Nope, it wasn't a bad dream. Country still fucked

Oh and 2tn wiped off the markets.

EU Referendum: #NotInMyName trends as country wakes up to Brexit (3 million of us who couldn't vote. THAT WOULD HAVE SWUNG THE VOTE. Not to mention the young people. Both my 14 and my 17 year old are MILES more informed than the average adult.)

Remember that time Nigel Farage said 52-48 votes should lead to second referendum?
(I think I hate Nigel Farage more than is entirely healthy...)

So amazing that power has shifted so dramatically from the guy 3rd from the left to the guy 4th form the right. pic.twitter.com/SUn0NvZocD

Dear Britain:

I wanted to use this, but I fear the stinging force of the rebuke would be lost on Brits:

I honestly thought Tony Blair was the PM who did the most work on creating peace in Northern Ireland. Hats off to Cameron, in one fell swoop he's actually managed to get people thinking changing to a united Ireland would be Good. That is literally the only positive after this fiasco.

[elisi]

We can but hope... I know a lot of people were worried about the Good Friday Agreement in the context of a possible UK departure from the EU, and now - well, here's to hoping!

[classics-lover.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

A few laughs for you :(

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

These tweets were brilliant. Spot on. And made me that much sadder...

*HUGS*

[elisi]

A glooming peace this morning with it brings.

The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head.

Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things.

[kikimay]

I'm with you. Yesterday was a shock. I do hope your politicians find a solution and I hope that Cameron gets fucked back by a pig tbh.

[elisi]

Our politicians are most over-privileged idiots who engineered the thing in the first place, and are now shocked.

And Cameron has resigned. I'm sure he'll be living comfortably off his offshore funds. Although he will go down in history as the man who destroyed the UK, so there's that. >:)

There's a part of me that's kinda angry at the voters who've been like "I voted #Leave, but I didn't think we'd actually leave! D:"

And I'm like- "THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU VOTE #REMAIN?!" >:|

[elisi]

They're a bit like an actual Onion headline... /o\

[endeni]

Yep, those tweets are fantastic. They'd be so hilarious if they also weren't so depressing too...

[elisi]

I have to laugh, or I would cry forever.

Just wanted to let you know that a Canadian is so bummed. Years ago Quebec narrowly voted to remain in Canada...it was a good decision, but holy heck, was it harrowing :-(

[lynnenne]

I second this. I'm so sorry for everything the UK is about to lose. It's a terrible time. Many hugs for you and your family.

[percysowner.livejournal.com]

It probably won't come to anything, but there already is a petition for a revote to overturn the referendum http://www.rawstory.com/2016/06/do-over-more-than-1-million-signatures-collected-in-uk-calling-for-a-re-vote-on-leaving-eu/ The petition, created on Friday, has already gained far more than the 100,000 signatures required for it to be considered by the U.K. parliament for a debate and has caused the parliament website to crash several times due to high demand. Note: It already has a million votes, so saying it's over the 100,000 is an understatement.

I'm in the U.S. and can't do anything except send hugs. HUGS :(

Despite making three posts about it, I find I'm having trouble finding anything to say. *shares misery*

I mean, even if things magically work out in some way and it's all fine, we've still inevitably made the recession worst. I'm here in the NE (I think a little way above you?) and the people are celebtratory and I'm just thinking you are the ones who are going to get stuffed above all others in this country because nothing has moved economically here since 2008. Which is why they were angry enough to smash things. Just, people, not those things.

Now it's done, we can only hope that it's a wake up call to improve things for an awful lot of people I suppose. We can try.

Aye, I'm West Yorkshire.

This. But they were lied to. :(

Somehow...

Some of those tweets were hilarious! That one about not giving up seats on the tube to the elderly and the one about replacing David Cameron with a cat.

I saw one on my Twitter timeline, right after the results came out, that was about what the "Seinfeld" character's reaction would be and I LOL and then felt bad.

It would be funny, if it didn't have such serious consequences. (And it wasn't so STUPID!) Normally, I'd be thrilled to see the politicians squirm.
