Just before 5am....

I'm mildly surprised. Mildly pleased. Interested to listen to the clucking and squawking and shrieking.

I must admit that I'm going to be highly interested so listen to the noises coming out of Brussels. Perhaps they will bitterly regret everything they said about the UK not being worth the changes Cameron demanded. Regret their stance that the UK was on their own and the threatening stance they took.

I'm going to enjoy that greatly.

Huge, huge historical decision.

Keith Vaz interviewed, virtually in tears ......

Yep, I saw that. Where are my crocodile tears???

My take has always been that it won't be easy, it won't be cheap but the whole point is that the cost is extreme value for where we are going in the future.

I'm wondering when they will remember to start talking about our "key role" on the UN security council? Our key role as one of the two major pillars of NATO? They are already talking about getting our seat back on the WTO.

What we need now is Trump in the White house who will move heaven and earth to bring the UK up to it's rightful place on the world stage. Clinton would not do the same.

From my perspective, this makes it a snap for the EU to take the French permanent seat on the UN security council now that they only have one....

Now they have to work out how they're going to tell the markets "surprise it was all a scare story, the country is fine. More than fine actually".... That's going to raise a smile.

Apparently a Canadian politician has already called on his country to sort out a quick trade agreement with the UK .....

The truth about the 5th largest economy in the world will out.

If we were looking at an emerging market (that's what we have become), of this size, we'd be looking to make a killing trading with them....

I guess, in the next week or so, I need to find out if I will still have a job.. The idea of a challenger bank in the UK was not a BOE idea, it was direct from the ECB. Now we are leaving the EU, that edict is no longer mandatory...

As I said, this vote has potential personal implications for me way beyond most people who voted. I would not change my position for a second.
