        Next think I know you'll be telling me how shocked you were you couldn't go to Spain for holiday without a visa.

        I suppose I should be thankful, I can now enjoy the streets of Munich without those drunken hen/stag weekends.

          Most likely replacement is probably T. May. Boris is too much of a loose cannon ball.
          I want Osbourne to go, and soon, but bet the slimey sh*t sticks around

            Don't you think you should have asked those questions before the vote?

            You'll now join the 'all passports' queue at the airport. A visa for holidays in the EU (that'll cost you). Flights to the EU will become more expensive (as £ crashes).

            Yes a lot will change.

              It *should* send a seismic shock through not only the UK political establishment but also throughout the EU.

              The English working class have been vilified in the press for decades, marginalised, taken the brunt of unrestricted migration and been called "Racist" if they ever raised a concern.

              They've been given a golden opportunity to kick the establishment hard in the nuts. And they've taken it.

              This is why you have the NE voting to leave and posh Islington voting to remain.

              And as it turned out there were more people who felt they got nothing from the current set-up than those who feel they benefited.

              Europe usually needed a war to reshape it's politics. Now there's a great opportunity to do so without bloodshed. Let's hope they take it.

                Then you should consider a move to Scotland. Help us build the wall.

                      I'm no fan of Cameron, but don't much like the look of the alternatives either.

                      IMO, he should have called the referendum, then left others to do the campaigning. He's made his own position untenable.
