I hope she's is ok and I hope I'm not taking this the wrong way. But from this post and your earlier posts in this thread, your Mrs sounds like someone who freaks out easy.... Saying she feels like packing up and leaving on the basis of a result and now not knowing how to handle what seems like is a bit of a humourous jibe from people in the office or wherever she works.

Being made to feel unwelcome based on nothing other than your country of origin is not really some minor deal.

You're clearly not reading posts.

I'll give you a very very basic economic lesson.

Risk causes volatility in markets.

The markets have plunged today as investors see the UK as a high risk to invest their money it. The value of the pound has also dropped.

"What does this mean for people like me you ask", well now the pound is weaker everything we import now becomes more costly.

There's humour and then there's being insensitive. It should be obvious that this is a big issue for a lot of EU citizens in the UK who don't really know what's going to happen and to end up being the butt of jokes for the whole day over the matter is bound to get to anyone.

Seems like people have gotten caught up far too much in the wrong areas and ignored what really matters.

"The younger generation has lost the right to live and work in 27 other countries. We will never know the full extent of the lost opportunities, friendships, marriages and experiences we will be denied. Freedom of movement was taken away by our parents, uncles and grandparents in a parting blow to a generation that was already drowning in the debts of our predecessors."

The problem comes down to the reasons for peoples votes.

What winds me up is that the "stupid and uneducated" (as you refer to them), have been whining about austerity measures in this country for the last few years. But they've not realised by leaving the EU they've just signed themselves up for several more years of austerity.

That doesn't bother me in the slightest - austerity measures were't affecting me. I've had the poor peoples interests at heart with this referendum
but it seems like they've got other ideas.

I was repeating what another remain poster posted insinuating that leave only won because of stupid and uneducated people voting along with racists and bigots.

Another example of why you lost.

sums it up nice "austerity doesn't affect me" so millions of working class must suffer for my euro dream

Yep. And suddenly we're doomed without the EU.

At worst we'll be another Norway or Switzerland. Those places aren't too bad.

Absolutely. Typical knee jerk reactions in the markets. Give it a few months and things will level out again.

I find it quite interesting how so many people seem unable to comprehend life outside of the EU. We have been a successful country throughout history and for many more years than we have been in the EU.

The bottom line in business is the bottom line. Industry will not cut it's nose off to spite it's face.

Brussels needs to take a long hard look at itself in my opinion.

They haven't. They now just have to apply for that right.

Freedom of movement taken away? Not at all. Talk about exaggeration. The author of this poorly conceived tissue scribble cannot be someone with a degree surely. Even people with no qualifications manage to go and live and work abroad.

My office cleaner even manages it. The remnants of project fear? Or an attempt to evoke or provoke dismay. Either way author: Get a brain you can and will still do these things if you know how to read and write.
 
It is nothing to do with class.
Although I get the impression that some people believe that anyone who earns anything more than minimum wage and actually made an effort to make something of themselves is automatically a lefty middle-class snob.
