So why is nobody blaming the city sharks for the dramatic crash of the £
Considering they went nuts in order to try and con everyone, including themselves that there was only one possible outcome, on the basis of information, which we can only describe, as being as reliable as a chocolate f**king teapot.
Hilarious to go back to Thursday morning and read the posts on here bigging them up as the soothsayers of the realm, by the way.

In fact this whole thread is an absolute banger.
The £ crashed overnight, whilst markets in the city of London were closed.
It crashed because investors and speculators in other major capital centres such as Tokyo, which were open, realised that the British were a nation of complete feck wits and they needed to.pull their money out. So those holding £ sold them, very few people wanted to buy them, and the value plummeted. That's how it works.

It must feel lonely being the only genius in a village of idiots.
Very naive to think London traders shut up shop at 5pm and start again at 8am in the morning. Trading is a 24 hour business. They would have been trading throughout the night and made massively.

Are you serious they were at it all night mun.
Why did they push the £/equity up so much on information that was totally useless?

Course it is. Its spread betting. Tbf, the press, the media generally, politicians, everyone thought the same.
Hilariously (in this context) some were highly leveraged heavily on their position and got bloodbathed.
On the flipside, Ftse back up to levels it was in April and fx bottomed out about 7. With a bit of luck itll gain a couple of points over the next few weeks.
The real story is the negotiating coming over the next few months. When everyone has calmed down and the dust has settled, the trade deals need to be thrashed out, and EU-funded public sector jobs need to be protected. The migration issue can wait, got a couple of years for that. Stabilise, limit the damage, start to build.

Got up at 5am to find out the result & fell dismayed, angered & disgusted that the Leavers had won - largely, in my opinion, off the back of Middle-aged, ignorant, racist, Little Englanders - the sort of people who can't be arsed to vote in a General Election (too thick to grasp the issues) but have clearly turned out in their tens of thousands once they had the chance to cast their vile little anti-immigration votes.
I work with a lot of people like this - some so dim they thought that immigration from African & Asian countries was somehow in the mix, ffs - who spend half their life muttering darkly in dismal social clubs or talking excrement on Facebook.
Notice Swansea, as opposed to Cardiff, voted out. Not a surprise. Much as I love Swansea, I can always remember when I first moved there in 1979, being genuinely shocked at the casual & virulent racism of loads of people - made all the more ludicrous by the fact that at that time the city was about 99.5% white!
Depressing.

Maybe if the Remain campaign hadn't tarred anyone who believed that leaving was the best thing to do with those same labels they might have won more people over to their cause.
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

I would suggest that it was "leave" who tried to ensure immigration was at the top of the agenda.
Whereas Remain focussed on the economic impact , although in a rather pathetic and obviously ineffectual way.

Yep you deserve all your going to get now you've handed the country over to the right wing of the tiory party, f*cking idiots indeed
Oddly enough, I usually "accuse" my missus of being a Daily Heil reader as she can be a little reactionary and a bit right wing (old school style rather than UKIP style). However, her words this morning were "Britain deserves what it gets from now on" - She's not a happy bunny.

Are people stupid etc for voting out. No as everyone is entitled to their view.
Some will have voted for the effect on themselves Some will have voted for the effect it could have on their family. Some will have voted being anti-Europe Some voted being Anti- Establishment. Some will have voted as they feel British politicians don’t listen to them and this was their chance to give a clear message Yes/No Other reasons as well
What it does look like is that we are in for a period of uncertainty, how long that is who knows but we have “experts” calling the tune. The £ to $ down by 10%. Now to me that is not a professional reaction and expect over the next few days for it to start to recover (when experts actually take in what it could mean) My view, a period of negativity (maybe 10 years) but it could then work out for the best. My views will most likely change over the next few years as reality of the situation becomes clearer one way or the other
All fair points mate but I've one thing to say to it all...
SHORT TERMISM!
The EU is in it's infancy we need to work to improve it and not just smash it up like a petulant child.

"My hosting is indefinite and cannot be taken offline." - WOW you are so naive.
ANY site can be taken down at ANY time. Heard of DDOS? Some of the biggest sites in the world have been taken down this way and your puny little site is no different. a 12 year old script kiddy could take it down in minutes.

Indeed. From the Ashcroft polls:
More than three quarters (77%) of those who voted to remain thought “the decision we make in the referendum could have disastrous consequences for us as a country if we get it wrong”. More than two thirds (69%) of leavers, by contrast, thought the decision “might make us a bit better or worse off as a country, but there probably isn’t much in it either way”.
One third (33%) said the main reason was that leaving “offered the best chance for the UK to regain control over immigration and its own borders.”
For remain voters, the single most important reason for their decision was that “the risks of voting to leave the EU looked too great when it came to things like the economy, jobs and prices” (43%). Just over three in ten (31%) reasoned that remaining would mean the UK having “the best of both worlds”, having access to the EU single market without Schengen or the euro.
