will a lot of the leave voters be watching the news and wondering WTAF they've done?

[ssd]

I know there's loads of threads and I apologize. Please don't post if you are sick of them.

But surely leave voters cant wake up pleased when they have sat in front of the telly and heard the news channels today?

No they'll stick their fingers in their ears and say 'la la la, not listening, not my fault!' While telling Remainers to stop insulting them and calling them racist because that's not why they voted how they did. Buggered if I know why they chose chaos and uncertainty over the relative stability and a recovering economy.

Apparently "it's all going to be fine" and we should "calm down now"

Or as apparently only 25% of 18-25 year olds voted will they wish they had actually bothered to!

Oh and they'll also try to tell us it's short term pain for long term gain or some such. I'll tell my friends and family that while they're contemplating a future without jobs or a home.

I can't get my head around the "meh, we'll have a recession, short term pain" attitude.
Do any of these people really understand what that means?
Have they any idea of what "short term pain" does to ordinary people?

It's "just a blip" apparently....

They'll be telling themselves that the "pain" will only be short term and then we will have new and better future. They will have no idea how the brighter future will occur though. They will keep telling themselves that things are going to get better as we plunge deeper into recession and even when they finally wake up and smell the coffee, they will try to convince themselves that it would have happened anyway. Indeed they may claim that it would have been even worse if we had remained in the EU.

No - of course there was going to be a down turn. That Was expected.

The images that stick with me just now are on the bbc news, 2 images...first one is an old man in a cap with army written on it crying and saying I've got my country back...the second one is a woman saying we've got England back, this is our England.....these people and plenty like them have decided our kids futures....for the first time ever I dont believe in democracy anymore, sometimes people are just too ignorant to be allowed to decide others futures.

The problem is our country is now going straight up shit creek

We may like to hate bankers but they are a huge part of our economy

Ah, that's alright then. So what's the plan now?

No they'll just find a new scapegoat e.g Jews, Muslims, gay marriage undermining Christian values or some such.

Why would any body want this for their own children? :(

Exactly capricorn

They won't think anything, some of them. They are incapable

You watching bbc news ssd? Me too :(
How can they not regret it. Simple, they dont watch the news.

(And i am very aware that the news is not always the most accurate source of info, before anyone points that out)

My parents (I've already mentioned this a few times) voted remain. They wont be watching the news as they and my godparents are sunning themselves in their own villa they have spent about 3 weeks of the last year in the uk.

The people around me dont watch the news, they dont usually vote. But it was different this time as they have to "get them out".

yes beyond, I am.

its totally gutting.

they voted remain beyond?? not leave?

If these ignorant folks go down, ki don't wanna go down with them.

It really is astounding, our future is so uncertain, but according to my mother, who voted leave, it will all be ok

I know three "Bregetters" already. All hadn't the foggiest what they were voting for.

Balls, i meant leave

On the news last night they were interviewing several 'Leave' voters who were crowing about 'getting ENGLAND back' and 'saving the NHS'.

Anyway, they featured one lady, who they had followed before the vote. She wore a 'Vote Leave' T shirt and had festooned her house with Union Jacks etc. So they knocked on her door on Friday morning to ask for her reaction to the vote.

She opened the door, they said "How do you feel?" She said "About what?". They said "About the vote".. she said "Oh, did we win? I didn't know". Interviewer says "Errr, go and turn your TV on"

She. Hadn't. Even. Bothered. To. Watch. The. News.

That summed it all up for me.

Littlemiss I've seen you on a couple of threads with the "only 25% of young people voted" info. Do you have a source for that?
