I don't think they are all racist just as they arnt all stupid people, but what I can say is that the majority are either stupid or racist and that without those people remain would win by a landslide.

I feel sick 
Britain, you fecking idiots! This came completely unexpected. I feel sorry for those who voted remain, and really hope that those who voted leave pushed by xenophobic motives will pay for this.
Thank you.
So the general impression definitely is that 'I just care about immigration' is just a shallow excuse for xenophobia.
Just did a quick count using the Guardian charts. Out of 28 regions with >30% immigrant populations only 3 voted Leave.
French citizenship here I come, goodbye old England, you've just reminded me why I left 9 years ago
Because interest rates will rise - mortgage payments will become unaffordable for him, I assume.
It's more than just this idea of racist bigotry. Basically you look at the areas and how they voted and it reflects how well they've either prospered under EU or seen their industry decline and their communities suffer. The whole thing is incredibly close. I know a lot of NHS employees who have voted leave, NHS employees who have felt marginalised and seen their jobs farmed out not through any fault of their own but because they had reached a zenith of pay and forced to go onto agency work with no guaranteed hours.
I also know a lot of people who voted leave not because they want to not leave Europe, but because of the democratic issues involved with Brussels ( The administrative system of European Government which is very much in the pockets of large business). For example, TTIP as well which was the largest kiss off to corporate America & Europe and would have guaranteed the further erosion of the NHS to the point of destruction and would write into EU law the culpability of the TAX payer to cover company loss of profit in what they claim are anti competitive national policies as well as and this was a big one Financial Bailouts being guaranteed.
It's not been as Black and White as is being made out. Those that voted to leave are not racists bigots and those that wanted to remain were not traitors.
feck, pound has had its biggest fall in the last 30 years, Here is our transfer season fecked now.
We're sitting here talking about the same thing, but in Italy. However, I don't want to leave my country for good. Have to wait and see, I guess.
The correlation based on education/qualifications is stunning. Only places that fall outside it are in Scotland, which are more remain than the norm.
Good luck to people going on holiday, have to take more money now, the exchange rate will be fecked. Nice to see anyone who voted out wasn't looking at the bigger picture
I was so happy when Scotland voted to stay with the rest of us - now I absolutely support their independence so that they can join the EU.
Will Scotland make an another referendum now considering that they voted to stay in EU?
Champagne sales will drop and Lamborghini will suffer a big blow in turnover. The real victims are the French and Italians here.Let's see what happens when the London stock market opens
Forgive them, for they know not what they do
I reckon they'll give it a few months to let the dust settle and see where we stand.
If its anything like what I fear it is then its the end of the Union.
Ireland's probably gone too.
That was fun.
Wow Absolutely brilliant news to wake up to, so much for getting the rich to try sway votes, I'm obviously in the minority on here that voted leave but I'm proud of it.
According to our regional news in yorkshire It was 58% 42% split so not even really close.

On the other I have quite a bit of euros stuck in belgium from when i worked there, so I can now finally bring them back
What was your reason for voting leave?
Corbyn arguing that article 50 should be invoked now and every effort should be made to protect British jobs even though an immediate invokation will hasten the relocation plans of many businesses (particularly financial services — 13% of our exports)
Absolutely, but don't ignore the large chunk of voters who had different motives.
What makes you think we'll see financial services leave? Not my expectation at all
It is clear he wants to get Cameron to wreck the economy and benefit from it, whilst appearing reasonable.
I imagine so. It'll hinge on whether polls show a majority for independence. But this is quite likely to swing it. It's less than two years since the last one so I can see the SNP taking some time to let momentum build again but aiming to do so within this parliament if the popular support is there.
The name-calling lost it for Remain. I think most of the Leavers knew it made economic sense to stay, but every time someone called them racist, stupid, little Englander, or too old to be allowed to vote, then a few more said well feck you.
Caroline Lucas and Tim Farron on 5Live: Leave voters are 'forces of isolation and extremism'.
Let's see the backtracking from the Tory party HQ now.
This.
17 million voted to leave. They can't all be racist.
I voted to remain. But the remain campaign did a terrible job of explaining the benefits. Where as leave campaign already have lied about NHS and immigration.
The thought of Merkel & rest of those feckers absolutely shitting themselves right now is putting a huge smile on my face. Good job Britain, you just won future free of bullshit bureaucratic that in no way should be controlling your country. Hopefully it's the start of EU's downfall.
I know I have a tendency to be an elitist so I apologise in advance (I am aware this is a bit like saying "I'm not being racist but…")…
But it's hard not to view this as a failing of democracy. Those you would presume better equipped to make an informed decision outvoted by those less well equipped.
Will anyone even go to work today in Britain?
Sorry about that, that was a very uneuropean mistake.
Are you sure the picture isn't much bigger than that?
They're talking about 8.5% down - I think it will be lower when it opens. I wonder if the LSE has circuit breakers across its entire exchange... I know the NYSE does, but I think the LSE only has circuit breakers per stock.Let's see what happens when the London stock market opens
I am curious to see how our government steer the country through this. Lots 9f remain campaigners must have had plans for this scenario.
Yeah, Britain are our biggest trade partner. Well probably follow ye out the door within 5 years. The European Union may not survive another decade
Independence day isn't official yet
