@OP you signed that government petition for another referendum yet? https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/131215/

Some people have been asking about what the EU is. Here is a quick explanation as to what it is: The EU (European Union) was a collective of the 27 European powers formed after WW2 to promote unification and (hopefully) stop some of the key factors for hostilities between neighbouring countries (such as Germany during the aftermath of world war 2). England leaving the EU is on account to many factors, such as the EU's influence on many negative factors of Britain, including immigration (a key trait for many of my peers voting to leave), heavy taxes (on average, the money sent to other away countries weekly for reasons our government fails to explain is enough to build 2 hospitals, A WEEK!!!) and the relative lack of say in political affairs in regards to the EU as a whole. As a British citizen who voted out I carry this to the before mentioned heavy taxes being a EU member costs us. My hope is with the money we save we can, within a few years time, be able to start developing more homes and opening more jobs to help our OWN citizens. Hopefully an independent England will be able to pull itself out of the recession we are in and get our homeless off the streets, instead of wasting our taxes on funding the development of OTHER countries. I'll get flak for this, but although I understand the plight of some countries such as Greece, I believe my taxes should go on my home country first. I walk past a homeless shelter 3 times a week on my way to work and it's always full. I want my government to treat it's own citizens with the concern they have neglected to show out of fear of disappointing our EU neighbours, a fear that now is of no more concern thanks to our independence. People can state what they like about my beliefs, to each their own, but let this be a reference as to why 51% (around 17,410,000) voted alongside me to gain independence from a Union that whammy shown much benefit to our wellbeing.

Looks like the England footballers are taking the Brexit a bit too seriously

I'm British and I voted out (for reasons that don't concern you readers) and I found this funny as hell! :) (Seriously if xur sells a yr2 no land beyond I'll be all other it. Never got a yr1 version and I wanna try it)

Ppl need to lighten up. It a JOKE! A play on words!!! Where is ur British sence of humour?? I thought this was great!!

Scotland and North Irland for Indepence Great Britian must die, its a old empire that isnt great for the future. all lands under britian must gain indepence

F*ck the EU. F*ck globalism. When the EU's economy and currency gets flushed down the toilet, the UK is going to be glad they made this decision. I hope the separatist movement in Scotland gets its act together.

Shame about the rift this referendum has created within the UK. I don't think we have to political fortitude within our leadership to lead us out of this in a good way in any of the political parties. There is genuine hate and resentment out there, I voted remain, but I am not a sore loser, I do feel we made a mistake, but I wont allow it to stop me living my life as normal, if we stop spending and allow fear to paralyses us then things will get worse. I think a reformed EU, and reformed legislation within the UK that the EU has no control over would've gone a long way to making a better EU and better UK but alas that won't happen now, and I wish the remaining EU countries all the best in making it work for them. I do worry we entered this as the UK and will exit it something less, and I fear for the festering anger both sides of the vote now hold towards one another, the UK is meant to be a county that show tolerance towards others yet the last few days have shown a distinct lack of that.

So um... explain what exactly is going on? Ya know, for the ignorant Americans out there, who are too busy shaking their heads over our own election to worry about the UK politics.... #TitanMasterRace

Yeah what's up's w/ that decision? What happened? ...I'm completely oblivious to the decision/reasoning, but still find it interesting...

How about learning information on why people like me voted for Brexit! (It is not about being racist or slamming refugees if people did their homework). Its about my extortionate taxes going to other countries in need when parts of my country is an utter shit hole and writhed with the scum of the earth! Not to mention that I don't have much money because I am drained from giving it to the EU! Its about my prospects in life and future for my generation and the next. Its about the my countries restrictions from the banning of bent cucumbers to the inability to deport foreign criminals, not even able to make our own laws with permission... I could go on with an essay with this. If you support the EU then why is America not doing the same. Have no borders over north and south america..... have the capital in panama and have free movement of people. The USA should little say in any law, but must abide by them. The USA should also send billions to mexico to help them develop. Should also finance their own companies to move to Argentina.... any other comtinent and it makes no sence, so why is it any different for Europe. So this xur post taking the piss about Brexit in my opinion just shows the lack of knowledge of the subject and you're bigotory behaviour. Proud leave Vote UK citizen here

Why..? Why have you brought politics to a video game forum? You have attracted the worst of them. You're an idiot. Whether people acknowledge the satire here or no, political 'debate' has just ran rampant because you made the mistake of bringing a significant political event to a place where people whine and complain that a certain gun or ability is killing them a bit more than it should.

So today I learned that Great Britain, UK, and England aren't the same thing...I'm 24... The American school system sucks ass. [i]~ Nyahh! =^,.,^=[/i]

Well xur was kind to me this week. Economy breaker: secret perk - £350m regenerates every week BUT doesn't get spent on the NHS Super Good Racism: secret perk: allows grown men to chant 'we voted out, you're going home' in the faces of 13yo girls not even from the EU. MInd The Multi Fool: secret perk: Sets up Boris Johnson as possible candidate for prime minister.

BORIS JOHNSON FOR PM

To the Scots Irish and the people from Wales, leave the UK and join the European Union again

Well, no matter what this brings. I will always remember and laugh the news people in UK started googling "What's is EU" after the vote lol

I see some people are upset with what has happened and you're blaming the people...how about you go blame the government for holding this ridiculous referendum In the first place and for being so out of touch with the people for years and years. Me personally I hate voting and I will never vote again that's for sure.

Really disappointing that one of the superpowers of Europe and one of the original creators of the EU itself decided to leave a peace keeping body because "oh, we don't like giving money to Brussels" and "we don't like dealing with these refugees either, that's your problem". Really? Did Britain forget why the EU was formed in the first place? To unite Europe so something like WWII would never happen again. Now look at Europe. Will other countries follow your example? "Well, if Britain leaves, then we should leave too". Eventually, the EU will collapse and Europe will become divided again. Countries will become nationalistic and "Trump-like" thinking that they are the best and start to not like the rest of Europe. The world will fall apart and WWIII will happen. Mark my words. Europe should remain a united body for peace. Shame on you Britain. For shame. What would Winston Churchill think of your decision? What would your ancestors who fought and died for peace think? It's rather disgusting and shameful that a majority of your country seems to be filled with wimps that can't handle working with others. Ugh, sorry. I needed to vent. This is the beginning of the end of the world. Do people realize that good must unite against evil? Europe should remain whole. I'm very disappointed UK.

To be honest, I feel more informed having read the replies in this thread than I do reading any article on this topic. I live in America so the news doesn't always tell me what I want to know. Reading firsthand accounts of this has been quite enlightening.

I hate to be that ignorant American but can someone here nicely explain what exactly leaving the EU means for them? And why they did it? Edit: I appreciate all of your answers in helping me learn a bit more, and let's all hope for the well being of your country in the months and years to come of this decision

Ur thumpnail, u got it from daygon/Ben/mightea?

Independence Day. Thank you to all my fellow Brexiteers.
