For those of us quietly sad about leaving the EU.

I'm not making a song and dance about it. I'm not falling out with anyone over it. I dont want to debate it. I'm just sad about it.

And that's ok.

Anyone else with me?

A few bangs here, but not much. Feel slightly sick, but the bag of Minstrels I've worked my way through might be contributing to that.

I shouldn't have tortured myself earlier watching the vox pop bits of the Brexiteers in Parliament Sq, but for fuck's sake, it makes you despair. Looking forward to this extraordinary new world where Brits will supposedly be queueing up for the right to pick our own sprouts in the spirit of 'pulling together'.

There were fireworks here... and it has made me incredibly sad. I just feel awful

UnrulyPig · 31/01/2020 23:14

We will be, everytime. DP is Scottish, we'll be heading up there as soon as DS finishes school. I can't wait, tbh.

SparklingXmas · 31/01/2020 23:15

Really sad, shed a few tears at 11pm- then some stupid person is settling off fireworks - no shame ☹️😢

SapphireSeptember · 31/01/2020 23:15

I just heard some fireworks too. Idiots.

💛💙💛💙 I'm going to raise a glass of Gin to the EU and light a candle. It might make me feel better. If not I'll get rat arsed.

Here's the This is our star image. It's lovely, if not a bit sad.

I've already has to delete a FB post as a stupid leaver on my page couldn't help themselves but make some stupid comment. They can't even have a bit of dignity, I think that is more telling then they just being a leaver.

Just got back from my mother in laws funeral, she would have been 89 this week. She was a passionate remainer, she lived through the second world war and was horrified by the whole brexit thing.
Such a sad day

AnotherMonthAnotherName · 31/01/2020 23:19

There's been fireworks near me too- not many but bloody hell. It's 11pm. So selfish to set them off and wake people / piss off dogs etc. Wankers.

I was sad this morning. Now I'm just depressed.

blibblibs · 31/01/2020 23:20

Being Scottish is the only thing keeping me going at the moment. I'm stuck in England for the next few years at least but I'll always be a Scottish European and hopefully will never have a shiny new blue passport.

AnotherMonthAnotherName · 31/01/2020 23:21

My passport expired this month. Need to apply for a new one but can't really be arsed as I know I will get pissed off every time I look at it.

Spieluhr · 31/01/2020 23:21

I can't bear alcohol. Tonight I'm wishing that wasn't the case.

TheGreatWave · 31/01/2020 23:22

And now comments about how the world hasn't ended.

FFS we never said it would.

I need to go to bed, my blood pressure must be through the roof.

ChequerBoard · 31/01/2020 23:23

Sad here too, trying to avoid all the celebrating nonsense as it's making me shout at the TV.... Think I'm going to bed...

MyDarlingWhatIfYouFly · 31/01/2020 23:23

I'm very sad. And sick of all the insults and fighting. Neither side is blameless but there was never any attempt to make it easier on those who voted to remain - it was all "you lost, nah nah nah". I'm sad that Farage and his gang have been representing us in Europe and have been so visible - I hope the rest of the EU don't judge the other 99% of us based on the 1% acting like absolute fools.

Shockers · 31/01/2020 23:26

Fireworks here too- they frightened the dog. What the fuck is there to celebrate? Yeah, they ‘won’, but what did they win?

It would’ve been my mum’s birthday today- she’d have been gutted Sad.

Fireworks here, too. Farming country so they are mad for Brexit. Good luck to them when the subsidies run out.

JustonTime · 31/01/2020 23:32

BonnesVacances - Aw, that poor little star!

I cried like a baby when Goodbye in all the languages of the EU was projected onto the Cliffs of Dover.

SecondTimeCharm · 31/01/2020 23:38

Very sad. Need to apply for passport for DD2 soon and it’s really hitting me to think her’s will be so different to ours and her sister’s.

Whole situation for the last few years has been utterly depressing and has genuinely affected my mental health.

Sossadtoday · 31/01/2020 23:39

Can't stop crying now, thank you everyone on this thread, really needed it tonight xxx ❤️

Spieluhr · 31/01/2020 23:40

I'm ashamed to call myself British now. I won't be doing it voluntarily.

Roussette · 31/01/2020 23:40

I think it will be ages before you get a blue one, on the News they have a lot of stocks of maroon ones to use up!

Devastated
