Tabloid newspaper The Sun has gone back on its pre-election depiction of Brexit Britain as a land of sugar and honey by admitting that there could be dire consequences for us now we've backed Brexit.
The Rupert Murdoch owned newspaper, which has a circulation of 2.2 million, urged its readers to back Brexit on Thursday, saying we should: "BeLEAVE in Britain."
Strong pun to be fair.
But people aren't pleased that after slagging off the EU for weeks, it's now publishing articles saying that we might not have made Britain quite so 'great'.
It's since published articles about how the result will impact on personal finances, and the paper's been accused of back-peddling. Here's one...
The article claims there will be the following consequences of the UK leaving the EU:
1. Inflation is likely to rise
2. The cost of an average family holiday will rise
3. Accommodation abroad will cost more
4. Beer prices will go up
5. EU caps on international calls will no longer apply, so it'll cost much more to make calls in Europe
6. Unemployment will rise and wages will fall by up to four per cent
7. Mortgage prices will rise
8. Rates of taxation will increase
9. Benefit payments may be slashed
Shit son, can you beLEAVE that?
Needless to say there's been a bit of a flame war in the comment section.
Pauline sounds like she's not happy...
And 'del bigs' sounds like he's fucking furious...
But Chris is still keeping the faith...
I guess that's what happens when you have a nation where 52% voting one way and 48% vote the other.

Never-the-less lads, it's Brexit time! - even if nobody knows what's coming next.
Could we see another comment section argument on here? I'm going to leave that to you...
