I suspect income inequality will rise in Britain by quite a bit...

One of the replies…
Brexit is forcing countries to revise their willingness to accept Muslims. Finally
How long do you think it will be before people [especially racists] start demanding muslims go home, like what many people were saying at the time? And then it will be, who let all the blacks in etc etc.
I have heard many people saying things like ‘you invited us here’ [in reference to Jamaicans], but white brexiteers aren’t the ones saying it.
when the govt needs more immigrants, it will get them from somewhere just like our governments always have done. leaving the eu wont change a thing.

You haven't left yet. You only triggered the exit process one week ago.Trading has not stopped.. along with the scaremongering that it would

Those who voted for Brexit are happy to suffer some casualties, for the release of the tyrannical grip of the EU.
The only country that was profiting was Germany (and someone recently mentioned France was too, and so France).
UK Startups were only making a profit after 4 years, due to all the bureaucratic red-tape that Brussels was drowning them under with the most rediculous trading regulations they could conjure up.
Trading has not stopped.. along with the scaremongering that it would, so we are at this stage in the process:

For your points on France and Germany, both appear to be net payers into the EU budget (see 2014 numbers here, from Danish Parliament). What is your source that Germany and France are "the only countr[ies] profiting"?

If the vote to remain had won, that would have been that, and the EU would have continued fleecing us and dictating how we ran our industries..
to the detriment of our industries and profit margins.. especially to small businesses, who, since the new EU regulations began don't actually start making a profit until after 4 years,
so I can assure the Remain voters that the Leave voters absolutely knew what they were voting for.
Now the House of Lords is meddling in the leave process too and trying to block Brexit.
Shouldn't a democratic vote be abided by?
as I bet it would have been if Remain had won.

26% of the population (or 37% of the electorate) isn't a majority.
Brexiteers don't understand what they voted for, because leaving the EU is complex and since no one else has done it before then no one really knows what it will look like or entail. It's not like we were given five different versions of Brexit and all voted for the same version.If the vote to remain had won, that would have been that, and the EU would have continued fleecing us and dictating how we ran our industries..
No, Farage made clear that if the vote had been marginal the other way round then he would have pressed for another referendum. This is classic Brexiteer self-victimisation.to the detriment of our industries and profit margins.. especially to small businesses, who, since the new EU regulations began don't actually start making a profit until after 4 years,
Curiously, I know several people who are running profitable small businesses within 4 years of starting them up. So you're simply wrong about this.
Curiously, all of them are concerned that without free access to the single market both their suppliers and their customers will be affected and hence their businesses are likely to make less money post-Brexit than they are now. So you're simply wrong about this too.so I can assure the Remain voters that the Leave voters absolutely knew what they were voting for.
Describe Brexit in detail.Now the House of Lords is meddling in the leave process too and trying to block Brexit.
No, they said it should go to a vote in the House of Commons, which it did, and who voted for it. You said you wanted to take the power back - what do you think that looks like? Running a poll in the Sun newspaper and then the government just does whatever the poll says?Shouldn't a democratic vote be abided by?
It wasn't a democratic vote.as I bet it would have been if Remain had won.
More Brexiteer self-victimisation...
Basically, you believe a load of crap in tabloid newspapers and than by supporting Brexit you're somehow going against the establishment and hence must be some kind of victim and rebel. It's nonsense. The Tory party (the establishment) wanted this and are going ahead with it.
