Maybe someone should pop into a Kent forum and gloat about how the Welsh escaped a Farage Garage.
Or, if you want to upset people who live in Kent, you could just stick with your gloating here. Some Remain voters do live in Kent you know and some of us are on and/or reading these threads. The prospect of what this area could become isn’t funny, it’s fucking frightening. Four in ten in this constituency don’t want, and never have wanted, this shit-show any more than you do. The horror of being at its epicentre is awful enough without having to listen to you revelling in ‘the cosmic justice of Kent suffering’.
This sort of attitude has cropped up in the past on these threads. I found the relishing of the suffering of a whole region, inevitably including many remainders, irritating and distasteful then. Now we’re staring it full in the face it makes me bloody furious. Some people seem to forget there are Remain voters everywhere, just as there are Leave voters everywhere, even in the blessed regions that voted Remain overall. We are not all ‘hard of thinking’, pig-ignorant, racist Brexiteers here and, by the same token, I’m quite sure there are a few who fit that description in every Remain voting bastion of virtue.
I live in a lovely little town with a lot of interesting, kind and open minded people. Inevitably, there are also an awful lot who voted to leave the EU. My home happens to be eight miles from Dover. I am having sleepless nights about what’s to come. I’m looking after my chronically ill, disabled DH and praying his medication won’t be delayed. I’m terrified it will become unbearable here and we will have to stay for the rest of our days, trapped and unable to sell our house. I can’t remember the last time I had an untroubled night’s sleep.
But I suppose I deserve all that just for living in Kent?
