Very few people who believe in Brexit bothering to take the time to reassure those who are worried that it will be OK? Or explain why they believe those fears aren't realistic? It makes me wonder, do they actually believe that it WILL be OK, or even care? Far far too much "we won we won lololol you lose losers!" as if it's all done and dusted now, nowhere near enough people saying "OK listen guys, here's how it's going to be better for all of us".


In my case specifically, I have a disabled daughter. Her future is uncertain at the absolute best of times, and it's terrifying. When things like this go on and create even more instability the anxiety it causes is very real, because I just simply do not trust the government we have in this country - now that it will be unrestrained - not to simply throw her / us on the trash heap. I don't trust this result not to generate the sort of economic instability that will make it impossible for us to build our own nestegg to protect her.

I can appreciate that when I was in my early 20's and had no responsibilities, I might have found this result / taking a risk at the unknown exciting even. I don't have that luxury anymore.

I agree. There hasn't been a single person address mine or anyone else's concerns, try to reassure me that this and that won't happen and that everything will be okay, it has just been endless gloating about how it's 'independence day' and 'we've got our country back!' which if anything is just terrifying isolationism that I have no interest in being a part of.

I'm really sick of hearing about 'sour grapes' and being 'bitter'. Of course I'm ****ing bitter, as far as I am concerned my future has been ****ed and the things I care about the most are now at risk of being trashed forever by a hardline Tory right waiting in the wings of power, who will have absolutely no restraint on what they can do to the public services and rights of people in this country.

None of this has been addressed, either before the vote or after it. And it ****ing sucks.
