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

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

We've been asked to be a bit more far right in our tweets to reflect the Wakey electorate. Up yours poor people!

Dear Britain:

*hugs*

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.

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

*HUGS*

THIS...

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

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!

Where is the Doctor when you need him????

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.

Och. Being from the States, that definitely stings.

And it is utterly, horribly the truth.

THIS...

I am so sorry, bb. The country you love turned into 1930's Germany overnight. *shudders* When will we learn?

When we have decent education, that's when.

One of my co-workers (she's just turned 30) had never heard of the suffragettes. I'm serious.

Not surprisingly, she voted Leave. :(

Lemme guess: she was shocked at what Leave ACTUALLY MEANT.

*headdeskXeleventybillion*

Hope you told her congrats on breaking the economy and causing needless suffering everywhere. Gods.

She doesn't work Fridays, so I didn't see her.

Mind you, no one spoke about the referendum in the office on Friday. The topic was suspicious by its absence.

Which was good, because I don't know if I'd have shouted or cried or just become bitingly sarcastic.

Mind you, I think they were all very much symptoms of the Leave campaign's success. We spoke about it (briefly) on Tuesday I think, and one of them mentioned the '£350 million we send to the EU every week' and I pointed out that 'IT'S A LIE!' and 'WE GET BILLIONS BACK' but what can you do?

I hope they never ask, because I can't lie.

("How are you?" "Furious. And working on getting dual citizenship for my children so their lives won't be completely fucked up! Thanks for asking.")

I'm so glad no one said anything. Honestly, what COULD that say ~~that wouldn't make it worse?!?!~~.

Gahhh, I'm so crossing my fingers for your wee ones. I want them to have the best you can give them. And dual citizenship seems the right move to me!

This. The only comment was from a manager from a different area who happened to walk through, and who said "Well, apparently the lunatics have taken over the asylum..."

Gahhh, I'm so crossing my fingers for your wee ones. I want them to have the best you can give them. And dual citizenship seems the right move to me!
I am trying to read up on it. They may have to live in Denmark for a year. *ponders*

*Grins* Well, he's not wrong! And good on him for saying it! to bad we can't rewind the whole mess...ugh.

Ohh, may be doable, darling. Determined Mama=Feats of Amazingness!

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.

Determined Mama=Feats of Amazingness!
Sadly, laws don't bend over backwards.

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?!" >:|

Edited 2016-06-25 12:37 (UTC)

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. >:)

Still holding hope for you, honey...

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

<3

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

I have to laugh, or I would cry forever.
