Oh shit!


from Quartz...
The United Kingdom has voted to leave the European Union, a shock result that is roiling financial markets and will leave many in Europe waking up to a radically changed state of the world. For starters, the election’s results will strengthen the position of political parties looking to redraw the map of the United Kingdom.Within minutes of the Brexit vote decision, the Scottish National Party issued a statementsaying it “sees its future in Europe,” suggesting the likelihood of another referendum on leaving the UK. Similarly, Northern Ireland’s Sinn Fein party called for a referendum on Irish reunification.

In the Sandlands they speak of 'panic'...

from Gulf News...
"Britain has voted to break out of the European Union, national media declared Friday, striking a thunderous blow against the bloc and spreading panic through world markets."


from The Scotsman...
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said: “Scotland has delivered a strong, unequivocal vote to remain in the EU, and I welcome that endorsement of our European status. And while the overall result remains to be declared, the vote here makes clear that the people of Scotland see their future as part of the European Union." Every Scottish area voted in favour of Remain last night, with 62% of people in favour staying in the EU.
