Well, Northern Ireland didn't degrade into a fisticuff brawl, much to my disdain. Everyone is still kinda getting on. Oh, by the way, NI is not a war-torn, terrorist ridden shithole... it's just a shithole. Funny though, they held the referendum during the Euros where some of the population were off making me proud of this seagull shit stained rock (which is difficult to do.) Has this been taken into consideration? Were they able to sail their vote across the channel?
But now there's this second referendum nonsense? Fuck me, everyone is going referendum mad. Now a town here wants to hold a referendum on whether or not they wanna stay in the DDC. Christ.
As for my thoughts on results? People are awfully racist all of a sudden.

If every voter here voted Remain it wouldn't have made a difference in the result.
Overall Leave seems like a pretty poor decision in the short term and a completely uncertain one in the long term. I try to keep a very open mind but it's hard to get on board with an argument that seems largely driven by this abstract ideology of sovereignty and willing to put a lot of things in jeopardy to achieve it. People being led to believe that Leave is the solution to all their hang ups with immigration and the effects on their communities.
It very well may work out in the long run - but that's something that we could only get a real sense of 20 years from now. |The idea that medical research could be seriously set back by a decision like this is something that worries me.
The point is that who knows? Nobody, honestly. Hopefully things work out.
