Nah a plan that politicians or experts would hatch, that we could comment. Is anyone at least trying to formulate one in the UK? I've read nothing on that thread about it, even though to me it seems its the first logical step after the referendum (apart from denying it happened, like in your gif :mrgreen:).

Hey, that gif aptly describes what Cameron is apparently attempting to do right now, saying they won't begin the process for another two months.

Brexit options for UK:

Make sense after what I read in Turkhammer post.
Really interesting all the "routes" that politicians can take.

This looks like plan lol

UK's Osborne says taxes will rise, spending will be cut after Brexit
UK will need to raise taxes after EU vote: finance minister Osborne

Guess national pride and heritage are more important than iphones and vr headsets after all.

Cheer up guys.  If the Pound stays in the basement at least England's balance of trade will really improve and  tourists will flood the country.  Lots and lots of Americans, Chinese and Euro tourists milling about.  Not all bad eh?

That's never really been a problem.

True dat. Those who had means to visit England are doing that for a decades. Those who don't, won't magically become capable of financing nice trip to British capital. If anything, it is about become harder for them to visit UK. Also pound failing have effect on everybody which means together, we'll be a bit poorer than we are now. So nothing changes. Until Trump makes Murica great again :mrgreen:

A ~10% national pay-cut with an acute increase in taxes for the near foreseeable future. Well at least Britain has 1/2 of it's 'national pride' back.

It seems for most people voting 'leave' it was a cultural vote not economic, anyway, so we can only hope they won't be too disappointed in this department.

You're quite the "sky is falling" kind of guy.  Nothing's even happened yet you wet the bed.

Farage was quite right about all those overpaid and bloated EU bureaucrats.  Most of them probably have never done a day's real work.  I thought he was quite humorous.

There's nothing magical about a 20% or 30% drop in the value of the Pound vis a vis your currency that makes a vacation to the UK more affordable.  It's economics 101. 
It won't be any harder for non EU members to visit the UK and barely more of a bother for EU members.  Get in the non-UK line at customs, just a bit longer wait.  It's quite simple.

He went and tried to gloat to the EU parliament about getting the UK to vote for OUT? And did it in such an obvious and, honestly, cringeworthy manner. The people behind him can be clearly seen laughing at him. It's just plain embarrassing.

That's a bit of a crass assumption isn't it? My posts aren't like that at all, at most they show an ostensibly discerning forecast. I'm just saying what is actually happening, if you can provide any evidence to tell me that i'm wrong please do so- but please read all of my posts on this matter first, i'm fully aware we are in economic uncertainty.

It's the same kind of typical confrontational British Parliament speeches that has been his trademark in the EU for years, people are used to it and the people laughing generally seem to find it entertaining. I do aswell.

From 2010 and 2011:
