I meant somewhere else on mumsnet.
Let me be clear. I am not racist. I am not xenophobic (I'm an immigrant) I'm not stupid, uneducated, ignorant, selfish and inward looking, hateful etc. I'm dark brown and have a mixed race family. An educated person would be able to understand that patriotism and nationalism and being open and welcoming are not mutually exclusive concepts. You can be both. It is ironic that some people online spitting venom, hate, insults etc are the open armed, tolerant remainers. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be a self governed sovereignty.
There is nothing wrong with observing that, economically, your country can only support and accept manageable levels of immigration. That doesn't make me racist or xenophobic. . No one in the leave campaign has said they want zero immigration. And these are not the only issues that informed my decision. People have answered your questions ad nauseum in many threads on mumsnet. You want to blame me for everything, you go ahead.
I did what I felt is right for me and my family. You did what you feel is right for yours. If your side had won, I'd be disappointed but I wouldn’t stalk you all over mumsnet, or metaphorically burn your house down. None of the past three general elections made me happy. It wasn’t right for me and my family. In fact I hated the results. I didn't go around demonising all tory supporters and I've lived with the consequences of tory government. In my family jobs were lost, savings were decimated. We had dark times. Even though people voted for them, it's not those people's fault what happened in my family. They voted their conscience. The government did the deed.
I'm a grown up (not old.. under 40) so I accept the choice of the democracy in which I live, I choose to live the best way I can in the circumstances and even find a way to be happy. I suggest you all stop frothing at the mouth and do the same. All this bitterness will infect your lives.
