It seems that people thought we were voting for a new government last Thursday. WRONG! The government (that's not the blues ones, red ones or yellow ones but THE GOVERNMENT ) is still in power. It will be until we change the entire system. Seen any suddenly poor ex rich bankers since last Friday? Didn't think so. And you never will.

Omg enough reality checks, wake up calls and sudden realisations already. We get it the world is ending and it's the fault of the brexiteers and conservative voters. Can we move on now?

I had the misfortune to visit the Southover area today, and was dreading the return trip now Station Street is closed. I mentally tossed a coin for Rotten Row or St. andrew's Lane. I chose the latter- and despite about 3 cars in front, I barely had to slip the clutch on exit.
Life does indeed go on as normal. No more scaremongering!

I suppose one thing we've learnt is how skin deep belief in democracy is among 3 million or so of the Remainers. 'Oh, we didn't get the result WE wanted so let's do it again until we do.' No wonder they feel so comfortable with the EU neo-liberal project.

Clifford, are you talking about the petition started by a UKipper in the event of a 'leave' loss?
Yeh, thought so. Now what were you saying about skin deep beliefs?

Dear Clifford.
No we are following the lead of the brexit poster boy Farage who said just a few weeks ago that a 52-48 margin would not be a definitive result and he would fight for a second referendum. We are just doing what Nige wanted.

Don't you think remainers are going on about it to point out the massive mistake that has been made by a misinformed and misled electorate? There are so many negative sides to this result, and it's not surprising that we are hearing them. What we are not hearing meanwhile, is anything positive, and don't say we have taken back control, because we haven't (and that meaningless mantra is getting quite boring now)
