I can appreciate the humour, y'know me irreverent as they come. But this has deeply saddened me. It's not some distant thing, these decisions have a profound impact on my life & those of my family (my brother & sister & their families), my friends & colleagues. At the very least it's put many of our livelihoods in a pattern of unpredictability & uncertainty, many of us relying on EU funding to support our work; at the very worst it's put us in a situation which is all too predictable: there will be massive job losses, lack of funding, hikes in interest rates etc.

Having already endured 6 years of the conservative govn impacting & destroying services dear to me, things my family & plenty of others have needed in order to simply survive for the past 30-odd years, this is just further alienation & despair.

But at the very core of the anger is the conduct of people. I mean I never had faith in Cameron/Osbourne/Johnson, I knew what they were about the moment I laid eyes on them. But it's the people who have been tricked by them. I just thought we had reached a stage where people were smart enough not to buy into these parlour tricks. I overestimated them & was greatly upset when they voted for them, twice. & then this inevitable, crazy referendum driven by a hysteria born out of caricatures & lies. If you could see it from where we see it, you wouldn't be laughing.

That's democracy & politics for you. They won.

Under other circumstances I could see valid reasons for leaving the EU. Even tho I am pro-eu I do think it's a flawed institution & there are possible benefits to be reaped from working outside its confines.
But this? This isn't a good idea. The whole thing has been a disaster from the get go. The EU has been blamed for things it had nothing to do with & a lot of people have voted out on the premise of false promises, misinformation & lies. There was no reasoned debate before or after the referendum was called, & the campaign quickly descended into a nasty battle led by people's self interest. Johnson & Gove were only out for their personal benefit, they didn't or don't care about how it affects anyone else. They've only got their eyes on the prize.

But really, it's a failure on the part of everyone. To have let our politics get into such a seedy state. We haven't been vigilant or policed ourselves as a society, as this is what we get..

That means Gove, Johnson or May as PM.. What a world.

Well he'll still be in a job until the Tories can appoint a new leader. I think he'll announce he's invoking article 50 at the very least.

Both he & Corbyn should resign. They're to blame as much as the rest of us. Leadership? Fuck.

"A shitstorm". Best description of the whole fuckin thing.
