis (combined with subsequent dealings with Turkey for visa-free travel) probably on the margin Remain might have won over enough people to come out on top.

It's your left intellectual liberal elite types again. As if because people haven't voted the correct way, they're somehow evil. There's some fucking extract from an FT article that seems to have appeared about eight times, and it suggests that our pulling out of the EU means that there will be "so many lost opportunities" to live, work, study etc. in 27 other countries. Do they know many people from here going to live in Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Bulgaria, Romania? I doubt it.
I think deep down the psychology has to do with fear and a lack of confidence in being self-sufficient. The EU provided them some sort of emotional security. Srs.
I know of at least seven. Then if we include the people I know who own property over there the number gets into the 20s. Not saying I'm representative but this was just people I met at Swansea uni.
It's very small for everywhere behind what would have been the iron curtain:
Really what they mean is that they can't go and live in the significantly more economically developed areas of western Europe if they fancy it.
EDIT: Scrap that, they've corrected their workings.
Jesus wept.
By contrast, Hedon centre was like Cocoon earlier. All these old people breathing in freedom on their skateboards and breakdancing.
Albarn.
What a sanctimonious prick. Thinks he's fucking Oskar Schindler just because he has hooked up with a refugee Syrian orchestra. Prick.
I wonder how many of those people in shock at Glastonbury actually got off their arses and voted?
