post brexit

[shaunaneto]

I reckon the people who voted for it did so for specific reasons. I reckon they sussed out we're just getting out pants pulled down and chose not to put up with it, I don't buy this argument of them all being confused old coffin-dodgers dreaming of better days. Lets say we stayed in- if the Eurozone collapsed and took us with it, would you be happy to confine the impact of a currency failure to those who voted in?

You'll still be getting shafted, Westminster is far from a bastion of egalitarian piety. You'll just understand the meally mouthed shites easier on the news.

That said the whole bitter overtones (from both sides) is very unhealthy. Especially so if we enter a period of short term pain, which in this context us what, 10 years or so. The implications on people's lives of increased economic pressure go far beyond not affording a second holiday. We're talking about people falling into poverty, both relative and absolute, increased pressure breaking families and a rise in homelessness and suicide rates.

I can't imagine it's much fun being a non UK citizen at the minute with the Government using you as a bargaining chip (not that the EU is any better).

I see the city is threatening a significant departure!
