As I went to bed at about 3
a.m. the writing was on the wall and getting up three hours later I found the
people had spoken - not only spoken but acted – unfortunately rather like a sulky
teenager determined to react against the admittedly overstated advice of the grown-up
establishment to be sensible, and instead raise two fingers to them, demanding “it’s
my life (country) and Uncle Nigel says I can do what I like with it”; although
understanding the frustration of many worn down by austerity while seeing a privileged
class (many perceived to be foreigners) lording it with a loads-a-money
lifestyle, I do not think leaving the EU is likely to be the solution, but I suppose
52% of the nation will be happy now the world is shut out (a bit like the
teenager slamming the bedroom door) and will expect the same politicians,
business leaders and bureaucrats, whose advice they dismissed, to sort out the
mess created.
