Just like the past 2 general elections have lied to us to get into power.
David Cameron sold himself his legacy, he used the referendum to get into power in 2015, now he ****ed us, he never thought we'd vote Leave but during his reign the whole muslim immigration rhetoric ******** went full Spinal Tap to level 11, and what do you get, we leave the EU.
As voted for by the old gits who saw the EU set in place, reaped the benefits, then just as they're on their way out they'll take it from their future generations. I have never been more ashamed to live in this country and it's going to cause rifts in the UK (Not so united anymore huh) for years to come.
But educated liberals tell me we are animals, that their great x100 grandmother is a gorilla and that's why we should have euthanasia like animals, so old people can't vote and bed block.

I genuinely think this will bring the best out of Britain. Maybe we will say "Good morning" to our next door neighbour now.

I think a year from now when the economic impact will really be felt, when many people will lose their jobs, when (especially small) businesses struggle and when the real exodus begins, people might be more inclined to decide against going forward with the split. For now, it's simply too early.
Of course, considering how it was mainly old farts that have voted overwhelmingly to leave, maybe not - what do they have to worry about except going to the pub to whinge about how things are no longer like in the 70s. Meh.
Overall though, I'm not that worried, the main thing that will come from this is the UK will bleed more financially, but it will mostly be regular folk that will suffer (and they have themselves to blame for that). Will be amusing to see all the poverty-stricken parts of the country, that have seen massive investment from the EU and that have voted against it, get their comeuppance.

Why are you ashamed?
I'm not ashamed at all; I'm still proud to be British and I'm still proud of Great Britain.
But I am disappointed that people were so easily sucked in by such transparent fearmongering and lies. Project Fear won the day for Farage and Gove.
That's not salty tears, that's bitter tears, not so tasty bro.
It'll be more like 'Hey darkie, what the hell are you still doing here?!'
It is the backtracking and failing to deliver on promises that adds weight to a second referendum. Though in the case of UKIP they were supporting a second referendum anyway.
England alone 53.4% to 46.6%
West Midlands with the high score, my location. Pleased my leave vote helped a little with that.

Remain was completely propped up by the Jocks who can't wait to tell England to **** off.
Are you really saying this is the first time politicians have lied and mislead in order to win votes... ?
There's not a great deal of respect in this thread or anywhere, when you have all the Remain voters implying everyone who voted Leave is uneducated - which is clearly untrue, many well read people have logically decided to leave. And on the flip side you have Leave voters gloating to antagonise them - partly because Remain won't listen to them and are just projecting misery.
We are on uncertain ground, but now it's the job of everyone involved to try and forge a way forward. Assuming any way forward will be negative is not going to help anyone, we need a united front to show to the EU (backing our politicians), or they'll try and take us to the cleaners even more.
One thing should be clear, we do have some options now, many options in fact, and the right decisions need making to keep our country strong. It's not the end of the world.
People are just worried about the future, understandably so. It was a very close vote, which means the country is split down the middle. Whichever way the vote went, being this close was bound to cause problems.
Yes we need unity. But you don't get unity by throwing around childish "deal with it", "don't be salty", "you're butthurt" quips. The Leave camp need to take the lead and show everyone WHY the future will be brighter. Not just saying "it'll be all right in the end". When peoples lives are on the line, that level of vague platitude doesn't cut it.
Remember, this isn't a general election result that can be undone in 4 years time if you don't like the government. This is a decision which will last at least a generation, if not much longer.
