Well, for years people have been asking me why I emigrated and I struggled to get across to them how up their own asses English people are and how they still think the UK is important and act as though they still have an Empire...

...well that won't be a problem to get across anymore.

Bollox, its a victory for democracy, its a victory of rationalism, it's not only celebration of independence it's a dawning of a new age of enlightenment.

Yeah when I think of Nigel Farage I always think of "enlightenment". Absolutely. :unsure:

They've just had Neil cash-for-questions Hamilton on the BBC who is a Welsh UKIP MLA or something.

These are the people that the UK has now put itself in the hands of. A monster twat and a known liar.

Who exactly is going to negotiate this new treaty with the EU, Boris Johnson and Michael Gove?

I just woke to the 4.00am news on CBC radio.

Since I woke up yesterday morning (at a more civilised hour) the fall in the pound has already taken $60 a month from my pension.

Not even a day yet.

Low turn out in Scotland was a let down for the remains, higher than average turn out in England pushed it thru with a million to spare

It was nice to see such a high turnout though, at least every vote counts unlike our horrendous electoral system.

In parts....it could hardly be called a sweeping majority. This is bloody idiotic, a full blown disaster...how very, very sad.

I think my personal plan to leave the UK to Canada is perfect timing
(apart from the pound going down)

Mmmmm so over 17 million voted to Leave so are they all thickos?
Why is it sad? And this affects you how as you are now living in Canada?

Take a look at the map Oink posted and just look at the English portion of it and you will see the answer.
BTW who called the referendum? Heres a clue he just resigned.

If you take Scotland and NI out of the equation then it becomes a massive landslide for England
