Creeps like Nigel Farage hoodwinked England by using fear and lies to win a vote to force England to leave the EU.
Britain has voted to leave the European Union, a historic decision sure to reshape the nation’s place in the world, rattle the Continent and rock political establishments throughout the West.
Not long after the vote tally was completed, Prime Minister David Cameron, who led the campaign to remain in the bloc, appeared in front of 10 Downing Street on Friday morning to announce that he planned to step down by October, saying the country deserved a leader committed to carrying out the will of the people.
The stunning turn of events was accompanied by a plunge in the financial markets, with the value of the British pound and stock prices plummeting.
Since the vote was cast, Bloomberg reported, "By almost every economic and financial measure, parting ways with the EU almost eight years ago has been disastrous for the UK."
Public support for Brexit has dwindled since the 52%-48% leave vote in the 2016 referendum. Polling by YouGov earlier this year found only 30% of Britons now think it was right for the UK to vote to leave the EU, versus 55% who say it was wrong. The majority support closer relations with Brussels.
More than six in 10 (62%) reckon Brexit has gone badly, including about a third of leave voters. A majority believe leaving has damaged the economy, UK trade and the cost of living.
Open thread away.
