AIBU to expect a bit more positivity about the referendum result?

[Stanleysmum01]

OK here it it is, I voted Leave, truly believed in it, didn't think it would actually happen mind you I even placed a bet on ladbrokes thinking Remain would get it. I got up at 4am to watch the results and was so surprised at the way it was going but was full of national pride and ecstatic.

But what is really getting my goat is the plethora of experts coming on explaining away the results, about the poor and uneducated not listening to the experts who know better.

Sorry but I might be poor but I'm not uneducated, I made my decision by surprisingly not looking at the immigration issue to me thats the elephant in the room regardless of the result. I looked at the stats, the EU didn't save firstly our coal, steel or car industry, manufacturing is disappearing. Fishermen have no rights, farming is a mess there's a massive rich / poor divide. Peace in our time has not been achieved have we forgotten the genocide in Yugoslavia (that wasn't that long ago) and the impotency of Europe to have stopped it or whats happening in Ukraine?

Anyway its happened be excited for our future, its going to be a 2 year exit plan and you know a lot might not change, all those EU residents who live here and vice versa well you know if we want to live in Spain and you want to live here whats wrong with applying for citizenship like anyone else outside the EU? Yes our passports might change and we have to go through the 'Others' section so what. Obama said we're still going to be friends, the bank of England said its already put billions aside. Universities and business's who apply to the EU for money will just have to ask the government instead we will of saved it. So politicians the revolution has happened your MEP job and extra income won't exist get over it, we sussed you out with the expenses scandal. The little man has spoken, brush you self down get over it and be excited not pessimistic for our future we've survived the last recession and much worse.

By the way I'm in my 40's a stay at home mum with a child with SEN who lives in a small rural community and the only person who asked my opinion was the UKIP man who came twice in the lead up even out of his usual jurisdiction. So call it anti establishment whatever you will but be pleased British inner rebel won over in the end.

If you're poor now, you're going to be poorer in the future, that's for certain.

positivity? You just fucked up for all of us. Thanks for nothing

The EU want the uk out asap and are unlikely to negotiate much - pour encourager les autres

Obama said we're still friends

What are you -12? He also said that if we left the EU we'd be at the back of the queue for any trade agreements but according to you as long as we're bffs that's not a problem. Give me strength!

The little man has spoken

Oh, FGS. Do we have to have such patronising rubbish? I was severely tempted to respond just with "No, the little twat has spoken" and leave it at that - however, I do recognise that there are a lot of people who voted the way they did because they were taken in by the outright lies put out by the likes of Farage and Johnson.

At best, this is the end of over 40 years of stability and relative prosperity. At worst, this is the end of hundreds of years of great British achievement, the end of the Union, the beginning of Britain (or quite possibly just England on its own) becoming progressively more insignificant.

Do tell me what I can find to be positive about there? If you're not scared, you're not thinking.

the thought of Boris Johnson stepping up for the poor and disenfranchised is grimly hilarious.

this is a clusterfuck of epic proportions, whichever way you slice it.

Hmm why don't you try telling the citizens of Gibraltar that they should be a bit more positive OP and see how that goes down.

ImperialBlether I can't get much poorer, I have nothing to lose and I know I'm not very articulate, my point of mentioning Obama was the backtracking and I'm not a ukip spokesperson,Katie Hopkins is not my best friend.

EU will have to give us a really shitty exit deal to deter other countries following suit.

"I can't get much poorer"

You know the "leave" leaders ((Farage, Gove) want to demolish the NHS?????

Look at America, see what it is like being poor there 😟

Oh stan you really can get much poorer .

If you use the NHS or your DC attend school or you receive benefits of any kind.

We are educated
We have a home in France
We wish to be part of a global trading economy in which the UK can make independent decisions
We believe leaving now provides greater strength than leaving as the EU inevitably would have disintegrated over the next five years
We believe a lot of those economic experts (Goldman Sachs etc) had their own vested interests relating to personal and corporate profit at heart
Most financial experts advised remain on the basis of maintaining financial stability and their own projections - the same experts who didn't see the banking crisis coming in 2007/8.
We voted to secure the best future for the UK and our children. We did not believe that was secured by voting Remain.

The majority of voters voted out. Almost 30% didn't vote. Only 25% of 18-25 year olds voted. If the country wanted to Remain, it is not the fault of those who voted Leave that we are leaving but the apathy of this who couldn't be bothered - and even if that nearly 30% had voted the result might be no different but they exercised their right not to vote. A democratic decision was made. Now it needs to be accepted.

Errr many of the experts did predict the crash!! I was hearing chatter about it being predicted long before it ha

Happened. And huge frustration from the experts that the Govts were sticking their fingers in their ears and ignoring the warnings

Oh well if you can't get much poorer OP then clearly that's fine, don't worry about anyone else.

There's being positive and then there's the assumption that the fairies will sort everything

I spent many years working for the NHS and private hospitals, they have been screwed for a long time look how much they pay agencies for staff and are impotent to negotiate less. I've spent this year learning my life will take a different path I'm essentially my sons carer and its been an eye opener and at the moment I only claim child benefit to those who ask.

AndOhTheRoses bravo, we may be facing the apocalypse according to everyone but at least we voted

Oh another organisation who are positive about this; ISIS.

You want me to be positive about something I think is awful?

If you feel like celebrating go ahead and do it, I can't begrudge you that, but it's very odd to expect all the people who thought a brexit would be disastrous to suddenly change their tune and go all 'positive' now.

Stanley, you say you have nothing to lose. I think that's very significant - those who feel they have nothing to lose can afford to gamble their 'nothing'. Many Brexiters are in the 'we've got nothing to lose, the UK's crap already, can't get much worse, can it?' camp. For those such people who live in Cornwall and Wales and are just realising that they did have something to lose after all, and have just lost it - my heart goes out to them.

You've fucked up the country because you wanted to feel like a rebel and to think you're important for one day in your life. Thanks love. As long as you're happy eh.

For those such people who live in Cornwall and Wales and are just realising that they did have something to lose after all, and have just lost it - my heart goes out to them. My heart is much harder since yesterday.

Er OP I don't feel so positive about a recession coming

YABU.

The expert on BBC news reckons Gove and Johnson are currently hiding under their respective duvets.

What's the plan? Who's in charge?

Radio fucking silence.

The whole thing is like a bad joke gone horribly wrong...I bet they're both wetting their pants and quite right too. Take back control my arse
