to think it's absoultely disgusting the way Remain supporters are talking about poorer members of society.

[2moreminutes]

I have seen so many messages on FB saying that the poorer members of society shouldn't have been allowed to vote.
Because apparently, some members of society aren't capable of making decisions for themselves.
How disgusting and patronising is that?

This is talk from people who are supposedly for the best interests of ALL people.

So how does the labour/lib dem 'ethos' work exactly?

It's good to help people.
As long as you don't ever give them any choice?

Nope. Can't say I've seen anything like that. So the thickos that you're friends with are indicative of people who voted Remain? Love the logic there OP. Really top class.

squoosh, I said the people on my Facebook feed, it says a lot about them doesen't it!

I've got two passports and shifted all my shares into worldwide equities a few months ago. Really happy about this now!

What we need now is to become Europe's tax haven so that we can screw those socialist dreamers out of every cent. The next step will be to tell those workshy lot in NI and Scotland to jump off a bridge.

Really looking forward to a bit more quantitative easing from Mark Carney too, hopefully can capture a few of the benefits from that too. Money is made on the ups and downs people!

I've hidden them, as quite frankly it is nasty and unpleasant, and not what democracy is about.

None of my FB friends have been rude or derogratory about either side but I have nice friends. You need to keep nicer company.

Mabey I do, I am shocked really, some I have known for years since school or college. Mabey I will have a very small friends list.

I'm a nice person and I have nice friends.

I do love this notion that democracy is about being nice and everyone getting along and respecting each other's views even when we disagree and not judging.

No but a civil life is about that in large part ime.

As the results were being announced last night some of the MN Brexiters were calling people 'sore losers'. As if they expected people to respond with a 'congratulations and jolly good show'.

It's not facebook it's all over mumsnet too

People on their high horse thinking 52% of population were wrong and of course they are right.

After indyref experience I'm into peace in public mode.

Cake indeed, but on hugely important issues that people are passionate about, I'm amazed at the extent to which some people expect niceness.

It's a British thing. Maintain a polite facade at all times. Because that's what's really important. Never mind that people have voted to fuck the country up the arse.

Oh god I'm not nice at all.

I have learned to be civil the hard way!

It's possible to calmly and politely strive for a better, more tolerant society, no? I am another survivor of the indieref - this has been worse IMO. and much more final.And I find myself almost feeling sorry for Ruth Davidson!!

Is a screaming face off useful?

There will be no utopia for ordinary workers under Brexit. No wage increases, no new jobs, no security. I'm so very, very sorry.

I have not seen anything like that at all. I don't understand why you'd keep people like that on your friends list.

I voted remain. I don't think a very right wing conservative government will be good for the north. I knew Cameron would go if we exited and the other options are more right wing.

My family live up there, I am in London. I've experienced the opposite of the OP.

I have had to hide several crowing Brexiters today because they think it's going to be happy days. I don't think it will be. I see further cuts ahead, and the north will be hit hard. I grew up under Thatchers government in the 80s, I'm thinking of those times and what could happen if the economy dives. I hope I'm wrong.

I respect people's right to vote for whoever, but it's hard to hold your tongue when relatives are lording it up on FB and calling you a traitor. Gotta love family

YOUR FB feed is made up of YOUR FRIENDS.

If you have dick friends who say disgusting things, thats your fault for having them as friends and choosing to read their shit.

And you know how they say you can judge a person by looking at their friends....

There will be no utopia for ordinary workers under Brexit. No wage increases, no new jobs, no security.

Nope and I wonder how long it will take for the realisation to dawn on them.

I have used the term " uneducated", to imply politically uneducated, which on the surface many of us are, we only really just scratch the surface on what the implications of being in or out are. I do however feel that some people have just jumped on the immigration band wagon without looking at the bigger picture.
