Just got back from Glastonbury. A poll there suggested I was in the 83% majority by voting Remain. When I get back to my constituency I'm in the 38% minority. Morons.
To quote Hugh Grant in Four Weddings and a Funeral: "Fuck it! Fuck! Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuckity fuck! Bugger."

Turkeys voting for Christmas. Especially in our neck of the woods.
It's like someone just flicked a switch and let out all of this country's vile, horrible, pent-up racism and xenophobia. I've heard things said openly in the last week that I hadn't heard since the 80s.
Oh, and we'll probably have Boris for PM.
Depressing. Terrifying. Frustrating.

As well as the horrible things people are saying, and the rise of shockingly racist and hateful criminal acts, since the result I can't even wait to enjoy the moment when they realise they've been duped because we're all going to suffer for this.

Not Boris then!!
Maybe we'll have that smiley Queen of charm, humour and tolerance, Theresa May?
Or maybe the creepiest man in politics, Michael Gove.
Meanwhile, the what's left of UK socialism is destroying itself.
Nye Bevan must be turning in his grave.

For once I don't blame our politicians.
I blame the 52%. What on earth did they think they were going to achieve?!

I really don't know.
I suppose if I believed that voters really did weigh up the facts (of which there were precious few) and then voted, I couldn't complain. However, I'm afraid it appears many voted "out" on the basis of the phrase "bloody immigrants" alone.
Staggering ignorance, irresponsibility and stupidity, with a large dose of British racism thrown in.
Despite my usual default optimism, I'm still in despair over what's happened, what's currently going on and what the future holds.
