to still be cross about the outcome of the EU referendum?

[mynamesnotsam]

I'm still so angry and can't forgive those who voted to leave. After the result there was much talk of how the two sides must put aside their differences but I don't feel there has been any attempt to try to appease the 48.1% of people who voted to stay. I also want to rip the head off any one who says it's the will of the people. They should be legally obligated to say it's the will of 51.9 % of the people who voted. If the vote had gone the other way you can bet that UKIP would still be making a huge fuss about it but remainers are expected to "just get over it"!

Corbyn is a lifelong Euro skeptic. I can't really blame him for not being very vocal Remainer, he could have and should have, however, appointed someone else to lead a coherent Remain campaign on Labour's behalf.

Like someone said upthread I don't blame voters, I blame Cameron for gambling the future of his country at a huge risk. The referendum should have never happened. There is a reason we don't have government by direct democracy - because stupid shit like this happens!

As you feel like ripping the head off anyone who doesn't agree with you, feel free to want to rip my head off if you like, but honestly, get a fucking grip and get over it already.
I say this as someone who voted remain as well!
People voted. If you don''t like the result, you can't waaaah waaah waaah and cry and demand everyone keep doing it again until you get the "right" answer.

Me too, I'm still raging for so many different reasons and I don't think I will ever forgive those people who caused it, voted for it and are now actioning it. I include close family in that. Even more so now job losses directly caused by Brexit are being actioned by close relative's employers.

^different close relative's firm I should say. Different generation to the ones who voted leave.

This thread is just giving yet more opportunity for Remain voters to hurl insults at Leavers. I voted Remain, and my wonderful, kind, generous parents voted Leave. I have NO problem with that. And I know they have no problem with me.

People vote the way they want....I actually feel ashamed of Remain voters. Hurling insults and non-stop whining!!! GET OVER IT!!!

There are 16 million people in Britain who voted to remain, and millions more who failed to back Brexit by not voting. They are entitled to express their views. That’s democracy. Get used to it.

I'm still seething too. My wider family are already suffering the fallout and I'm gutted that my children won't have the same opportunities as we've had for living and working in Europe. Also concerned that economically things are likely to be tougher for them.

We'll make the best of things of course but some of their opportunities will have been lost.

About 64% of registered voters aged 18-24 went to polls

I think the young did vote

Honestly I don't think it is human nature to "just get over" things that you fundementally disagree with. When half the country is unhappy (which was going to be the outcome no matter which way the vote went) then you're really a bit fucked.

Well said, LastGirl. I'm the same, as in I voted Remain but quite a few of my family voted Leave.
To people saying they can never forgive close family as they don't share their viewpoint - presuming they're a loving family to you I find that incredibly sad.
I think people forget nowadays that you are actually allowed to hold different opinions - there isn''t just one blanket fits all opinion that everyone has to have as guess what? We're all individuals!

You are not alone, OP.

I am still furious. Nothing at all will ever convince me that Brexit is a good idea.

I don think I'll ever stop being angry when I think of the utter mess that Brexit is going to be.

I heard James O'Brien say 'if I was on a plane and the passengers voted to let a drunk man fly the plane, I'd keep shouting how crazy and wrong it was, right until the plane crashed'.

It may have been an incredibly close vote and practically split 50 50 down the middle, but to those still "wanting to rip heads off" and falling out with family are you seriously telling me that if Remain had only slightly won, you'd be entertaining the idea of Leave trying to overturn the result?
Balls you would.
It'd be a case of tough boobles and it'd no doubt have gone ahead anyway.

The referendum should have never been held in the first place.

My wider family are already suffering the fallout

In what way? Elaborate? Genuine question as curious.

I'm with you OP - still angry and getting increasingly fed up of being called a Remoaner and ordered to 'pull together' with those who have got us into this mess. Am incensed at how the Brexiteers are effectively trying to silence half the population. The whole situation is a car crash that massively jeopardises our economy and risks turning the UK into an offshore tax haven. Currently cheering myself up by planning slogans for the pro-EU march in London on March 25th. And no, I won't get over it.

livia I couldn't agree more the insults being thrown around at the people who voted to leave are disgusting.

According to the remainers (especially on this thread) everyone who voted leave are stupid/racist/don't know their own mind...those throwing these insults are worse than the ones you are insulting.

No one knows what's actually going to happen once we fully leave as it's unprecedented so the doom and gloom is your personal opinion not cold hard fact.

Those who are the hardened remainers need to seriously calm down - the majority of the UK gave their opinion - it differs from yours but it doesn't mean they are stupid/racist/believe everything they read/haven't got a clue they just have a different opinion

It'd be a case of tough boobles and it'd no doubt have gone ahead anyway.

It's not really the same, though, is it? Remain would have been to maintain the staus quo, and hopefully a close result would have been a rocket up the arse of the main parties.

Leave is the complete upheaval of our economy, (and workers rights, freedom of movement, european identity) possibly -likely- for the worst. That's not something people who are scarcely coping as it is can just get over.

Well said, LastGirl. I'm the same, as in I voted Remain but quite a few of my family voted Leave.

Most of my family voted leave, well, it was all of the older generation. The racist bile they have been spouting since is awful, I hate it. They have always been racists, and their casual racism has been the background noise of my childhood. Since the referendum their racism has been given a whole new lease of life, as far as they're concerned, they have now been proven right and the rest of the country agree with them.

I don't even want to forgive their veiwpoint even if I could and I don't think that's sad.

soo what evidence have you got that workers rights will change? There are no facts, there has been no policies put forward to suggest we will suddenly repeal any UK legislation that was a product of EU rules, the remainers state that we wouldn't have these rules if it wasn't for the EU - how do you know? We were in the EU so you can't say with certainty what would have happened if we weren't

How do you KNOW how it's all going to pan out though?! It hasn't even happened yet. To be of the mindset of all doom and gloom before anything has even happened is alien to me.
It's the modern equivalent of them sandwich board people who go around with "the end is nigh" strapped to themselves.
The constant negativity and disallowing anyone to have a differing opinion completely flies in the face of free speech and democracy which is what I'd have thought we'd all have wanted.

OP: YANBU.

Can't even be arsed to rtft at this stage. Will never forgive and forget. Leaving this country first, something I never thought I'd say until last June. Luckily my family has options!

I have no evidence that they will change, but without changing them I fail to see how we will attract business to the UK once we leave the single market.

I could be wrong. I sincerely hope I am.

People who didn't support joining the EU and opposed the Maastricht Treaty etc have been allowed to bang on about it for DECADES but Remainers aren't even allowed a few months to register their discontent? Right...
