The UK(perhaps just England and wales) going back cap in hand to the EU, then having to accept Shengen, the Euro and what ever else is happening by then...

It all depends on whoever takes the lead in government. The wrong one will screw it, the right one will be the right one.
FWIW I don't trust anyone to do it. (but there again, I haven't trusted any of them for years)

There will be a new normal. Some people will be better off, some worse, most about the same.

The EU will no longer be as we know it now.

Any disasters/huge leaps forward will not be linked to this decision.

There may well be no EU, just European countries carrying on as normal, trading with each other & getting along hunky dory. It's not beyond the realms of possibility.

After another decade of being bullshitted to by politicians, the British public will see the light and there will be a bloody revolution.
Or, we'll all carry on being bent over, while everyone blames foreigners for the country's problems.

Perhaps we could find ourselves in a new political dawn, with true democratic accountability of those we elect and a genuine quasi-socialist "for the people" political party.....

Oh hang on.........that was me daydreaming yet again. 😉

But that money is going to the NHS!

No, the money going to the NHS was imaginary money. They just realised today.

no all the money just went down the pan with £200 billion lost from UK stocks and the BoE having to bail everyone out...

Maybe we can do a deal with the rest of the world that we will build massive prisons (built with chinese money) and house all the worlds criminals in exchange for them sending us bread and water to live off. We can also re-open all the mines so the northerners and welsh can go back to work in them like they have been banging on about for the last couple of decades. 😉

in 10 years will be all sorted out and we will slowly be getting back on track. Electric self driving cars will be the norm. As will E-bikes. The EU will either be fine or decimated and we will still be fighting IS and probably have some horrendous border controls to try and deal with it.

Much the same as now. The rich will get richer, the poor will be blaming everyone and the middle will just continue to manage fine.
The eu will have broken up to the extent of a core fully integrated group and the rest being a further trading bloc.
China and India will own all our arse's. And America will have had a civil war once trump gets in

The UK will continue in its quest to become the world's biggest tax haven, aided by Scotland leaving and giving England the choice of slightly right or very right wing parliaments.
Eventually becoming like a mini USA but without the guns.

Yep, 'Dickensian Britain 2 - The Comeback', which I've predicted will happen for years. Well done everyone.

Yep, more and more wealth centralised in the major cities and more and more unemployment in the districts.

We just need something else, other than blaming Poles, to distract the peasants, what about an annual tournament where kids kill each other?

Dont be so pessimistic

Farage is now a man without a mission (ukip is finished) & has been shown to the whole nation as a lying sack of shyte. Corbyn the "anti" luvie is shrewd enough to welcome back voters who have had their fingers burnt by the rightwing and will move the party away from coach ticket immigration.

BJ wants to be populist and will honour is some small way the NHS pledge, even if its only at a level where its extermination isn't his daily mission

Lord knows, hopefully I'll be looking forward to my Son coming home for summer from uni and my daughter will be looking forward to her summer holiday from high school and not explaining to her why her brother got conscripted to fight the Russians.

The former is far more likely than the latter, we've survived worse storms than this in the past and their will be worse storms than this in the future - no many of them where so self-inflicted though.

Yeah that's all well and good as "we" have a modicum of intelligence to distinguish the outpouring of [i]facts[/i] eminating from the bigoted cretinous fool but to the kool-aid drinking UKIP followers rhetoric is exactly what they want to hear as it reinforces their existing prejudices - a self fulfilling prophesy all neatly tied up in a quotable soundbite package that their feeble minds can digest.

In 10 years:

Scotland gone
Northern Ireland gone
London has done a Hong Kong deal as an independent city state
Gibraltar gone
Falklands gone
Wales starting to grumble
All the major international corporations who wanted an English speaking base for Europe will have moved to Ireland or Scotland.
The Commonwealth still won't have forgiven being deserted and left high and dry so many years previously, and still prefers Asian and Chinese investment.

England having shaken out its nasty party after a few years of crises and open street revolts will have settled down, lost its imperial delusions of being a world power, and settled for being a medium sized country flanked by neighbours in a union, but will be starting to go well as an exporter because its low wage regime and cheap real estate give it a competitive advantage especially with the low value of the £1.

I'll own my own trawler & will be quite busy. The North Sea will be once more a productive fishing ground & cod/haddock will be in plentiful supply. (as long as you don't live in a EU member country)

I'll be even more creaky but hopefully still moving. My trike rebuild will be nearly finished. Mobile phones will have been banned and chain lube will work and last.
