Meanwhile we have to do some serious thinking about how to get out of the hole people like you chose to dig us into.

I asked a bloke in sainsburys just now who was buying a euromillions ticket whether he voted leave. He said he did, then what he was doing dawned on him.

New markets opening up equals more sales and more jobs. The economy will adjust, that's if it even has to that much, we will find our balance with all economic variables considered. This country has survived wars, recessions and catastrophes. Man up.

It isn't called democracy for my 17 year old. Or for the Scots. My daughter tells me that the proportion of over 65s that voted out was very high. As they are the generation with Defined Benefit pensions, lots of them had little to lose. Whereas the proportion of younger people voting out was low. Yet again young people pick up the pieces from the selfishness of the old. If we were going to gamble with their future, the least we could have done is allowed 16 year olds, who tend to be pretty well informed, to vote. You are on a wind up right? You are bitter because you lost. I am delighted for my kids that we are out and I suggest you stop whining about it and move on.

Matt, I am f*cked. How do you think I will feel? I am less bothered about me, I do care for the coming generation which already has to support the unsustainable weight of the earlier generations. I do not accept the case for the status quo wasn't strong enough, that will become clear as our future unfolds. We just had sh*t politicians who failed to explain the real issues and who didn't understand the depth of disenfranchisement of so many people. Those who were in a good position to know the likely effects but still chose to pursue this path need to carry the burden. Some did it for personal gain, some because of the excitement of the risk. But they knew they were gambling with the future of my children. They did not have that right. Look at how the young people voted, they didn't want to gamble because they had more to lose. And by the way, boasting about making a pile of money out of the misery of others didn't play well. I appreciate the implied positive comment on my normal postings, even if we don't always see eye to eye. And I blame Corbyn more than Cameron for the campaign, but Cameron for starting this whole hare running for his own political expediency. Melodramatic. We voted leave for generations to come, not for the next few years. You have a point about boasting over the profit from speculating but all Hoof did was take money off other speculators. Don't for one minute think that a hedge fund, pension fund or portfolio was long at the high of the FTSE, shares or £. Not a f***ing chance. They would've liquidated or been in different positions. £65 billion was moved out of UK shares etc very recently for a start. But you won't be told about the trading in between the start and final price. Edited by Rudi Hedman (24 Jun 2016 6.22pm)

As far as i am aware you have always been able to buy foreign lottery tickets or bet on foreign events. I thought the vote was to leave the european union and that only. By your logic England, Wales and Norn Iron should come home from euro 16 immediately, and Leicester will be pissed off not being allowed into the champions league. Lots of hissy fits, sulks and woe is me and its all your fault from a lot remain voters. Its not even been a day yet. Bit like losing the first match of the season and throwing away your season ticket because we are bound to be relegated.

However, the winner is Sir Nigel Farage, who I voted for at the last election. He has proved that he, and only he, is the only leader of a major political party who is aligned with the people. Have to agree with you on Cameron front. Do posters think that what we are arguably seeing is a rise against The Establishment with classic misjudgment of public feeling by main parties? Have to say that I now think that Corbyn is in serious trouble as well given lackadaisical approach to REMAIN campaign. Where next for Farage given that he has pretty much achieved his goal?
