...That will only hurt the most economically at risk: Pensioners, working poor, etc. The "rich" will take a hit and recover over time.
The "Leave" vote was predominately older English people. Scotland and Northern Ireland voted overwhelmingly to stay. The Scots hardly consider this a "victory", they see it as another English slap in the face. The entire country of Scotland in every county, voted to stay and it didn't matter.
The Leave campaign has instantly thrown the entire UK into recession and it is the working man and the retired OAP that will be hurt the worst.

I'm really struggling to understand Cameron's actions the more I think about it

> Campaign to stay in the EU
> Lose your own Referendum
is the man an idiot?
I do not understand a no confidence vote in Jeremy Corbyn.
Two Labour MPs have submitted a motion of no confidence in Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. Dame Margaret Hodge and Ann Coffey confirmed the move in a letter to the Parliamentary Labour Party chairman. The motion has no formal constitutional force but calls for a discussion at their next PLP meeting on Monday. It will be up to the PLP chairman to decide whether it is debated. If accepted it would be followed by a secret ballot of Labour MPs on Tuesday.

RBS shares off 35%, biggest ever drop in the Pound, FTSE down almost 9% already, Scotland and NI calling to cleave the UK apart to be part of the EU either as part of a united Ireland or an independent Scotland.
What is the good news about this again?
