I voted Leave but don't deserve abuse for it !!!!

[AmyWatt1972]

Yesterday I voted to leave after months of thought about all the main issues regarding membership.

I decided to leave based on sovereignty, I don't want a closer EU/United States Of Europe. I don't want my son to be in an EU army.

Immigration and economics for me were lesser issues. But still influenced my vote.

The names on here and Twitter that have been directed at leave voters has astonished me.

I am not uneducated, racist or xenophobic. I simply want the best for my country and that IMO is leave and I am overjoyed with the victory today against all odds.

Maybe if those on the remain side looked more into the arguments instead of name calling it would have been a different result.

It shocks me that labour supporters on Twitter are saying these horrible names against leave voters, but they need us to get their seats in the north, I don't think it is a good idea to insult your own base.

Even on mumsnet rhetoric has been appalling, I have had posters say they can't bring themselves to speak to leave voting parents.

Why can't you just accept maybe that leave possibly has a better campaign/arguments.

This idea that many leave voters regret the vote is wrong, everyone I know who voted leave is in a joyous mode today.

Can we just move on now and accept the result instead of insulting 52% of the population.

This is what I hear.

That area is run down due to us sycophants wanting to keep our lovely lawns and big houses. Lets put them there then. We only want to cherry pick a bit of labour for god sake.

The right thing happened two days ago.

I'm incredibly annoyed at the result. People voted to leave without understanding the issues or as a protest. And they were lied to by the campaign and the papers. It's the wrong decision for the wrong reasons.

And I am angry with people who voted out.

I think the ?OP is a goody fucker.

But i am angry that so many people voted out without any real understanding of the issues or as a protest and the leave campaign has blatantly lied. I'm so upset at the result. The economy will tank, people in deprived areas will be worse off, and we've pissed of our largest trading partner and the city is screwed.

And yes I think some people who voted leave were blatantly racist.

Not all obviously. But now that leave are backtracking on the right to work across Europe free movement of workers, the ones who voted on the fewer foreign workers are in for a shock.

[beetroot2]

Im not in for a shock at all. I voted leave and come what may it's truly been worth it. It will go some way to halt immigration whether legislation stills allows this. The promised land no longer has that. Good enough for me.

How would this happen, do you think?

[beetroot2]

word of mouth maybe.

[JapanNextYear]

This charming man.

I can see from the other thread you're on that you don't go in for explanations of your thinking, but even by your standards, this is is piss poor.

The rich have been getting richer by allowing mass immigration from a certain class that weren't needed in the first place. It was allowed due to greed. Its going to stop. Im so happy that I've made the right decision in voting out.

You're going to be much less happy when you find out it's going to carry on because that's the only way we'll be allowed access to the single market.

Seriously, people can have whatever views they want about immigration, but because the EU has free movement, it doesn't actually matter whether it's a good thing or not. We're going to be made to have it too, regardless. This is why all those people who voted Leave because of immigration are going to get a nasty shock in the near future.

come what may it's truly been worth it.

This is a logical fallacy.

"The rich have been getting richer by allowing mass immigration from a certain class that weren't needed in the first place. It was allowed due to greed"

I can't get my head round this one.

How do you think the rich are getting richer due to immigration? How does that work exactly?

I want to know more about the sycophants with lovely lawns and big houses! Why was I not aware that was this referendum was about?
