Oh and 2tn wiped off the markets.

(I should get off the internet, I'll just get angrier & more depressed...)

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

And finally: 26 Brexit Tweets Guaranteed To Make You Laugh, Cry, Or Probably Both

(Cry. Again.)

ETA: Unlike Trump, Republicans Only Supported The Brexit After The Vote.
OK, Republicans. NOW IT'S PERSONAL!!!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

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

Yeah. But imo the worst are probably the comments from the elderly who are like "I voted #Leave, and don't give a shit how it impacts the younger generations."

I have been involved in what was, in the most part, a fairly civilised conversation on FB where a well informed Leave voter was celebrating the 'freeing of the shackles' on her life as a farmer.

Someone else in the thread - a mutual Croatian friend (V) - said she thought it sad that the over 65s did not consider the views of the younger generation as they were the ones who would have to live with this decision. A third person (R) then jumped on her asking why they should, and accusing her of saying no-one over 65 should be allowed to vote.

I got involved because - you know me. I said I didn't think V had said the over 65s shouldn't vote - just that they should have thought of the wishes of those who will be most affected.

R's reply was that she had voted No to the EU in the 1975 referendum when she was young and had her life 'ruined' by the Yes voters for the past 40 years so why should she care about the current younger generation?

I wanted to say 'so that they don't become twisted and bitter like you have', but in the end I have forced myself to back off.

I admire your restraint.

And then they''ll probably complain when suddenly their pensions are non-existent because of the recession that they helped trigger. :(
