Looks like we're heading for a deep recession, taking down much of Europe with us on that path. My kid's future prospects for just about everything are now adversely affected - education, healthcare, culture, travel. My own immediate prospects also seeing as the company I work for does a lot of work in Europe.<br /><br /> Meanwhile, as I posted on here a day or two ago, I don't believe many of the reasons people voted Leave are at all valid and I don't believe the government we're about to get from it are going to do anything good for those people either. And the main opposition party look like they're about to oust their leader and hop back on the immigration controls bandwagon that already failed them last GE, based on a 4 point gap in this referendum. It's an absolute joke.<br /><br /> I'm not really sure, Jon, what kind of reaction from us you'd be hoping for. Nobody's threatening civil war or to somehow 'undo' it, the vote is done and dusted. At some point in the next few days I wish to progress past grief and bitterness to some kind of hope that somehow we can rescue a good future out of this but right now I am not optimistic so please do share any thoughts you have along those lines, I would truly welcome it.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41766.29&return_msg=41766.22" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41766.29"> <span class="rating">+3/3</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41766_30"></a><div class="message" id="message_41766_30"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: JonCooper<span class="message_time">24 Jun 2016 14:19</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: milko <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 24 Jun 2016 14:32"></span></span> <span class="message_count">30 of 93</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41766.30">41766.30</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41766.22#a41766_29" target="_self">41766.29</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I genuinely don't understand the whole "<span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><span style="font-size:11.52px;">grief and bitterness" aspect</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:11.52px;">I have been hoping for this day for over 20 years and I'm amazed it has finally come</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:11.52px;">Do you really think our country is so shit we can't decide things for ourselves any more? are we so dumbed down that we have to be told what to do?<br /><br /> Why will "</span></span><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><span style="font-size:11.52px;">education, healthcare, culture, travel be adversely affected" ? we will have more money available for things like that.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:11.52px;">I see a bright new future ahead, we can make our own trade deals deal with the whole world, we can choose our own immigration policy, our fishing, farming, etc will be conducted more fairly.

Although leave was instigated and led by racist and nationalist scum like Farage and UKIP, I don't believe it is accurate or fair to cast all people with concerns about EU immigration crowding out jobs, housing and benefits, as 'racist'. There's a lot of wealth in Britain, but it was the poorest who bore the brunt of the impact. Due to lack of education, and/or poor information sources, those who are unable to work out who and what is really to blame, but desperate to lash out at anything with a target painted on it for them.<br /><br /> 2. There was never a referendum about joining the EU, correct? Nobody got asked.<br /><br /> 3. I personally feel, without a shred of evidence, that the result could *also* be interpreted as a referendum on the failed and harmful policies of Cameron and Osborne and predecessor governments (Blair, Brown) and the ruling elites who have benefited handsomely from these same policies. Yeah, the ones who fronted the Remain campaign. The cycle of general elections has long been a hopeless charade, with lots of people feeling their voices, opinions and votes are considered irrelevant. So this was their one chance to stick it to the man, a populist revolt unfortunately hijacked by sleazy demagogues like Boris.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41766.31&return_msg=41766.22" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41766.31"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="message_page_footer"> <ul> <li class="right_col"><form accept-charset="utf-8" method="get" action="lmessages.php" target="_self"><input type="hidden" name="webtag" id="webtag" class="bhinputtext" value="DEFAULT" dir="ltr" /><input type="hidden" name="msg" id="msg" class="bhinputtext" value="41766.32" dir="ltr" /><input type="submit" name="submit" id="keep_reading" value="Keep reading…" class="button" /></form></li> </ul> </div> </div> </body>
