When the UK voted by 52% to leave the EU those that were on the "Leave" side never expected to win. Not because they did not believe in what they voted for and not because they did not understand what they were voting for but because - most people in the UK do not get listened to above the roar of the experts and those who have self appointed themselves as knowing best. Their voices are quietened throughout life. Giving us, the British people a chance to finally put their heads over that wall and take a peek at what could be possible was exciting and life giving. We looked at a Britain we could have and wanted. We don't know how the UK will look outside of the EU but the people who voted to leave did know what it looked like for them in it. No one on the "Remain" side gave them a glimpse of a life any different for them by staying within the EU. Saying we have now ruined the future for our children to work and live in the EU is a total non starter as for the vast majority of children in the UK this is not ever going to happen. They do not live in that World and probably never will. Some do not ever want to live in that World either. Saying that the voter's that voted to Leave are racist, uneducated, aged, xenophobic thugs is frankly unacceptable and it leads me to wonder who exactly are the "Bigots". "Who are these people that voted leave?" With the hate directed at those that voted leave is it any wonder that instead of standing up and saying "it was me" they are just hoping that their voices will be heard and not once again squashed by those that believe they know best. They dare not believe that their voices finally matter. There are still those that are trying their best to overturn the vote. Sadly they have the money to keep trying. The BBC is so bias that it is a total waste of time watching the main news hours as so much is cut out we do not get a balanced view. The Nissan assurance was great news but there are those that want to scupper it. If Nissan had pulled out of Sunderland the "remainers" would of been thrilled to say "see, what you have done! This is your fault". However, it's great news. They so did not want that! We have 650 members of Parliament. If you want to know both sides of the debate then watch "Parliament" or the news as it happens. There is a site that tells you what is being debated and when. Watch it or record it and hear both sides instead of getting your so called "facts, figures & clipped sound bites" from a news hour, bias media (both ways), social media snippets & Winnie the Pooh! On Monday Parliament sat and shouted at each other in a packed, standing room only house relating to the "ruling" on Friday. The clipped news did show some of the arguments but once again very bias. On Tuesday the debate was on "Grammar and all faith schools and the Governments plan to expand them. There were 23 MPs' in the house. 23 on an issue that will affect all of our children not just the select few. This was not show on the news at all that evening. I haven't taken anyone's sound-bites on this. I have observed, thought about, actively looked for full debates on issues and listened to them. For those that have your heads just looking over that wall, stand proud that no matter what the future holds you had your voice heard and no one will ever forget that lesson. Peace and tolerance to all
