Well, we found it to be just the opposite. We were there at the end of last year.

More and more voters will awaken to the #NeverTrumpers and GOPe’ers as being wholly on the wrong side of Trump, and just about EVERYTHING else that they stand for, and it puts HRC further underwater, and farther behind in historical terms. blub, blub, blub

LOts of decisions. Cameron is now a lame duck PM. Will he activate the EU process for departure in two years? What happens to the EU economy? Will NI want to reunite with the Republic of Ireland? Will Scotland want to have another referendum on leaving the UK? The global stock markets are going bonkers. Will this set off unintended consequences for the global economy? How will this affect our elections? So many questions, so little answers.

Still a glorious night for the nationalists and a defeat for globalism.

well i think now that the vote is over, the issue is what happens in the future, which is a question that is up to the new UK leaders and the prospective new leader of the free world. He does not really have to make a public appearance if it is going to be as bad as you say (though i would imagine that at least some would welcome him).

in particular, it would be a huge potential advantage to trump to be seen rubbing shoulders with UK leaders, even if only unofficial. UK leaders in turn would snub him at their peril if he wins. UK has more to lose from future lack of support from the next US president than vice versa. Meanwhile meeting with UK leaders would demonstrate back in the USA that the attitude of the USA MSM as exemplified by the WP article is in essence total hogwash.

Great Britain voted today to SURVIVE!

We need to do the same.

"Battle of Britain Speech" - Winston Churchill - June 18, 1940

"... What General Weygand has called The Battle of France is over. The battle of Britain is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilisation. Upon it depends our own British life and the long continuity of our institutions and our Empire. The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us. Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of a perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, "This was their finest hour".

History may record today as Britain's second finest hour.

So you’re an adherent to the Clinton-Obama school of foreign policy. What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be on DU cheerleading your heroine?

Juan McCain and Lindsey Graham are also cheerleaders for war with Russia, the usual foreign policy elite suspects who helped to create the Islamic State with their meddling in Libya and Syria.....

The markets are going crazy! I know nothing about trading and Varney's group is saying we are in a downward spiral.

Eveythinbg is down. He said viewers and investors are in panic.

Buy pound now.

It will go UP.


Agreed.

What’s interesting to me is that virtually every major Central Bank has been desperately trying to “Devalue” their currency since 2008/09. And today, out of nowhere and completely by surprise, the UK gets what they and everyone else has been trying to achieve.

Personally, I would wait for a bounce and buy a retest around 1.3500.
