People love a bit of an idealogical kick about but im sensing that as far apart as people are, we're all now unsure of what comes next and are on the same page with that. On a basic level we all love our country and no matter our differences want it to succeed. People have different ideas about how to achieve that aim, but we all want to see a better tomorrow for our kids. I have no idea what comes next or who wins or loses. We've cast our votes and now its out of our hands regardless of whether we're dead set on our vote or have buyer remorse. it's all down to MPs now.

Agree with Sir Funt. Nice post. Just don't let David Lammy influence anyone. He wants to vote the result out of parliament. British values and all that. Queuing, losing with good grace. Decorum.

3 cheers for Dave.

Hip hip hooray, Hip hip hooray, Hip hip hooray.

Now goodbye.

The Brits usually turn up at the discotheque and start the party after all the euros have gone to bed.

I heard about girls irate that we'd left the EU because that's where they go on holiday, go clubbing and go clubbing with euro youngsters.

Not my own words but....

A Prime Minister resigned. The £ plummeted. The FTSE 100 lost significant ground. But then the £ rallied past February levels, and the FTSE closed on a weekly high: 2.4% up on last Friday, its best performance in 4 months. President Obama decided we wouldn't be at the 'back of the queue' after all and that our 'special relationship' was still strong. The French President confirmed the Le Touquet agreement would stay in place. The President of the European Commission stated Brexit negations would be 'orderly' and stressed the UK would continue to be a 'close partner' of the EU. A big bank denied reports it would shift 2,000 staff overseas. The CBI, vehemently anti-Brexit during the referendum campaign, stated British business was resilient and would adapt. Several countries outside the EU stated they wished to begin bi-lateral trade talks with the UK immediately. If this was the predicted apocalypse, well, it was a very British one. It was all over by teatime. Not a bad first day of freedom.

Whose words? 'Obvs' not those of The Guardian.

'Soz', my bad.

Seriously, whose words?

From the Brexit page on FB. Obviously partisan but good reading nonetheless.

Just for you, but I think it sums up nicely how we should go on.......

Going by some posts on here i reckon we have a really good case to have the cup final replayed. After all we were slightly, percentage wise, in the minority inside wembley but the majority got their wish and manure won. They also only scored 2 goals to our 1 which is the narrowest possible winning margin so it should be called void and we should go again and again until we get what we want and win the cup.

I've been lurking, reading, taking this thread in. Whilst I won't indulge in the willy waving, I will say this; not all us young 'uns who voted to Remain are sour, or bitter, about the specific decision to leave the EU; currencies bounce back, markets recover etc.

What I think is happening, if I can draw on anecdotal evidence, is there's a generation disillusioned with the country they live in, and the social commentary this whole thing has provided; it has supposedly legitimized racism, xenophobia and discrimination. I'm far more aggrieved at the turn out for young people than I am the older generation deciding a future they won't get to see, so my generation (and younger) have only theirselves to blame. The disinterest in politics is a lengthy subject, whether that be social disconnect, political betrayal or the fact that we're particularly guilty of taking things for granted, but all of this has been exacerbated by one thing; poor campaign messages and a lack of leadership, particularly for the Remain Campaign.

It's abdunatly clear that the Leave Campaign used lies, misinformation and downright myths to win people over, and the Remain campaign was woefully undercooked, lacked conviction and failed to actually influence fence-sitters. Personally, despite voting Remain, I have no issue in principle with leaving the EU, but a hell of a lot of my friends and people I know voted in an attempt to show solidarity and defiance against a UK where Nigel Farage can be taken seriously.

Fundamentally, it disgusts a lot of us to see people beating their chest, proclaiming they've got their country back, calling out Europeans to pack their bags and reveling in a mindset that has no place in a modern world. Not all leavers are racists, and I'd certainly not wish to undermine anyone's opinions or views, particularly fellow HOL'ers, but to say we're all sour and bitter is just wrong. We're disillusioned to see the country so split, for so many social dinosaurs legitimized and for so many to be hoodwinked by myths and misinformation.

It is what it is; I don't like it, I'll continue to be disheartened by some of the views and actions others are taking, and I worry about where this rabbit hole leads, but all any of us can do is role up our sleeves and get on with it.
