I live near the huge airbus wing factory in Broughton, the Beluga flies over my house several times a day, thousand of families rely on their employment there, and not just one member of the family but some families have generations working there!

Tonight they've lost their patience with this ridiculous farce.

And my town voted leave!

Biggest facepalm ever, we're already suffering huge poverty, homelessness, drug use and higher crime levels as a result of Tory austerity. This town will not recover from this, not in my children's lives anyway. I'm getting more and more anxious over this. I have a career that would survive, but I don't want to watch people in my community, and my own family to suffer hardship. Especially if they didn't vote for this! I am yet to hear a positive argument, apart from 'project fear' and promises they can't back up.

It's a bloody joke! Sorry for the long post I'm fuming 😤

Disney, I'm fuming too.

I'm angry at how some people were targeted through Facebook ads, click baits, right wing media, Cambridge Analytica/ Aggregate IQ manipulation. Somehow some people have become radicalised to hate the EU and immigrants.

I'm angry at people like Crispin Odey who donated money to the Leave campaign and hedge against the pound so he made millions of money when the value of the pound went down.

The area voted leave, tbh its difficult to be sympathetic, especially as they also voted in a brexitier MP with a 3500 majority in 2017.

Its sad for UK PLC, however, we've a democratically elected Government who are going full steam ahead and the electorate voted Tory in 2015, knowing full well an eu vote was in their manifesto

Even after all the warnings over no deal, its still dismissed as project fear and Remain has no clear majority.........We've only ourselves to blame.

I presume those that voted leave realise that doing that ruled out any chance of a pay increase. Bleating to the unions won't work when the companies could well be on the way out and closing altogether is already an attractive option.

Watching channel 4 news last night made me really angry, Broughton local bloke in the corner shop stating how he voted leave and basically couldn't care less if Airbus went he would still vote leave, what a stupid belligerent sod he was. Some other older woman banging on about bananas even if she was being slightly tongue in cheek, it fills me with complete despair Angry

There's part of me that says 'well let them suffer if they asked for it' but then when you consider the diet of propaganda and lies fed to them for decades by people like Boris Johnson and the RW media, I feel like what else can you expect. Couple that with a crap education system that doesn't teach anyone to ask questions and a society that fears/hates those with education then its unsurprising really. And they STILL believe the lies!!! A lot of people have made and will make a ton of money from this, and the masses will suffer, so what? We can have blue passports and 'British pride'. Fuck pride.

I lost my national pride a long time ago, in fact every time I go abroad and see how Some Brit's treat people in the countries they are visiting, my shame gets more and more.

I wish we could shove them all off-shore and let them all 'take back bloody control' to their hearts content
