Planning a trip (by air) to Italy on 31st Oct staying 3 days - madness?

it was the citizens of the UK who voted for brexit and it was the citizens of the UK who voted each and every person in your government into Westminster, so I'm afraid the individuals who make up the nation need to accept some responsibility

I fail to see why I should take responsibility when I have never voted Tory in a general election in my life - and I voted to remain in the EU.

I have zero responsibility for this mess.

Oh and a lot of people who voted Tory - and for Brexit - are no longer resident in the UK. And a lot of people who would have voted against Brexit were denied a vote. By the Tory government of the time.

@berlinbabylon - I clarified up above. I'm only blaming a subset. Those who voted for brexit/pro-brexit parties and those who could have voted but didn't.

Or the Brexiters have been running to get Irish or German passports (in the case of Farage for his children). Or they have been rushing to move their money out of the UK. The blatant hypocrites. Why aren't they backing Brexit and being satisfied with UK citizenship, if that is what they think is wonderful?

@Peregrina - Or the Brexiters have been running to get Irish passports

I really, really begrudge them. Ian Paisley Jnr has been encouraging his constituents to get Irish passports which, considering his party's attitude towards Ireland, is a bit rich.

In my wildest 3am dreams, the EU offers an amnesty immediately after we leave and grants citizenship of an EU country of our choice for a limited period to people who voted to remain.
I know, of course it won’t happen. But wonder how many leavers would join the remainer ranks when the shit hits the fan and the implications of what they’ve done finally dawn on them.
Supermarkets planning rationing. Christ on a bike, “we” did this to ourselves.
