How England might have just really screwed themselves

[edhopper]

Brexit leads to Scotland and N. Ireland independence and rejoining the EU (N. Ireland becomes part of Ireland).
Manufactures and Banks leave England for those countries for better access to the EU.
England loses jobs and money. Welcome to the shrinking economy you just voted for.

1. I would put money on N. Ireland aligning with

Scotland before Eire.

2. Scotland and Ireland as a whole. The golf will be epic.

5. Soccer, too. And think of the rugby!

3. That could be

but the result for England would be the same.

4. Now that would be awesome! Talk about karma.

6. Believe England is a large importer

of goods and their exports are very small. Remember,off shoring started with these Guys our Country jumped on board when they saw how to wipe out organized Labor and adopt Trickle down economic model.

7. And with the pound in freefall

imports will be more expensive. Add that they aren't tariff free now, the English people will have to dig deeper for their stuff.

Still screwed.

10. Major effort underway to

salvage Rolls-Royce Industries and other Industries tied to AirBus . Can't imagine the hit the Cook Travel Company is taking,their are the largest in the world.

8. I read that many who voted are panic-googling about it today

They voted before they knew what the real consequences would be. In other words, with all the information coming out today many people are regretting their votes yesterday.
I have always supported the get out to vote movement, but I am afraid that we need a "vote informed" movement instead.
Wow, just wow. Everyone has to live with the consequences of stupid people voting.

9. Yep
