Somehow, don't ask me exactly how it happened, I seem to have reached the grand old age of 57. Last time I checked, I could've sw... -

A sad day, one that we'll feel the fallout from for many many years. Mark Thomas is one of my favourite raconteurs and he has, as usual, summed the whole farce up perfectly.

The phrase 'people are twats' pretty much sums up what I said this morning when I heard the awful news. So so disappointed in 51% of my, erm, fellow countrymen/women.
Unbelievable what happened yesterday. I can't find the right words and just sitting and shaking my head about those stupid people.
It's a bad day at hanging rock.
Fear and Loathing win out...The trend is beginning to spread...politics is a moot argument about moot arguments.
Gutted x100 and yet I keep telling myself that 48% are decent right-on honest respectable people like you and me so it can't be so bad even though it is.
Whatever bollocks I spout though the vote was 50/50 or bust. How could we ever have allowed ourselves to be sleepwalked into accepting that? In the 70s and 80s when we won things through Trade Unions and let it not be forgotten in boardrooms too, Two thirds majority were required to overturn existing agreements
I believe that a 60% majority, 75% turnout was tabled in the H o C but Cameron was too arrogant to go along with it ( despite that being what they want to impose on Trade Union ballots for industrial action...)
I live in Spain and from a selfish point of view all I really care about is the exchange rate and will I still get health care. But althouth I would have voted stay. I do think there is a lot of arrogance within the EU which might ultimateley bring it down.
