The United Kingdom’s credit rating was downgraded to double-A from triple-A by Standard & Poor’s on Monday in response to the country’s referendum to leave the European Union. The ratings agency also changed its outlook on the U. K. to “negative,” and warned of “a deterioration of the U. K.’s economic performance, including its large financial-services sector.” Later Monday, ratings agency Fitch also downgraded the country, to AA negative. Global markets have taken a significant hit since the referendum results were officially verified, and the British pound plummeted to a 31-year low Monday. On Friday, Moody’s cut Great Britain’s outlook to negative. www.thedailybeast.com/.../...ded-after-brexit.html This means the UK govt will pay higher interests to get loans on the market. And current UK bonds lose value.
Oh, yes, I nearly forgot: many thsnks for helping the NSA spying on European telecommunications. That was *really nice*. :( I hope you had a lot of fun (and a good reward from the Pentagon)

It was that French asshole Napoleon who started talking about "perfidious Albion", I think.
Why did he say such words? :-o
I like the French. They stand with us when it matters... but yes we do want to be better then them. :p
The old people vote Leave, the young Remain. Here's WHY:

That doesn't explain why. It also doesn't show turnout. Only 30% of under 25's even voted.
@RandomBritishGuy94 The 'why' is in the number of years they'll have to live with the consequences of their vote.
