1) Scotland and Northern Ireland get a bad deal here since they wanted to remain in the EU.
The vote in Scotland and Northern Ireland was bordering on 50% too, so, it's not like it was a blanket vote there either. Around 50% of people will be satisfied either way. So, no, not necessarily a bad deal really for all in those countries as you make it out.
I should note that I live in the only county in Northern Ireland that voted majority leave, what about counties? Should we start splitting up the counties too?
A day after the Brexit, former UK Independence Party (UKIP) leader Nigel Farage admitted he had misled the public on a key issue.
Wow media. First of all, he mentioned a potential option of what to do with the money instead, didn't make any sort of campaign promise. When asked about the leave campaign's advertisement, he responded that it wasn't promised outcome of the brexit and they shouldn't have done that.
That isn't him "misleading" anyone. It's other people.
The tariff without a FTA for trade is around 1% of the cost, that's insignificant compared to EU memebership fees honestly.
Houses prices plummeting
Great! Houses will finally be reasonably priced and people can start owning their own homes again.
savings interest rates plummeting
My bank says that's not going to happen though?
prices increasing minimum 10%
It's okay, we can drop the EU mandated VAT which is currently around 20%.
currency failing
Looks fine to me? I still get more Euros and dollars when I convert pounds to them?
Spain is going to make UK suffer.
Cool story, however we've seen growth with the rest of the world, not Europe. So, if we're barred from doing stuff with the EU, I guess we'll have to use the alternative... Countries that have actual growth.
And from the news it looks like a lot of british citizens changed their minds the day after the vote when the leave leaders fessed up that all their promises were lies.
I don't know anyone in my social circles that voted leave that changed their mind.
Windows is a terrible operating system at times, I can't be blamed for that. I can be blamed for bringing on a system administrator that isn't able to figure out how to do his work (and in my company, you're free to pursue any training you want, so if they can't figure out what training they need to supplant their skills, it's an actual problem).
Knowing 'the windows registry entries (for anything)' is reason enough to never trust someone.
I'm talking about getting the job done, not trust; stay on topic.
He's right, the Leave EU campaign was based on lies
I'm not going to through each article, because I'm not here to pointless disprove every little thing shown. But let's start addressing your first one.
1. We aren't going to see a fall in immigration levels
It has the potential to be changed, depending on the final agreements with the EU, it's not a simple open and shut case and even then, changes are much easier to negotiate outside of the EU than inside since there is no EC overriding any UK political decisions.
2. We aren't going to have an extra £100 million a week for the NHS
Again, this up in the air, we could allocate those funds to the NHS if we wanted.
3. We aren't going to be able to stay in the single market
No other country has a set up like that: both France and Germany have made it abundantly clear that we are not going to be able to have our cake and eat it, ie, take advantage of the free-trade zone without contributing a single penny to it, as Leave says we will.
We'll be able to join the European Free Trade Association and if we didn't have a FTA with the EU (such as the 23 nations under European Union Association Agreement that aren't part of the Customs Union/EU membership), the tariff fees would still be less than the imposed VAT laws the EU applied and wouldn't cost the country as much as EU membership does.
But, I guess I should list the countries just so we can be clear on which ones are part of the European Union Association Agreement:
Albania, Algeria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Chile, Egypt, Georgia, Iceland, Israel, Jordan, Kosovo, Lebanon, Liechtenstein, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Morocco, Norway, Serbia, South Africa, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey
(Some, but not all may have signed up to additional agreements separately to this)
4. We aren't going to get our sovereignty back
Looks like we're going to get a new prime minister by the end of the autumn Conservative party conference. It'll be a short list of two people, nominated by MPs.
This unelected leader could then theoretically hold office unopposed until a general election has to be called in three year's time.
We elect parties, not individuals, so actually yes, we did elect whoever will be in power if it's up to the party.
5. We aren't going to save £350m a week
The Leave claim that the UK gives £350m a week to the EU has been thoroughly debunked.
It's not been debunked.
6. We won't remain a world leader in research and development
UK investment in science and universities has dried up since the recession, whereas the EU gave us £7bn in science funding alone between 2007 - 2013.
Absolutely, of course, this would never have been a problem if we hadn't had European Exchange Rate Mechanism cause a recession previously, or the destruction over 100,000 jobs from the common fisheries policy (not including jobs lost due to growth in the last 40 years), the common agricultural policy (which has forced farmers to grow certain types of crops that won't sell and forced them into poverty situations where they need EU handouts to keep operating), the sustainable development project, the European climate change programme and so on all lead to drastic problems that affected people's life adversely. I'm sure none of those had any influence on any of those things at all! Are you really saying that being able to build new industries and revitalize parts of the UK bogged down by legislation wouldn't be able to sustain research and development? Wow.
7. We aren't going to save £2bn on energy bills
Leave promised we could end VAT on household energy bills. While that's possible, it won't save us any
A surge is not related to a percentage of absolute, but rather a previous value to a new value.
Well, we'll see at the end of the year how many racist hate crimes took place then because I can tell you, so far the actual acts over where I live have gone down for this year.
And quite frankly the surge of racism in the UK has been bad enough to severally drop people's opinion of the British in the past 2 weeks is disgusting.
Of course, nobody was reporting really on racism at all in Britain until after the vote. I know for a fact that in my city, during Battle of the Boyne, you'll see something closer to 80 cases of it happening; but you won't see that reported in the news.
Yeah it's just a bunch of pre-existing racists high on the idea that their views are now legitimate, and there's no more racists in the country now than before, but frankly this legitimisation is bad enough.
Quite frankly, this legitimisation is being fuelled by the media showing it's 'wide-spread' (but isn't), the remain campaigners who tried to make it that leave was about that etc. Yet nobody wants to actually point at those responsible and instead blame 'brexit' generally. The remainers and the media are significantly to blame for what happened and rather than take responsibility and deal with it, they'd rather just point at the leavers and go on about how they did this.
The legitimization is literally only being portrayed by the remainers and some racist individuals because pretty much everyone in the leave campaign are saying and have been saying since the start that we're not going to be sending masses of people who are already here, away and doing so would be crazy.
You don't even understand regular news here, which makes the impact of the news reporting this more significant. Our regular news on reporting acts that are caused by a minority is not mention the minority connection at all, for example, look at this article, these three men all have a well known belief system and a common background that has nothing to do with Oxford, but the media won't actually report that. The media is very happy though to report how racist people are in Britain since Brexit though where before they wouldn't even put a blurb up about it. You miss a lot of facts about what goes on here and the media clearly manipulates a narrative if you just spend a little bit looking at all the media stories from any one provider.
That's not the employee's issue, that's the employer's issue.
It is the employee's issue because that's exactly why we don't hire some people or why some people end up getting let go. They're not suitable.
Companies of old had classrooms where people were trained.
Last week I trained an employee on Scrum in my home.
The company doesn't want to be on the hook for training.
My company has a minimum of 15 days mandatory training that you have to use. You can use to learn practically any IT certification, course etc. you want. We're an Agile company and have the expectation of the employee (even myself) to do be independent and do better, we even give the resources to do so.
Note that I don't have a horse in this race (I make a good salary).
The British representatives to the EU are unelected.
You're a little mixed up, the powers you're questioning is to do with secret voting (makes it easy for people to say one thing to their people and do something else entirely) on the European Commission president by the European Parliament (made up of people we elected) who elects 27 other members of the commission. Once in power, these people have authority over the European Parliament and can override any majority vote or interest. As these people are detached and not answerable to anyone but the politically elite, it has lead to a massive disconnect between what the people want and EC's interests.
Limbago suggests tech workers in Britain's financial sector may feel the impact, "with Bitcoin surging and the pound dropping.... London's role as the financial hub is now threatened thanks to the Brexit, the rise of digital currencies, and the EU's move toward greater digital integration."
Wow, those Bitcoin stories/fantasies are getting more ridiculous as they try to stay in the news.

Sure, there is no additional measured power consumption when using TCP on my network.
I wasn't talking to you, APK. But, since you decided to answer, tell us more about the "real apk".
A vast unknowable thing like space.
Tell me more about the "real apk".
Stop whining about brats, you're ruining Slashdot.
How many TB isn't abuse again?
It's not available as part of the Amazon Prime Video package or Sky Go either!
Not available in my region on Netflix!
No, I expect 200ms reaction times 24/7, which would have been sufficient for your scenario.
That's why you leash them, silly billy!

Yougov polls are not accurate. If they were, we'd have 70% remain right now. Your information is based off Yougov polls.
Wow media. First of all, he mentioned a potential option of what to do with the money instead, didn't make any sort of campaign promise. When asked about the leave campaign's advertisement, he responded that it wasn't promised outcome of the brexit and they shouldn't have done that.
That isn't him "misleading" anyone. It's other people.
This actually happened in the Republic of Ireland until they got the answer they wanted.
I think we'd see different people voting too, so it wouldn't be a confirmation.
The tariff without a FTA for trade is around 1% of the cost, that's insignificant compared to EU memebership fees honestly.

I know of no people who've lost their PCIe slot due to this and I know a lot of people.
