I think it's a courageous move for the people of the UK, regardless of how the vote would've gone the UK will survive, grow and become a better Country - just one Kiwi's perspective.

Personally I think it great and agree with Boris Johnson100 % with his views. I live in Lithuania and so with the GBP falling I now lose over
100 USD per month from my pension !!!

If you want to see my opinion Mike, please read my blog!! What I think is too long to write here!! Stupid, Shortsighted, Blinkered Britain! Black Friday Indeed!

Historically, the UK has never been 'part' of Europe. She has fought many wars with, and for, many countries therein, but has truly not been a part of the Continent.
I mean Britannia 'ruled the waves' long before the rest of Europe got on the colonization bandwagon. At its most massive, under Queen Victoria, the British Empire controlled better than a third of the world's population and fully 40% of the landmass.
So, I'm not surprised that they chose to go it alone. I WILL affect certain things, like you say, but I feel that it will be better for the Brits in the long run. They don't have to stay under the strictures of the Euro Community's rules concerning pricing and trade. I am waiting for the morning news right now and I want to see where the London FT Exchange sits.

Ooh, you're on thin ice starting a topic about this.

To quote Kyle's rules which are provided (via a link) when you post here:

"Keep religion and politics out of your posts. Everyone comes from different walks of life and you know how fired up people can get about these topics. It is best to stay away from posts like this for the better nature of the community."

I am in Scotland and have lived in England in various places so I can understand the vote to leave, and as Mark says we will get on with it

We'll see what happens.
Pretty sure my company will consider moving their branches in England to a country in the EU.
We have people working here from all over the world and it was easy until now to get a visa for almost everybody.
If this gets more complicated now, they might take action.

But a bit too early to know what will happen.

Quite like this image here, though.

Shame :(

Hi - I'm in Scotland.

We do business all over the world - so perhaps naively I don't see a business issue with it - if you still want to buy Whisky from Scotland, you will. If I still want to order snowglobes from China (which I am) then I will.

The EU is one small part of the countries of the world - being in it or out of it won't stop us trading with America, Canada, South America, Africa, Japan etc etc etc etc.

To me, it's more political - and I don't think it will affect us as much as the initial panic that seemed to follow the announcement.

Cheers, Mark
