Seriously, this is not good at all.
Yes I have seen the markets - and sorry but the guys who run those markets were all for REMAIN - look at how high the pound went when they thought they were winning

The reality is that the only scare mongers right now are the ones shorting the British pound trying to desperately punish the British people for leaving the EU - because all they don't want is Britain on her own to succeed - and thus make other EU countries figure enough is enough

Elites don't like being told to go stuff it by the "common folk" - especially elites who have being buying into the EU Kool-Aid for too long - it wasn't protectionism - it was people being sick and tired of Brussels bureaucrats telling a country with a very long tradition of democratic government that they had to do what they said no matter what

Frankly I am betting that Obama and Hillary are looking at what just happened and realizing just how much trouble they may be in if the US feels the same way about them
