Anything not music related ends up in here - a place for our community to chat and joke. You need a thick skin to survive, and don't let the regulars put you off, they're (nearly) all a nice bunch of people.

Don't forget Putin, he thinks it's a great result as well.
And extreme right parties in other European countries are drooling too. Our national "Trump minime" Geert Wilders is now calling for a referendum in Holland too, but he's largely been ignored.
Ultra-nationalists, fascists and racists all think Brexit is great, that should really tell you something.
There are all sorts of ugly racist incidents being reported here. Cards saying things like "The country has spoken - Polish vermin are not wanted in this country - go home!" - being posted through peoples letterboxes. Other members of minority groups being openly abused and threatened in the streets.
We're turning into a nazi nation.
There have been incidents in the US over the last couple of months which look very much like some kind of civil war when you see the footage. I can't help feeling like we're on the way to something similar here.

I don't think that is entirely the case. The media are now just hopping on the next bandwagon of doom and reporting the latest hot topic drama. It wouldn't surprise me if that kind of shit was already going on anyway but since brexit its now being singled out. People don't turn racist over night.
actually feel somewhat embarrassed to be british ATM. Im sure the world will be tarring us all with the same brush
it's going ahead, the tories would be an incredible mess if they didn't enact the decision of the people
lucky for them, even in disarray they look better than labour right now and would easily win a snap election
the EU leadership is in a v. difficult position also but they clearly have planned for this event, they will make Britain pay for opting out of the technocracy. no more privileges, just one big trade bloc against another

If 'it' goes ahead, they will have to explain to 48% of voters why it's not going to be as shite as they told them it would be. ie have a plan.
I think we'll end up staying in the EU, but the EU may have to shake things up a bit. If we do leave, they'll have to be convinced it is in the nations interest, or else we'll be back in a recession or something and people will not be happy anyway.
I daresay it'll get dragged out for so long we'll barely notice anyway. Hopefully they'll implode along the way.
The real interesting thing will be to see what happens if Corbyn gets voted in with an even bigger majority than the first time. Could happen.
what it has allowed is for the real dregs of the tory cunts to go for PM. Who would want that job now? Only the mental, desperate, or proper jobsworths ... could be very damaging.
Teaching is already fucked. My misses will be quitting her job after next year. She has had enough. A real shame really as she is a very good teacher (awarded 'outstanding' by ofsted every time there is an inspection, the only teacher to do so in the school)
