Those of us in the U.S. woke up in a relative state of shock this morning upon learning that last night Britain voted to leave the European Union, a move widely known as “Brexit,” or “British Exit.” The decision will have a lasting — and potentially quite negative — impact on the U.K. and the world-at-large’s economy for reasons too many to list here. Overseas musicians made their displeasure known on Twitter. Read reactions from Liam Gallagher, Lily Allen, Johnny Marr, Kate Nash, Billy Bragg, and more, below.
My TL is full of #Brexit gloating, who will be the worst effected.Last crash at least we could blame the bankers, now we can only blame…us

No one ever said that the majority know what they’re doing. All the more reason for the rest of us to stick together.

I truly believe this is one of the most devastating things to happen during my lifetime. I felt a fear I’ve never felt this morning.

Worst of all outcomes: Very narrow victory. England votes out, Scotland in. Boris in debt to Farage. Rancour and division ahead.
