I can feel the mood among Remainers, both IRL and online changing.

I think that the majority of people who still want to leave are either thick or they just are the type of person who never admits they were wrong. Either that or they are like the politicians who promoted brexit while making sure that they will not have to live with the consequences.
This definitely

thebabessavedme · 13/03/2019 08:49

oh yes hamster - with bells on

diabeticsanon · 13/03/2019 08:52

succession of governments that haven't given a toss about people like you tory and labour folks all as bad as each other,so it doesn't really matter which way you vote they shit on you.

ItsAllGone19 · 13/03/2019 09:16

I'm in a state of petulant anger. When I see bad things happen related to Brexit that affect the fucking idiots that voted for it I'm happy. I'm beyond furious that a vote that wasn't legally binding is being used to tear the country to pieces.

I sincerely wish destitution and pain on every single person that voted leave.

beenandgoneandbackagain · 13/03/2019 09:26

I'm angry.

Normally when the Government want to create a scapegoat they and the media start "othering" the chosen target (muslims, single mums, etc.) and dehumanising them.

I don't think they need to waste their time doing this with the thick racist idiots who voted leave. And before any lever says "stop calling us thick and racist" I can say in absolute honesty, I have not personally met anyone who voted leave who wasn't a thick racist.

3in4years · 13/03/2019 09:30

I second everything that Grundtal said.

diabeticsanon · 13/03/2019 15:29

i'm not thick and i'm not a racist thank you been you'd probably call me snobby irl but that would say more about you than it does me. i really do not care what some random on mn thinks tbh so just wind your neck in.

PercyGherkin · 13/03/2019 15:35

Angry, and getting angrier by the day. 16 days to go and no plan. If we're going to leave, I wouldn't agree but I would accept that result if we'd had a referendum about the options on the table - not the £350 million unicorns on the side of a bus.

I'd like us to revoke Article 50 but since I think that's unlikely I'd go for extend (with EU permission), second referendum, and go with the results. Of course, that would require a referendum without Russian (or anyone else's) interference...

diabeticanon

It looks like you do care though...

Songsofexperience · 13/03/2019 17:33

I feel like screaming every time a politician mentions "the will of the British people" as if we all want brexit to happen and it has nothing to do with them.

Indeed, or as if remainers were not part of the British people. That's terrible.

DarkAtEndOfTunnel · 13/03/2019 17:59

UnfinishedKitchen, I voted remain. I don't think I brought up north and south, but since you have told me I did, look at the variety of job opportunities available in the north compared to the Midlands, let alone London.

I have been fucking angry for years. I've watched the goalposts move all my adult life. I've watched house prices rise and no one give a flying fuck until the mouthy middle classes suddenly discovered they couldn't have everything they thought they were entitled to on a silver plate any more. I've done the working 2 jobs to pay a rich landlord's mortgage while he laughed at me for doing it. I still voted remain because it was obvious there was no plan whatsoever and it is impossible to be in a better situation outside the EU than in, and it is not worth it until the broken British economy is rebuilt entirely from the ground up (not the top down).

AnyWalls · 13/03/2019 18:24

I'm just amused to be honest.

Pk37 · 13/03/2019 18:25

I’m angry that the majority wanted this so bad but with no thought to how it would actually work .
It’s bloody ridiculous and they were severely short sighted

RMogs · 13/03/2019 18:34

I was shocked, sad, then angry in 2016. Now I am at the point of being tired and just want a decision, However as we are looking to emigrate, and both DH and I could apply for Irish citizenship if need be, I feel more like a rat preparing to leave a sinking ship (However it's what's best for my family, so not to sorry or guilty)

KennDodd · 14/03/2019 08:43

I'm fucking furious this morning. Trying to calm down and not tell everybody on Facebook who voted leave to fuck off for the damage they have done to this country and my children's future, unfriend me I want nothing to do with you anymore. The only possible so called benefit from leaving the EU is getting rid of foreigners and if you really hate foreigners so much you would willingly see this much damage done to the country then absolutely you are a racist.

I think that the majority of people who still want to leave are either thick or they just are the type of person who never admits they were wrong. Either that or they are like the politicians who promoted brexit while making sure that they will not have to live with the consequences.
Completely agree.

semp i was making the point if someone wants to insult me that's fine, but as they do not know me what gives them the right to do so?

bellinisurge · 14/03/2019 08:51

Screwing with my DD's future by plunging the country into a No Deal abyss gives me the right to be a bit cross with anyone who supports no Deal.

surferjet · 14/03/2019 08:57

KennDodd & other angry remainers -
& I mean this kindly.
Why do you spend so much time on social media if it annoys you so much?
some of you are on here all day, & if you’re also on FB & Twitter you must end the day with a headache.
Why? Do you enjoy getting wound up?
MN is the only social media I’m on, never been on Twitter & deleted FB ages ago.

TheWomanin12B · 14/03/2019 08:58

Had a conversation with MIL where she completely denied the effects of Brexit, which we actually are definitely experiencing as a family and I want to scream at her. They have become more radicalised over the last 2 years and have gone from favouring Norway+ to crash out No Deal.

Honestly don't know how I will speak to them again if it is No Deal and my children are in the slightest bit affected. You are supposed to want better for your descendants. Not wish some 'character building' hardship on them because you imagine you survived WW2 and people rallied round.

It won't be like that. It just won't.

Yeah, angry today.

(fuck off Daily Mail, you don't have permission to use this quote, although she would actually read my thoughts then without me having to start a massive rowWink).

lalasmum11 · 14/03/2019 08:59

Watching this from abroad and we were commenting that in any other country the people would be out protesting, getting the politicians to be accountable. The British politeness has got in the way. The politicians are a disgrace.

surfer you have a very valid point it must headache inducing. that's part of why they are so angry.

diabeticsanon · 14/03/2019 09:20

kenn did surfer mention how they voted ? why tear a strip off a stranger who might not have voted at all ? Confused

bellinisurge · 14/03/2019 09:20

If just one lurker sees how fucking stupid this shitshow is, that is a start.

SparklySneakers · 14/03/2019 09:22

Surfer is a confirmed leaver. Voted leave, would still vote leave as evidenced on many a thread.
