Well far from a stupid overreaction they are reacting in line with what was forecast and not just here but around the world.
It's just been reported in Parliament that Funding Circle have today lost a £100m investment due to BREXIT. That means less money for them to lend.

Well, it is stuck to Spain, if they are so desperate to stay within the EU then there's your answer, allie with spain.
Sure all the spanish can be issued with work permits to keep their jobs in Gabralta.

We are still in the EU, it's your usual over reaction from the markets, even the finantial people are saying this (the ones in America). The over reaction came about becasue nobody expected this result and they were working on the assumption it was a remain; bit like when you're completely convinved that somebody fancy you and it turns out they don't, the shock is more intense.
This country as a GDP of over 3 trillion, 100 million is alot, but nothing that can't be recovered from.
This is what I don't understand, of course there was going to be a reaction on the markets, everybody was told this before the vote, i have no idea why people don't like the dust settle instead of running around like headless chickens.
The main problem with the markets is there's no decisive action from the UK. If the PM had stayed, got the ball rolling and negotiations started, then probably they would have been a lot calmer.
Thing is theres a huge Naval base there and gibralterians work in spain and the Gibralterians just voted to stay. If we let gibraltar go might as well give the falklands to the argentinans as well

They do leave a link to The Mail on Sunday who also claim that just under 700,000 remain voters regret their votes too.

No, it was calculated using percentages over a smaller survey.

That reads with a disgruntled undertone by the way.
Further making you look like an undercover leave voter.

As the referendum was "advisory" and not "mandatory" on the government to take the UK out of the EU, I assume that it actually needs to be decided (and voted on?) by Parliament.
I do stand to be corrected though.

You can't compare the GDP of the country to the funding of an individual organisation.
It's like telling someone who's just lost their job "What are you worried about? The country, as a whole, is fine"
Love the term for what it is today in the markets a dead cat bounce day

Indeed, but it might also illustrate the central myth at the heart of the Leave campaign, that the UK could have the benefits of the EU, without the responsibilities!
