    Excerpt:

    The UK has voted to leave the EU after a bitter and divisive campaign.

    Prime Minister David Cameron has said he will resign by the time of the Conservative party conference in October.

    Financial markets across the world are down sharply. Sterling has plummeted and banking stocks are taking a heavy beating in early trading.

    Bank of England govenor Mark Carney has said they "will not hesitate to take any additional measures" to ensure monetary and financial stability

    Key points
    • It is a Leave victory - see our interactive results page
    • Most of the country has turned against the EU with only London, Scotland and Northern Ireland delivering big wins for Remain.
    • Turnout was 72.%, with 16,141,241 cast in favour of Remain and 17,410,742 in favour of Leave
    • The financial markets are in turmoil, sterling has fallen dramatically and volatility is hitting other major currencies. The Euro is suffering its worst day ever against the dollar
    • Citi has downgraded two of the UK's biggest banks, saying they are "highly exposed" to Brexit
    • The Bank of England has said it will "take all necessary steps to meet its responsibilities for monetary and financial stability."
    • Prime Minister David Cameron has said he will resign and that the new PM should be the one to decide when to trigger Article 50.
    • The BoE says it stands ready to provide more than £250bn of additional funds to the financial system through normal market operations.

    My Comment:

    Brexit Referendum Results - Approximately 52% of the UK voted to get out of the European Union! An amazing and very hopeful sign concerning future events in the world.

    I believe the thinking and concerned PEOPLE in a major part of the Western World, MOST CERTAINLY INCLUDING THE U.S.A., are getting totally fed up with the actions of the self-annointed members of the GLOBALIST ELITE ESTABLISHMENT making important decisions regarding their countries with absolutely no consideration for the social desires, finances and general well-being of the common folk.

    BEST WISHES to the capable and hard-working, 'tell-it-like-it-is', populist, nationalist and pragmatist, DONALD J. TRUMP, in our November 2016 Presidential Election!
