nstability of the EU is a pretty big deal. It will not be business as usual. Other nations may follow. The terms of Britains exit still need to be hashed out. The decisions in the next couple of weeks/months/years will be momentous for business. What will happen is that the EU will end up being split between north and south. In fact, we could end up with three "unions" in Europe: one with the Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden and possibly the Baltic states), one with the northern park of Europe (Germany, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Poland, Austria, Czech Republic and Slovakia) and one with the southern park of Europe (Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece and other remaining EU countries).

I find this hillarious that they have this reaction when it will be years before this happens.

The other blessing - it is by more than a million votes, more than fraud could wipe out.

I think France will leave before the Netherlands. Although I heard that the EU is going to pass laws to prevent this from happening in other countries. The laws will ban leaving. I heard that tonight on the news.

May God do the same for Trump. He is going to need it to combat the fraud

Good for Britain. God save the Queen! The Queen has been for Brexit for months. Either she has better pollsters than the pros, or she isn't the NWO figurehead many believe.

We live in interesting times. Those of you who have a favorite stock, this may be the time to buy in. Then again, maybe not. ; )

It does not appear to be good for Britain, the pound is crashing and they will likely go into recession.
This is not good for the UK?
Begs the question, would you take money in exchange for your freedom and independence?

This has really upset the balance of power for the globalists’ machinations, esp if other countries decide to follow. The “powers that be” may decide that this is a good time for a war with Russia..something to give the people a reason to rally behind a unified Europe.

This is very good news for England and Scotland. The run-amok Islamicism and Islamic immigration, and EU intrusion into daily affairs and life management, was too much for the citizens to take any more. If Boris Johnson replaces Cameron, the UK may finally reverse its Muslim invasion.

To: NRx
Looks like the UK is fed up with the elites...want to secure their borders...sounds familier.
GO TRUMP!

"S and P futures halted limit down. Where is the bottom ?"
Yes, limit-down rule in effect. No way to tell, unless it has to be stopped tomorrow, too.
