Not that Close


Well over a Million more Wise Voters
voted to Leave the EU


And there is not going to be another one
The PM told everyone this is it
no chance of return.


I thank Him for being honest on that.


No General Election


a new PM in 3 months

...it really doesn't matter though Johnny, whether it was always going to be close...it still leaves a divided problem of a divided country and that problem is equal for everyone..yes, I do think that the vote has to be accepted by all but it also has to be respected by all..so the Brexiters also realising and respecting that this was never about a 'win'..because they won't lose any less than anyone else if this decision doesn't work for the country...and good morning....

Was the phrase "sour grapes" in some sort of Brexit voter's pamphlet or something? "Things to say in the event of a leave result".

I'm more sick of hearing that phrase than I am about the result at this point. It's smug, unimaginative and ****ing boring. Cut it out.

..yeah, let them learn without teachers or resources in the classrooms to help them, the little buggers have it far too easy I think...it really has nothing to do with hard work or hard work paying off, Arista...if it's going to get harder as you say then a generation is going to be failed and there is no maybes or ifs about that and no 'win' for any one of us....

..and also the Brexiters respecting the feelings of almost half of the country as well, Johnny......a two way thing, eh....because I don't think that there is any doubt that we're all together in wanting and needing this to work out for the country...anyways, Paris is still always a good idea...

This I agree with Kazanne (how unusual! Haha...) the response has been awful. Lots of jeering, sneering and clapping at people, most of whom are just genuinely worried about their future and their family's futures. 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.

Is this a first TS ? I also was thinking of my children when I voted,their future is what matters to me, some people seem to be so flippant ,when really the way we handle this is important for the future of Great Britain,good luck to you and your daughter btw.

I haven't seen much gloating personally, although I have seen some. What I've seen quite a lot of is moaning from people who didn't get the vote they were expecting and a lot of insults toward the people who voted Out.... xenophobe, it's the older generation screwing the younger generation because all elderly people are racist, the suggestion that only those who voted to remain had really thought about it... The childishness on both sides needs to stop if anything is ever going to be discussed in an adult way. The decision has been made and now it's up to all of us to make it work, whether that's the way you voted or not.

Well, my wife is back at University now and when she qualifies, emigration should hopefully be a realistic option as a worst case scenario! We'll just bail
