Good Morning, KC. :)

I’ve been working Nights for the last few weeks , so Agere_contra may have more info on this. :)

The News media don’t appear to be very enthusiastic about it. Lots of whinging interviews on the radio news.

On a very local level , people aren’t talking about it. There may still be some residual Butt hurt.

On a personal level, the products in my usual Supermarket have changed for the better, already.

Hi KC!

The people who voted Remain are sour and morose: continually sniping about how 'the UK is doomed now'. They are busily constructing elaborate narratives with the following themes:

"The British people soon won't be able to afford food/petrol/health care"

"When they begin to suffer like this, they will blame the EU and immigrants instead of blaming Brexit"

"There will be a huge propaganda campaign to make it seem that Brexit somehow worked".

I.e they are pre-emptively insulating themselves from future reality. They would rather the country failed than be proved wrong.

And for the next 100 years they will also insist that the Brexit vote wasn't legitimate, that it should have been a 2/3 vote and so on - while ignoring the fact that no-one in Britain voted to sign the Lisbon treaty in the first place.

In the meantime: those like me who voted FOR Brexit are jubilant. We are also relieved that we haven't been betrayed by our Parliament.
