David Cameron resigns after UK votes to leave Europaean Union [View all]
David Cameron has resigned as prime minister after the British public rejected his personal entreaties and voted to leave the European Union.
“The will of the British people is an instruction that must be delivered,” the prime minister said, his voice breaking with emotion, and his wife, Samantha, standing beside him in Downing Street on Friday morning.
Cameron promised to remain in post until the autumn, to “steady the ship”, but said: “I do not think it would be right for me to be the captain who steers the country to its next destination.”..
His dramatic announcement came after a sharp fall in the pound and as £128bn was wiped off the FTSE 100.

While as the forum will know, I have never been a fan of Cameron, I fear that the UK has imitated the actions of Hilaire Belloc's Jim, Who Ran Away from his Nurse, and was Eaten by a Lion; and we may indeed be 'finding something worse'.
