cremeegg I wouldn't intend to live in Ireland but it would presume my rights as EU citizen. E.g freedom of movement.

The sun will come up, the kids will still want breakfast, the world will keep turning. Life will go on.

I Won't worry, the UK will remain in Europe as it should.

Do you have a crystal ball?

LunaLoveg00d · 19/06/2016 22:59

Steel myself for another 2 years of the loathsome SNP campaigning for a second referendum on Scottish independence, without realising that vast numbers of Scots would prefer to be in the UK and out of the EU rather than in the EU and out of the UK.

NameChanger22 · 19/06/2016 23:04

I am voting remain. I would be worried and disappointed. I'd probably have to look for another job within the year. I'd question what I'm doing in the UK and look for possible ways to leave.

2nds · 19/06/2016 23:05

Wasps I don't need a crystal ball, it will remain.

Celticlassie · 19/06/2016 23:05

I'd be concerned about a Tory government unencumbered with employment rights, unions etc, working hard to make life harder for poorer people. I'm very worried about being in a country where Boris is PM. For the first time in my life I've considered emigrating. And I love my country very much.

WhatsGoingOnEh · 19/06/2016 23:10

this.

I'm 100% Leave, but I think we'll stay.

WaspsandBeesSting · 19/06/2016 23:12

What like everyone was so sure Labour was going to win the GE?

Do you know something everyone else doesn't?

MangosteenSoda · 19/06/2016 23:14

I'd feel very worried and afraid for the future of the UK but I would accept it because that's democracy.

The country will be hugely divided either way, but in a Brexit scenario, a hugely divided country on the road into a recession will be a very sad place indeed.

LaBelleOtero · 19/06/2016 23:17

As we've been told repeatedly, it's 'advisory'. It's not like the government will have to get the ball rolling the day a Leave win. They could drag it on for years. Actually, they don't have to get the ball rolling at all, but if it's an overwhelming Leave vote they'd need pretty thick hides to ignore it. Oh wait, they have those...

Chris1234567890 · 20/06/2016 00:15

Celebrate democracy at work. Oh then get a t-shirt saying, 'don't blame me, I voted leave'.

annandale · 20/06/2016 00:28

Feel ashamed of my country and my Prime Minister.

Take flowers to my Spanish friend who is feeling pretty outraged and unloved at the polls given the amount she has put into the British economy and this community.

Go to work and talk to all the EU citizens at work who will be feeling unsettled, pissed off, scared, ready to leave.

YokoUhOh · 20/06/2016 00:48

Like PPs

  • Apply for Irish citizenship
  • Look into moving to France/Germany/NZ/Canada
  • Panic
Chris1234567890 · 20/06/2016 00:59

Why the flowers for your Spanish friend? They, like the French (whose wealthy and 'brightest and best' are leaving France by the bus load daily) like the Dutch etc etc etc (even the Germans) are all desperate for their own referendum on the issue? So many people, and so few have been consulted.

annandale · 20/06/2016 01:00

Chris; she is not 'they', she is a person, who is feeling suddenly as if she is not welcome in her home. Likewise, i fully accept that there are rational reasons to vote leave but I will still feel ashamed if it happens.

BestIsWest · 20/06/2016 01:04

I understand anna. I have a friend from another EU nation who has lived in the UK for 60 years, raised her family, paid taxes here and that is how she feels as well.

MyLlamasGoneBananas · 20/06/2016 01:12

Not much. Whether we remain or vote to leave nothing will change for ages.
I'm hoping the sun's out on Friday as the news breaks (I plan an early night Thursday ) cos I intend to spend the day gardening and opening the bottle of pimms in my fridge!

bkgirl · 20/06/2016 01:14

I will think of ways for my children to be unsuitable for national service or conscription into Junckers Euro army :( Look at these if you doubt it...

Chris1234567890 · 20/06/2016 02:07

Anna, my apologies for not referring to the entire Spanish nations population by their first names Confused (can I say "their" first name......) what a ridiculous point of offence!

Best, (and indeed Anna) how on earth do you think your friends will be impacted? As Best has pointed out, her friend has been here for 60 years, way way way longer than this whole EU experiment. He/she will be entitled to settle just as they (uh oh there's that offensive word again) were able to before the EU ever existed. We did indeed manage very well pre EU, heavens even I enjoyed French exchange trips etc etc (referring to my natural cynical miserable state) why oh why are the remains so incendiary with the whole 'all our borders will be closed and you'll be kicked out' rubbish? No they won't and no they won't.

When do you guys think the EU came into existence?

Chris1234567890 · 20/06/2016 02:17

Oh and could you answer my point about Frexit, czexit, Spexit, Gexit etc the whole EU zone is on the verge of folding like a pack of cards and yet it's the UK who are the racist bunch? The EU vote has nothing to do with race, and everything to do with economics and governance. We can only afford what we can afford, and open borders is one thing we can't afford. So so tired of the racism accusations...... ( isn't there a thread on that)

Back to the OP, celebrate democracy.

CoolforKittyCats · 20/06/2016 05:05

I understand anna. I have a friend from another EU nation who has lived in the UK for 60 years

Wasn't your friend here before we were even part of the EU in the first place then?

BestIsWest · 20/06/2016 05:47

Yes of course she was, doesn't stop her feeling unwelcome now and I do realise she won't be deported on Friday. I'm well old enough to remember the UK pre EU myself. I'm just trying to express one of the many ways in which this whole thing is divisive. I think there will be an awful lot of bitterness on both sides, no matter the result and despite dmocracy.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 20/06/2016 06:12

I'll probably be tired and emotional as I'm planning to stay up on Thursday night.

I don't know. Try snd analyse the should thing.

Then mentally shrug snd get on with my life. And adjust to having to vote for UKIP ever more.
