Europeans' opinions on UK's EU Referendum...

This is all small potatoes compared to Trexit (no, not Turkey).

For years, I've spent my time -our time- projecting our move to the Uk.

 

I've done my master degree in England (2014-15) and I was looking to go back there in september/october.

 

The reason why I directly didn't stay there, instead deciding to work for six months in Italy, was that I didn't want to be accused on intellectual dishonesty. There's plenty of mediterranean people that moan about how terrible it is in Italy or Spain despite having never worked there, and just go abroad. I wanted to try first, and then possibly go away.

And maybe, some work experience in Italy would have been beneficial for my cv, to find something better once in the Uk..

 

My girlfriend is a Nigerian citizen with an Italian passport (she came here when she was 6). She couldn't find a job in Italy despite having a degree with great marks because apparently she's too brown for a lot of peoples' taste.

So she decided to go and work for a year in Thailand (she does like to work, we don't give a sh*t about getting benefits etc etc). SO we basically waited each other...she would end her year in september, my contract would expire in september, and i the Uk together we'd go.

 

Far from all the racists, far from Berlusconi and Renzi, far from our families that do not want us to see each other because of the colour of the skin, happy to work for England and pay our taxes there.

Now everything is in peril: my industry is tourism, the one that will likely be damaged the most by this horrific outcome. How come is a tour operator/travel agency going to employ an italian/spanish/german/portuguese speaker if international tourism will plummet? (Yes, I speak 5 different languages contrarily to the Sun-reading, ManUnited-supporting fascists that voted leave)

 

You never had to worry about going to leave in another country, you never did: you soon will have to.

 

And this dream was obliterated by this band of prostate-farting old retards that yearn for the empire wheraes they will be dead before brexit becomes a reality

You killed both our lives and I hope to see the Uk turned into a barren, poverty stricken landscape, I will hate you forever, enjoy your holidays in Blackpool

 

We're going to Ireland, b*****ds 

If this means a ban or a warning, I don't care

Viva la libertà!

There you have my opinion on the Uk referendum

Make Britain Great Again

Well I worked all day yesterday at my local Polling Station (Try it! If you don't think you'll like the outcome look into Poll Clerk work, it sweetens the pill!) and I think we had about 7 or 10 people who bought a pen!
Look, after all the results are counted they are put into a sack which can only be opened on the orders of a Judge, so the idea of rubbing out results on an industrial scale are ludicrous!
Anyway, some people on my Facebook are inconsolable over this.
I wish the EU well, would of been great if we could of worked together better, but this wasn't to be.
And should France, Sweden, the Netherlands and Italy decide on their own referendums don't rely on fear!

And the irony of the people who used pens yesterday was wasted as my area was one of the few to unanimously vote for "Remain"!
Well it made me laugh and let's face it, we could do with some of that today.

No, it won't. It really won't. In the short term, it means being governed by a bunch of metropolitan tosspots in London rather than Brussels. The real test is when someone comes along to challenge properly the political consensus run by said metropolitan tosspots. Then it will become very interesting. In fact, I welcome very much the fact that all bets are off, and suddenly politics has become dynamic and interesting again. All possibilities are now open.

A lesson from yesterday. For the first time in many years, every single vote counted. Every single one, without fear or favour, and the people of the country voted in their droves to celebrate that fact, whether you agree with the result, or not. What a refreshing thing, eh? How we could properly transform our politics and country if every single election or vote carried as much weight. When it did, the people, by a clear majority, took the opportunity to deliver a massive great big raspberry to our ruling establishment. Two fingers up, and sod the consequences.

As a libertarian, and former political activist of many years standing, I welcome that with great big open arms. It's called democracy in action, and it is a wonderful thing.

I've got to know many british people, some of whom I consider true friends, on the other hand today I'd quite fancy seeing the Uk face the destiny of Atlantis The best way I can define this referendum is "an ill-advised excess of democracy"  We should call back all our cooks, then after 3 months you'll be crying to get back in again

I'm sorry, Luca, but wishing us the destiny of Atlantis is way over the top, sorry.

My father's family is Maltese. I have visited Italy on a couple of occasions. I was born in West Germany, albeit when my father was serving in the British Army there.

I love Europe. I am exceptionally proud of my family heritage, and will be going back there again on family holiday in August. I adore Italian history and culture. Great Britain can still learn a great deal from European culture, especially that of the southern part of the continent. I wish nothing but the best for all peoples of all nations.

That does not mean that I, or many people in this country, want to share the same government as you. I am afraid that the mistake that many people who backed Remain made is that a vote to come out, and concern over numbers of inward migration into the country, is to equate that with racism. The vast majority of people are not racist. Like me, they want us all to get along in peace and harmony.

I'm quite amused by the result.
You may not like your life support machine, but it's a bit foolish to switch it off.

The Brexit may take place again on a smaller scale in the UK. Maybe there will be a Scexit and a Nexit for the UK. Then the United Kingdom will turn into Dissected Kingdom.

Poor Winston must be rolling over.
