Strongly worded message was designed to stop domino effect of EU exits in wake of Leave vote
Stunned EU bosses ordered Britain: “Pack your bags and get out now.”
The strongly worded message in the wake of Thursday’s Leave vote was designed to stop a domino effect of EU exits and calm the frenzied money markets.
Far-right groups in France and Holland seized on the result to demand their own exit referendums.
In Brussels, EU chiefs said they “regret but respect” our decision and that the UK must remain “a close partner”.
But in a clear sign of the battles ahead, a statement from bosses including European Council boss Donald Tusk and European Commission president Jean Claude Juncker called on the UK to start Brexit immediately. It said: “We now expect the government to give effect to this decision of the British people as soon as possible, however painful that process may be.
“Any delay would unnecessarily prolong uncertainty.”
