I was in...

And yet I awake this morning to find that we're now out, a decision I find myself disappointed and embarrassed to see. Our prime minister is stepping down. This is a big day for British politics. What this will mean for us in the long run is hard to foresee. I know it'll take a while for these changes to take full effect but it's the knowing it's not going to unfold as we first thought that's what's thrown everybody off. It's a frightening situation we find ourselves in, it'll be tricky finding the positives for a while. I suppose we've just got to let the dust settle.

My family have all been messaging together and I exclaimed my disbelief. 
'Oh I believe it' dad replied, 'I reckon that everyone who voted Remain, thought about it. Some Leave votes were considered, but there was a massive chunk of headline-reading, sheep-like non-thinkers who voted Leave.' I reckon he's summed it up well, unfortunately the campaigns have been so bitter, with tabloid newspapers actually telling people outright to vote leave, swung a lot of folks on the fence. 
Sobering. 

 

One of my friends pointed out something true, which is the amount of young people who've recently been fired up about politics. That is a silver lining we can take away from it all I suppose. Everything is temporary, today's headlines will be tomorrows chip wrappers, we'll just have to roll with a punch...
