i voted out, scotland did not vote to stay as many think, it was not a vote about scotland as some are intent to make it
we voted two years ago, i voted for independence then we lost, the majority won, end of story.
it seems the remains can't handle losing the brexit vote, the majority has spoken accept the peoples choice.
the merchants of doom are having a field day, with every thing being blamed on brexit. just waiting on the weather being worse now.brexit getting the blame
it seems if anyone iwho is proud of their county is branded a racist nowadays
just proof to me who the real uneducated are
Here's a personal perspective: When I first heard the news of our imminent departure, and once the shock had subsided a bit, I was left with a gut - wrenching sense of loss. Of course the democratic process is sacrosanct, and the 'majority' has spoken, and I would never deny the right of the majority, any more than I would deny turkeys the right to vote for Christmas if they so choose. The 'scaremongers' who predicted that the British economy would suffer if we left were right, actually, so let's not call them scaremongers any more; rather people who had some idea of that which would happen, although I suspect that even their dire predictions will fall short of the eventual actuality. Anyway, 'tis done now, and for me the most disappointing aspect of the immediate aftermath has been the lack of any sense of a way forward from here by our 'leaders', and those who aspire to power. To stay with the farmyard analogy, by comparison a headless chicken may be said to have a well developed sense of direction. I haven't lived in Britain for well over a decade, and have no intention of going back in the foreseeable future, but England is my spiritual home, and I am I think as English as the next person. Over the past years, however, I have developed an underlying sense of being European, and have been proud of that, and that is what I feel has now been taken from me, and I mourn its' loss. I feel sad for the country of my birth, and although nobody can with any certainty predict what will happen from now on, I fear for her future, and hope that I am proved wrong.

Originally posted by Trev33I think its called democracy and whichever way you voted, there will always be those who disagree with the way votes tend to go. What makes it silly and immature is name calling and vitriol comments.
Thanks for making it cheaper for me to visit N. Ireland but otherwise what a bunch racist, narrow-minded, gullible idiots.

people talk about the lies that they had been sold and yet ... we went happily to war on the say so of other politicians. And even when it was shown that we did not have the consent of other nations there to guide and instruct... we went anyway and when the work was done, we buried our heads in the sand and left the chaos and said, not my problem. Come on people. When we are low, we lift or heads and carry on, what we learn from getting knocked down is... we can stand back up.
