Yeah I'm stunned. And now Cameron has resigned. This is a crazy day.
Huh?
GG what the fuck is going on? What are you guys doing?!
Today UK celebrates its Independence Day with a 52% vote. INdependence day 2 has a tomato score of 52%. Not a coincidence.
Unfortunately they were run by dick bags and everyone hated working there so... Well it was destined to not happen.
Wait, are we still talking about the EU and the UK or not?
I'm all for being efficient. It can apply to both.
See that UK? That's how you create extra value! If you were better at that you wouldn't feel the need to leave the EU.
Not to me at all. There are plenty of PC services that do the same thing with games just as new or sought after, but at the end of the day I'd rather save the $4 a month or so for a game I actually want. Especially during times like this in the summer sale.

I'm stunned you know who Cameron is.
I was shocked this morning. I felt sympathy for the leave side but I voted remain as did ALL of London because of all the risk involved. I'm pretty shocked by it all and no one seems to know what happens next. The pound has plummeted.
I think from a British point of view, we absolutely hate being told what to do by other people/countries. And the more these international organisations or foreign leaders weighed in, especially the warnings from EU ministers that they would basically screw us over if we left just backfired spectacularly. We were warned of Armageddon if we left, literally of World War 3. Fuck that - voters thought.
Merkel wouldn't budge on freedom of movement and the refugee crisis and new eastern european states are coming in, crossed with the potential of Turkey joining etc. In the past decade or so the level of Eastern European immigration has jumped here and there are more and more foreigners on the streets. Not a bad thing per se but as someone who was born and bred here (from immigrants) you do feel the change from the place you grew up to how it is now. It can make you feel alienated when 8 out of 10 people are speaking some foreign language you don't understand. Muslims are content to mostly live separate lives (according to a survey by the Equality Commission)
And they there are the pressures on doctors, schools etc, can't get a school place, can't get a doctors appointment was huge for me. Housing is huge, too many people not enough houses. It's more about numbers than races, the EU essentially have infinite immigration. There is no limit, no number at all.
Britain also has this pride, perhaps overstated from the Empire days and colonialism -and unlike some of the other colonial powers we mostly left on good terms with a lot of countries and have traded and dealt with countries on the other side of the world who are still part of the Commonwealth. You have America and Austrailia which were former British colonies.
Language is a huge factor, although we had freedom to work and live anywhere in the EU, because English is so widely spoken around the world we do not grow up learning new languages and even when we do, we rarely have the opportunity to use it. Whereas other countries in Europe, English is the most widely spoken second language in the world. So for us, it kinda felt unfair that so many abroad could take advantage of their English speaking skills to come here and live and get the economic benefits of living in Britain when we felt locked out of doing the same abroad. You can even see people here, from other countries, you speak good English. So we had this mass of Polish immigration and paired with already high immigration from the rest of the world too. I think some saw the numbers which are the highest immigration numbers on record this year - if it continued at the level you would be looking at a transformation of the country in the long term.
Also the UK is one of the few if only? countries in the EU which is actually physically detached from the mainland. I guess we've always felt different? In a misplaced sense of pride I guess?
There's no way I am selling my Wii U because I am hoping the controller will work on NX so I still get offscreen play etc.
You dare say this before facing me on Splatoon?
You don't understand, the fearmongering was from the Remain side. Their whole campaign was about how everything would turn to shit if we left and how jobs would be lost, the economy would tank, inflation would rise, how there would be World War 3. They even claimed there was be more immigration if we were outside the EU.
From a British perspective we were kinda pissed how Merkel and Hollande seemed to dominate the EU. We are suppossed to be a group of 28 countries so how Germany and France managed to dominate things so much was offputting and weird. Basically when Cameron went to renegotiate Britains terms with the EU, if the EU had just buckled on freedom of movement everything would have been fine.
I'm sure that your fellow Brits will be very happy when construction prices rise 20% because your fellow countrymen don't want to work for the same wages as the Polish do. As for the language barrier, not being willing to learn foreign languages is just laziness. There was a Brittish woman on the radio today who spoke very fluent Flemish. And we're being overrun by Polish people and Roemanins as well. Seems they manage to pick up botched Flemish as fast as they can pick up botched English. My guess is that the 'Leave' vote was mostly inspired by the lower class feeling left behind, both by Brittish and EU governement. It was a protest vote. Referendums have a nasty habbit of turning out in favour for the negative option.
Yeah I'm surprised that the Leave side won. I knew that it would be close but I really thought that it would be in favour of Remain.
Devil's Third multiplayer being shut down? NOOOOOOOOOO!!! Say it ain't so!
I still don't understand the point of all this. Why woudl they leave?Britain has full control over their own currency already.

Everything you described the PSN can do, lol.
Next trump becomes president and the world is really screwed

We're not building enough homes as it is and immigration that is too high has pushed up rent and house prices out of the reach of your average Brit. Especially here in the capital. We've actually been warned that house prices will fall, which is a good thing for many young people who cannot get onto the housing ladder.
Yes that's a part of it. But you don't live here, haven't grown up here and don't really understand the mindset or the issues that people here feel have impacted their lives; so I would go easy on the reaching out for easy conclusions. I voted Remain, but I can see why a lot of people didn't.
It's not just about currency. There is a broad political union and a push for more integration too. I think most people here just didn't like being told by other people outside the country - what to do. The idea of having un-elected bureaucrats making rules we were forced to implement just sticks in their craw. And getting change in the EU was like getting 27 other states to all turn their nuclear keys at the same time.
We broadly have two major polical parties here and the way democracy works is that you vote out the one you don't like and the other party implements change. So we have had a Labour govt that signs up to all sorts of EU rules, then 4 years later we have a Conservative govt and they can't undo what the Labour govt signed up to, without 27 other countries saying they can do it. Which hardly ever happens. People on the Remain camp said being in we have a voice, but you actually have 1/28th of a vote.
Then there is the £277 million-ish amount per week we had to pay to be a member, which went to other states. We actually gave £350 million a week but got some back -with the caveat that we had no say in how the EU used our own money in our own country. The rest of the money, £277 million was given to other states one would assume. Then there is freedom of movement in the EU, which doesn't just mean you can travel anywhere in the EU, but that there is essentially infinite immigration and there is nothing you can do to control or restrict it. Imagine this happened in American or Canada where you were part of a large bloc of America and or South American countries and anyone could up sticks and live wherever they wanted. In utopian ideals it sounds great, but imagine the sort of issues that brings about as you have more afflent vs weaker economies and people with different values.
Imagine the pressure on public services.
You certainly seem less biased than everyone else I've talked about the issue gamingeek. Everyone else says "Lol they're racist and just want to leave because they are stupid, it's nothing but benefits if we remain!"

It's time for the Queen to grab true power and rule with an iron fist while drawing the common folk close to her warm breast to supple on her teet.
Because things will be so great with politically correct Hillary in charge....who will do or say anything just to look good.
She wasn't good enough for Bill & she's not good enough for me.
