Brexit omelette with ham and cheese.

Elections that don't count. It was a reflexive response. Though a primary vote on the Brexit topic makes more sense, even if the official decision may never be left to the public vote. It's a big issue so impressive to allow for a general public voting.

If it was possible to change anything by voting they wouldn't let us do it.

This has shown me one thing.

The turkeys will vote for Christmas, if you drape the abattoir in Union Flags, and tell them that they won't have to share the slaughter truck with any foreign turkeys

  That first phrase threw me off at first, since turkeys in the States are associated with Thanksgiving. 

We don't have Thanksgiving. Turkey is our traditional Christmas meal.

"Turkeys voting for Christmas" is a common phrase in Britain. It never occurred to me that it wasn't used in America

  Such cultural misunderstandings would become a thing of the past in my Empire Union^TM!

Firstly, this is only a disaster because the press are left leaning and mostly backed Remain.  What is going on is the same media hysteria that went on after the conservatives won the last election (against what the media thought would happen).  Things didn't catch fire.  The world didn't end.  This is the end of nothing.  So for fucks sake calm down and act like adults please.

The mass media and most of the remainers still don;t realise what happened.  And this is why they lost.

Neither Remain or Brexit seemed to realise that there was a mass movement of people who had genuine misgivings about the EU.  It was supposed to be a trade agreement but it has grown towards a superstate.  This was not what Britain joined and is not what a large part of the country want.  Instead the Remain campaign thought this was all about a few working class idiots not liking foreigners.  They were wrong.  This is not about immigrants.  It never has been.  But because anyone talking about leave is singled out and shouted at for being "racist" no politicians would back Leave for fear of being tarred with the politics by innuendo that the left of centre often resort to.

So for a while at least it appeared that the right and Nigel Farage were actually in charge.   But they weren't.  Theywere just a few people running in front of the mob.  The mob was not racist.  The mob consists of the middle ground that wanted to be part of the EU but did not want the EU to be how it is now.  There was no third option.  They were told to vote for the EU (and further integration) or to vote out.

And en masse they chose out as the lesser of two evils.  Out.

It was about sovereignty.  It was about not wanting to be further integrated.  It was about never wanting to be part of an EU this large.  It was about not wanting to have less and less influence but still be expected to pick up the tab for more and more ailing economies.  It was about not wanting to be forced to participate in the French dream of European army to replace NATO.  It was about not wanting a secretive cabal to negotiate for us behind closed doors.  It was about having laws forced un us that were conceived by people who had never won a vote to get their positions.  It was about not having TTIP shoved down our throats.  This is not about fucking refugees.  It's never was. 

It's such a shame that the left and the right never once looked up from their out of date hymn sheets to see what the rest of the country were singing.

The Labour frontbencher, Seema Malhotra, is speaking just ahead of Jeremy Corbyn’s speech in central London today.

The unshared prosperity, she adds, has been an important driver for how people felt about membership of the EU. But there are other concerns too around community cohesion.

She reads out a message from a teacher in her constituency who spoke of an incident that occurred after the referendum result. The teacher was escorting a group of young children when they were racially abused by members of the public.

They shouted: “Why are there only 10 white faces in this class? Why are you not educating the English?

Children aged six were crying and saying that they were going to have to leave the country, according to the teacher. Malhotra says that people are in need of reassurance.

What a scummy, piece of shit, country we've become

I hear that attitude a lot from people like you. Personally, I find it a bit vile Why should somebody be expected to leave their country, just because they don't like the direction it's going in? Surely it would be best if they stayed and tried to change things.

Anyway, I've already left I live in Budapest, and after the result of the referendum, I've never been more relieved.

I hold an Irish passport too, and from now on, I am referring to myself as Irish I would be embarrassed to be associated with the Little Englanders who voted to leave.

Also, I can respect your sentiments about liking your country, and the people it contains.

However, it seems odd expressing those sentiments in reply to a post criticizing people for racially abusing a class of 6 year olds

You're not the only one. Apparently there's a surge in Google searches on Irish passports.

I put forward plenty of arguements in my post above as to why people could feel legitimately that they were best out of the EU, but you still called me a Little Englander (and by assocciation a racist I suppose).  Would that be because, like the remain campaign in general, you have no answers to any political issues?  All you can do is point a finger and call names.
