Oddoo: 8 Unbelievable Reactions To Brexit

Whatever side of the fence you find yourself on, the British vote to leave the EU has inspired concern—and in some cases, regret—among not only citizens but international observers.

One man's epic rant against leaving the EU goes viral on Facebook

Before all the votes were counted, one man's epic Facebook rant about the possibility of Britain leaving the EU went viral. Why? You tell us—we'll just leave this here:

Friday's going to be amazing! I'm going to wake up in my Union Jack jim-jams to the sound of a squadron of Spitfires racing overhead and leaving a trail of hot buttered crumpets behind them.

I'll run to the corner shop past all the British children who are laughing and squealing with excitement as they make a beautiful statue of the queen out of happy wriggling bulldog puppies—with two corgis for her eyebrows!

Bunting flutters everywhere and the man from the betting shop steps into the street: "Guess what! England just won the World Cup and The Ashes and The Grand National and here's the best bit—Boris put a bet on it for everyone! You're all MILLIONAIRES!!!"

The Red Arrows fly overhead dropping fish and chips as I walk into the corner shop, get my morning paper and go to the counter. "How much please?" I say to the Asian lad there. "One pence, everything in the whole shop now costs just 1p!" He laughs. "Leave it on the counter, I'm off back to Pakistan— we all are!"

And he's right! Outside in the streets jolly old Nigel Farage is leading a huge crowd of happy foreigners—Turks, Poles, Romanians, Syrians—there's even a few English people with heavy suntans mixed up in there! Nigel's playing Rule Britannia on a long pipe, rather like the pipe that takes the gas into your oven, and they're all following and smiling and talking foreign, bless them!

Just then Boris flies overhead in a concorde made of Bank of England gold—"Don't worry!" he laughs. "I've cut out all the bits the French made!" and with that he crashes into the ground at 1200 miles an hour, along with the economy, the country and all the dozy nostalgic foreigner-fearing
f--kwits who fell for his bulls--t.

Grow up. Wake up.

Searches for "what happens if we leave the EU" more than triple AFTER the vote

Oh, boy—know what you're voting for, people.

Confusion over what Brexit might mean for the economy appears to have been reflected across the UK AFTER votes were cast. Google reported sharp upticks in searches not only relating to the ballot measure but also to basic questions concerning the implications of the vote. About eight hours after the polls closed, Google reported that searches for "what happens if we leave the EU" had more than tripled. Britons were not only mystified by what would happen if they left the EU, but many also seemed not even to know what the European Union is. (Source | Photo)

The prime minister who gambled, lost and later resigned

The man who brought the referendum to the table in the first place, British Prime Minister David Cameron, led the campaign for Britain to remain in the EU. After the results had been announced, he gave his resignation from the position he's held for the last six years, saying: "I fought this campaign in the only way I know how, which is to say directly and passionately what I think and feel—head, heart, and soul. I held nothing back. I will do everything I can as Prime Minister to steady the ship over the coming weeks and months. But I do not think it would be right for me to try to be the captain that steers our country to its next destination." (Source)

The U.S. presidential candidate whose Brexit tweet got some amazing responses

The day after the vote, presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump tweeted something truly stupid regarding Britain's decision to leave the EU: 

Just arrived in Scotland. Place is going wild over the vote. They took their country back, just like we will take America back. No games!

Scotland voted 62% to 38% to remain in the EU, and Trump was "corrected" by the Twitter masses:
