To ask people to shut up about Brexit and to just live in the moment?

[yougotitdude]

I know its not going to end anytime soon.

But it's done. The decision has been made- nothing we can do about it.

Maybe we will hit a recession. Maybe most of us are fucked.

But until it happens- how about we all enjoy a large glass of and just accept what will be- will be.

And yes- I voted remain.

Don't worry about losing your jobs or feeling unwelcome in the country you live in! HAVE A GLASS OF WINE AND CHILL! Jesus.

No I'd rather not live in this present moment.... For us, our livelihood is likely to go and my partner will no longer have right to live here (been working and living here for 25 years)...

So, nope not living in the moment...

I've already tried

It's still shit, it's been 1 day. I'm still angry and I'm scared as hell. I need my job.

People on mn might have reasonable reasons to vote leave, no problem. Really, i have no problem with this at all. But here, all i heard yesterday was unbridled racism, talk of "them" now going home, a teacher told that as she is white and english speaking (oh how i wish that person knew she is lesbian ) she is "the kind we want". Really. People here have seen the result as an excuse to no longer hide how they feel about people with a bit more melanin than them. Its honestly (sorry to use a buzz word!) disgusting.

Let's live for the moment and look for the positives

And thus is why the general public have no place making important decision that will affect future generations. Face. Palm.

Hey kids, we've fucked your future up but you know, give a shit cos I just live for the moment, yeah, go me.

Can't stand when people belittle others for being upset and call the drama llamas just because they themselves are not directly affected. Some are actually losing jobs...not just "getting off on the moaning". Very insensitive

Well said fanjo

Hear hear!

Well the worlds still turning!

Nah, sorry. Still angry. It was yesterday.

My job is heavily involved with the EU and I'm on mat leave, so totally in limbo. Keep looking at 6 month old DS and wondering what is going to happen and how we're going to keep our heads above water if the worst happens. That's my moment. As moments go, it's not my most favourite ever.

Tried , just ended up sobbing...

Because obviously if we'd voted remain, the leave camp would have smiled graciously and not mentioned it again

People has already lost jobs. More will lose them. It's a bit fucking soon to tell people to get a grip. Putting a smile on their face isn't going to feed their children.

tbf, My "moment" is a bit crappy. Loads of tasks to do & I'm getting earfulls of complaints from teenager1 + teenager2's mom upset with something my teenager did this morning (urk, sleepover party with alcohol). Just hope my teen has the sense to grovel out an apology ASAP.

Referendum fallout is light relief, if I'm honest.

Regarding the freedoms of movement between the Irish Republic and UK the two countries have long had their own agreements based outside of the EU. In fact, the EU had recently started to challenge these agreements as being 'discriminatory' to other EU nationals.

As long as Boris is not elected as PM I might just about stem my tears of anger and disappointment. Meanwhile I will be enjoying my Australian, New Zealand wine. Which is going somewhat towards being positive about the important things.

Well I already know of people who's jobs are relocating abroad. I'm scared for my job. Many of my foreign born and even British born friends are making plans to leave if the economy tanks. I wish after 24hrs that I could just have a drink and forget about it but I can't.

Yesterday I heard stories of foreigners being asked when they would leave and even of children screaming at other children to 'get out of their country'.

float I know that we'll unfortunately the average racist prick on the street (and I mean the average of the racist pricks not the average of all people on the street) doesn't. Someone told me the Irish were only concerned about the referendum result because they're scared to have a load of Protestants coming back in. Not that it could affect their economy or anything

So patronising.

Brexiters were lied to just to get their vote and now the politicians leading the Brexit campaign are backtracking. They were lied to about the NHS, lied to about immigration, which was one of the main reasons people voted out. I imagine there are quite a few leave voters who are now seriously regretting their decision.

I am angry.
I am worried.
There's no future here for my children.

DH and I both have a very elderly, sick grandfather each. And we are starting to make plans to leave this fucked up country when they die.

Britain once used to be "great".
Britain has nothing now. Hardly any industry to boast of. We are just a little island with a lot of debt, naive to think we can now make it on our own.

So no, I won't shut up and have a glass of (probably French) wine.

We are fucked.
And I am no way proud to be a part of this country.

It's incredibly thoughtless and shitty to tell people who have lost or are losing their jobs, whose house sales have fallen through, who have no idea what their future now holds to just 'cheer up and have a glass of wine.' How exactly is that meant to help them?

It's been one day since a decision which will have massive impact on our lives had been made.

I'm angry
I'm really really worried.

So no, a glass of wine won't help.

You don't get to say "well it's done now get over it". The impact will go on for years. So I really don't think it's unreasonable to still be upset only one day later.

I love this. Someone at work tried it yesterday. 'yeah, it's one of, if not the most massive decisions the country has ever made, yes there will be repercussions on an epic scale, but it's been a few hours, can you be quiet now?

I'm pissed. Apathy is dangerous, as we've seen already with the millions who didn't bother to vote. It must be easy to shut up if you got what you wanted, but I'm not going to about the fragmentation of a country and continent I love for the sake of lies and stupidity.

Leave voters were not duped they wanted to believe that crap. They knew the NHS would not receive the money. The Remain campaign was based on facts, it had to be because it was led by the government. Leave weren't in government so they couldn't be held to any of their outlandish claims or offers. The Leavers were willingly seduced they were not naive victims.
