Donât come here, if for no other reason that Brexit somehow took out the value of the AUD as well.
EDIT: Not to mention that Aus has many of the same âno immgration at all costs!â attitudesâŚ

I think the EU will be fine, one way or another; itâs not as if theyâre so brittle they cannot reorganize themselvesâŚthe UK, much less so.
And what about all those smart people who still want to be EU citizens?
Are they just left out in the cold now?
Is this realistic though? Wanting to remain in the EU is not the same thing as wanting to leave the UK. The independence referendum was just two years ago and decidedly for staying.
Xenophobia, suspicion, prejudice & similar paranoias donât thrive as well when your kids go to school with the others, and you have regular, human interactions with them as workmates, customers, or even employers.
Not that stereotypes and prejudices are automatically dissolved by this alone - there is also a saturation point where over-populous insular subcultures and sub-communities of âoutsidersâ create and earn their own arguably negative reputation.
But I think there is a large sweet spot between fear-of-the-unknown and fear-of-dispossession, where genuine integration and acceptance can occur, over time.

Options are narrowing.
I can grandparent myself an Irish passport (EU Irish that is!) but not my kids. Balls.
Clusterfuck of epic proportions.
I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit.
Your areaâs Polish population (unless they have taken British citizenship) wouldnât have been able to vote. As far as I know, while Britainâs pre-EU Polish community descended from WW2 refugees (and Polish military personnel who fought for the Allies and didnât go back after the Communists took over) are mostly British citizens, Poles who came after Poland joined the EU mostly arenât.
If Scotland has another referendum to leave the UK, I would completely understand. Nomreason why they should be dragged away from Europe by England.
England would end up surrounded by the EU. Could this lead to armed conflict over natural resources?

I guess they can watch John Oliverâs Brexit segment now.
"As Britain gears up to vote in the EU referendum later this week, broadcasters are constantly working to ensure their coverage remains impartial. One such company is Sky, which has this week been forced to delay the latest instalment of John Oliverâs Last Week Tonight HBO show. Why? Because it contains a 15-minute diatribe on why the UK should remain part of Europe.
Instead of airing the programme after Game of Thrones on Sky Atlantic on Monday night, like it does usually, Sky has pushed it back until 10:10pm on Thursday, just after the polls close. Social media users are up in arms about the decision, but in reality, Sky appears to be playing everything by the book."

Hoo-fucking-ray.
I suggest a move to Scotland is advisable.

oops, I missed this part.
Though it seems unlikely that the UK will get more time. Longer negotiations are bad news for the rest of the EU, the current system has problems and with the UK half in and half out no one can begin a reinvention process.

It was fairly close, and the strong repudiation of Labour in favour of the SNP since has made the position in Scotland quite clear.

My German in-laws were crowing about it this morning - with the sort of barely coherent rants that are one step away from âItâs the Jews!â. Germany should be afraid - there is a huge amount of fucking insane fascist sentiment bubbling under the surface there.
