The UK left the EU? So what? They never were really in it. Not really. Oh you can say that they were in it, unless you put your money where your mouth is... The Pound never became the Euro. The UK was always 1/2 in an 1/2 out, with a varied degree of in and out over the last decade. Time for Scotland, Wales, and No. Ireland to bail, if they choose to. Freedom baby! Yeah!

Unlike SOME here, I've still got my German passport, at least...

They could - but such actions could even further damage its EU trade (since the EU has rules about its trading partners that look a lot like its internal rules), which is, to put it mildly, not good for the U.K.'s GDP. London is a major financial center for the EU, if that becomes an even slightly uphill proposition, the listings will quickly migrate to France, Germany, whatever. That would basically look like a major transfer of income (specifically brokerage and other financial transaction fees) from the UK to the (remaining) EU.
Any sort of economic cost I expect to be used by the right wingers as further proof they were right, in a sort of irony you don't see too often. "We were right to go! They hated us anyway! Look at them dishing out the punishments in their un-free markets! We don't need them! Britain can take it!" and other plunder of Churchillisms.

London has arguably been the biggest financial center in the whole world. I don't expect it to keep that place, though, good trade relations with the EU or not.

David Cameron has just announced that he is resigning as Prime Minister.

Well, there's your silver lining, I suppose.

To be clear, he will continue to serve as PM for the next few months, until the Conservative Party Conference, in October.
