Concur. There'll be protracted negotiations, some sort of compromise to save face on both sides, the whole thing will drag on and get very complicated, everyone will have a good moan about it, and then we'll all go back to constantly texting each other, watching Game of Thrones and the like, shopping, drinking, and riding bikes.

All the people I spoke to at work yesterday who voted leave were adamant they weren't xenophobic but just feel the EU juggernaut is broken and want an alternative, whatever that is. I told them it's a pretty bad punt for marginal gains but potential huge losses.
I think there are phone calls being made behind the scenes between UK and euro leaders and they'll create a two tier euro zone and we'll vote to stay in with new controls.
It'll take a long time for the bad taste to go but I'm cautiously optimistic that this will fix itself somehow but it's going to get worse before it gets better.
