Has anyone got any strategies? I am genuinely not one for melodrama, but I am devastated, angry, terrified, depressed, and I feel so utterly helpless. Nothing in my lifetime has made me feel like this, and I just can't imagine feeling like this for the next two years and beyond. I can hardly bear to listen to the news, but I feel compelled to anyway. How are other remainers dealing with this, what are your coping strategies? And what, if anything, can we DO?

Cos nothing compares
Nothing compares to EU

Is it wrong that I laughed at this?

optionalrationale · 05/04/2017 21:13

Brimpton it may not get past the turnitin test. But I'm sure you wold enjoy it

I hope you won't be doing the proof reading Grin

Read the article before the come back rather than scanning to find the part that fits your version of the truth. Liking the bite back. Goes with your hands

Try talking to some EU immigrants. Try talking to someone. You may find your version of narnia is way out there

Blind faith following the emperors new clothes. This isn't a win. But it's ok. I know you aren't ready to acknowledge that yet. It's the 5 stages of grief.

Imjustapoorboy · 05/04/2017 21:18

Brimpton it won't matter. The audience wouldn't notice

Imjustapoorboy · 05/04/2017 21:20

I've got one. Que farage farage. What ever will be will be.

The future is fucked you see. Que farage farage

You know that is just too easy it's boring

Imjustapoorboy
Your article from The Grauniad basically says "A person found dead, had also been worried about Brexit".

Cogent, compelling and convincing. I have just joined the LibDems. Jimmy Fallon will make a wonderful, wonderful prime minister. Which EU Article gets us back in?

Imjustapoorboy · 05/04/2017 21:36

Good for you optional. It will be a lovely change I am sure in the libdems

Will you miss the short hair and shiny boots of your current friends?

optionalrationale · 05/04/2017 21:43

Imjustapoorboy what is your proposal? If you believe the future is fucked - what do you think we should all do?

BromptonOratory · 05/04/2017 21:44
