To not be able to speak to my near neighbours who voted leave?

TooMuchCoffeeMakesMeZoom · 24/06/2016 23:43

My children's future has been put at stake. Our economy risks ruin. Our relatively -well-off neighbours in a place with nearly full employment and very low recent immigration (local care companies and NHS are desperate for staff) have voted leave. They are only around fifty.

I'm gobsmacked.

The irony is that the small business they are in is affected by the growth of China as an economic powerhouse. So why on earth do they feel that leaving the EU gives them more power? It gives them less.

I am so angry and feel so let down by my country. These people, and people like them ahem destroyed my hopes for a continued peace in Europe.

How on earth am I expected to talk to them on an equal footing, knowing what they have done through their own greed?

Dh and I are opposing views....imagine that Shock

Brexiters in my mind are pretty thick, and if Boris gets voted in by you all then that would really be the thickest icing on that crumbling cake

And what on earth leads you to believe that the people who voted to leave the EU will vote Boris in? The two scenarios do not go hand-in-hand. This is just you and your ilk making silly assumptions. (Brexit and Bremain are particularly infantile terms, IMO. So annoying).

Ooops here we are joking and just popped up to bed and there is a sheet rigged in the center of the room, a la - It Happened One night.

DH tells me, he will soon erect a wall down the center of the house. Sad

Haha!!

Well remembered Rain! Grin

Had my MRI & cast still on for another 2 weeks.
Am very disgruntled...

Emily You are referring to the poster of the people snaking into Europe from last year. I asked my friend whether she found it offensive, because she has a mixed race child (father African) and she replied "If anyone should be offended, it would be me and I am NOT".

As you should Blue. Respect. Stand up to racism. You have to be tough about this. X

I wonder, SheSaid were you this fired up when the Cologne sex attacks took place?

DianaRoss · 27/06/2016 22:24

OP sounds very intolerant, I must say.

DianaRoss · 27/06/2016 22:28

I'm heartbroken that our little ones won't have the freedom and advantages to work and travel around the EU as freely as we could... because of the selfish

Oh jeez, get over yourself. We travelled to Europe without visas before the EEC and will do so again. Getting a work permit was just a bit of extra paperwork.

herecometrouble · 27/06/2016 22:33

I think you need to firstly stop drinking the coffee. It's not helping you. Secondly, has anyone 'attacked' you in such as public manner. Thirdly, if you truly feel that this country is good and of value. Then work in it, add value too it, assist in it's development. Show the next generation that tolerance of view is the way forward. This country you are so passionate for is good because of the people in. Let's work positively, Brexit is not just something this country faces. We are just the first to be brave enough to give it ago.

emily The far Left is just as dangerous as the far Right. They are both totalitarian in outlook like ...errr .... the EU!

fakenamefornow · 27/06/2016 22:45

I sympathise OP. I have a relative who is very vocal about out, hates immigration and immigrants, she also seems to be loving this mess and saying we are all just getting what we deserve. I think she voted out because she hates the UK because we've become so multicultural over the last few decades and she wants to punish us. She knew how damaging out would be.

DianaRoss · 27/06/2016 22:47

Boris is just as bad, calling black people piccaninnies.

Oh dear. Do you have ANY idea at all about what Whites are called by Asians, Africans, Chinese, etc? Not complimentary at all. Do you think epithets happen only one way? Do you know that other white Europeans incl Scots have names for the British which are not complimentary either. You are full of hate for the British and it comes across.

Brexit · 27/06/2016 22:49

But we have white privilege so it doesn't count.

Do keep up at the back.

CremeEggThief · 27/06/2016 22:52

YANBU, I've got rid of everyone I know or suspect to have voted Leave. I left it 4 days, but I just can't forgive them.

the EU the vast white fortress keeping out all other nations Confused,

anyone see the black writer on the final debate? shooting down anyone who tried to tell her the EU was better for her and migrants? she was livid and rightly so.

fake - thats awful, people using people like that to punish people like Blair opening up the doors to EE immigration to " rub the rights nose in it".

DianaRoss · 27/06/2016 22:58

Can I call UKIP white supremacists, Mumsnet? Neo Nazis? Racists?

They are not any of those labels. If you think Ukip is white supremacist, then what do you think the politicial Muslim Engagement and Development group is?

Dear god, people are conducting Stalinist witch-hunts amongst their friends?

At least ask. Or, you know, hold a nice a show trial.
