“Not turning out to be the rose garden some thought, is it.”
We don’t know yet do we? All that has happened thusfar is precisely nothing. The starting gun for our departure has, outrageously, not even been fired. Our senior politicians are in denial; the PM has chucked his toys out of the pram and refuses to undertake his responsibilities; plots abound from various minorities to thwart the will of the people; the Remainers seem to want a second chance.
Yes there would have been tears in the Brexit camp had the vote gone the other way. But none of the above would have happened. The PM would have been on the steps of No 10 at 8am on Friday proudly announcing that the people have spoken, that’s that, it’s all done and dusted. The EU would have carried on as if nothing had happened and ploughed on with its disastrous interventionist policies that have impoverished vast swathes of the Union. Instead, politicians have now got to get off their backsides and do something and it’s all come as a bit of a shock to them.
Like Mikey and 3Ts I too said I would accept the result whatever. And I have. But right now, I'm not interesteed in the Labour Party, I'm not interested how Scotland or London or 18-30 year olds voted. This was a UK referendum because it is the UK that is a member of the EU.
