EU Referendum

[Hacker Khan]

When I left to come to work this morning my 10 year old daughter was still sleeping, so I I kissed her and said a silent sorry. I feel we have bequeathed a country which has just voted itself out of the biggest trading bloc in the world and will shortly be even less influential when the union breaks up. Run by an even more right wing government when Cameron inevitably goes. We have a political system which seems to be more aping the US system of creating a political environment of fear and intolerance, drowning out most real concerns and issues on both sides. And the whole world seems to be sliding into more entrenched nationalistic and introverted policies in a time when I feel we need to work together even more closely to try and counter the economic, environmental and terror threats we face.

I for one prey the so called experts on one side were not right when they talked about the consequences of this vote we have just made.

It was never going to be more than a percent or two either way - which to me is not enough mandate for any decision of this type of magnitude. But l suppose requiring a bigger mandate does make changing the status quo more difficult.

But today, we are where we are - so l hope we can stop the vitriol & bleating. We now have to make this work.

Pinch me. I've dreamt of this for decades. Proud of the country ignoring all the fear. Now if Scotland can just be on their way that'll be another huge drain on the coffers removed.:clap::thup:

*snigger*

Interesting in my office as we are a global company with lots of youngish people working here, and there is a very depressed atmosphere. With a little bit of anger. I can only describe the atmosphere as what you would get if someone has died.

This surely has the be the mechanism on which Indyref2 comes about.

62% of Scottish people want EU membership. I'm quite sure that they don't want to be associated with a country who has followed Farage and Bojo into withdrawing from the European Convention of Human Rights.

You asked for Brexit- I just hope you can swallow what you ordered.

Any new hospitals yet?

And so the political opportunism rolls on to the next fiasco.

Whoops. Farage now saying that the £350m a week saving isn't actually accurate and there will be no new hospitals built.

It's almost like they lied.

 

[larmen]

Can we get those who lead the Leave to now step up and lead the country They should deliver on their promises rather than go scotfeee

That is what I want to see as well. Perhaps not all of them, just some.
What's the best case scenario? Norway? Still no control of immigration but part of free trade?



Anyway, off to hospital in a minute, seeing where the £350 million goes. That is, if they still treat me.

Nationalism response is Nationalism.

Indeed. It's the wrong direction of travel, for me.

Awful post, and we wonder why we English are disliked by so many, no issue with the EU vote the Scotland comment is sad.

Shocking result. Most of those who voted out won't be around to see the repercussions. It's a vote for isolationism, that's not worked out very well before

I think it's impossible for me to feel less 'English' today.

Through my seethe I just see the majority of those down south as Alf Garnett clones.

Murdoch must be laughing his socks off, his aim of destroying the UK from within is almost complete.
