The £ is taking a huge hit, some are making some big money in the markets tonight off the back of this.

They have relatively low direct taxation, so you do get more disposable income. The problem is, you need to dispose of a hell of a lot of it!

Trust me, you're better off in the UK!

Yes, that was (is!) mad.

It literally plummeted 5 cents the moment that Sunderland vote came in! Can't believe how instantaneous that was. Nuts.

Undecided voters don't tend to vote in the end.

Day to day items maybe 25-50% higher! Housing (rent or buy) around 500% higher! I don't know about you, but I know where the majority of my wages goes and its not on the weekly shopping bill!

Oddly though, Fuel is actually cheaper!

3.42AM and looks like Leave will get over the line.
Scotland and London have distorted the general feeling of the union.

Farage doing a 180 and making a victory speech for OUT......already!

A shade early methinks (albeit it's looking very much like OUT by around a c.2-3% swing, when it all shakes out).

In any case, I'll be watching right to the end (as I have done all night).

As speculators hedge, the quid plummets to its lowest level......since 1985!!

Of course, it's a transient thing, though.

Lol, the masked slipped slightly

As I said this is not really about democracy it is and was always about power

I suspect most of the people who feel "powerful" today won't in couple of months / years

I don't believe that.
It's all about excessive immigration and not only from the EU

I was feeling quite morose last night. Well its looking like we're moving to Germany, If that happens, I don't mind at all

Despite the Government literally throwing everything at this Remain campaign, it has utterly mis-read the majority of peoples concerns and will now have to adhere to their will.

Perceived threat of more immigration.

Still we can now spend all our time and money reaching out to the rest of the world

May buy some gold shares at 8:15 . If it opens at all

The poind to dollar was $1.42 to the pound on the 20th, it rose to 1.50 then dropped, so in reality its dropped 7cents,
