Saddest moment in British history

Yesterday June 23 2016 was a day of grief.
The UK effectively shot itself in the foot by voting leave on the EU Referendum. The world once again saw the scary effects of propaganda and racial and ethnic hate. Hopefully but highly unlikely we can still manage to get trough this.

Did you ever think that that the voters you decry feel the same about you and your side? As if your side never does propaganda?

Not to the extents that we have seen them and certainly not with so much misinformation. Only one side prayed on fear and sadly it prevailed.
It takes a special kind of talent to manage to convince half a nation that something which i universally regarded as a terrible idea is the way to go

@Mike197602 Not to the extent that Ukip has. And certainly not trough lies and half truths.
Not to mention racism and ethnic prejudice

@Cherganski only one side "prayed" on fear???

So cameron threatening people with a nasty budget wasn't scare tactics then?

Can't say much about which is better for your country. But it seems that these days, all over the globe, people are desperate for change.

@Cherganski I doubt those who voted for the separation thought the same.

l think it's been pretty clear even within hours of the result that it's a terrible idea

Yes, it is really stupid to leave EU just because of immigration issue.
In this case, every other country that imports or exports to UK will have to slap a tariff to the products because there is no free trade agreement between UK and other countries.

@Cherganski They can choose not to take in any immigrants or contribute to funds that help the immigrants, but then EU will not give very good trading terms to UK.

@scheng1 Exactly. It's definitely not a good solution is it. It's a loose/loose now

absolutery right on all points. And it does't solve the immigration non-issue. The UK still has to abide by EU laws if they want to trade with them. they'd just have no say in those laws anymore

I'm German. All the media I've seen so far are full of negative comments concerning the outcome of the referendum. We have problems understanding the Europhobia of so many Brits.
Obviously, you live in the UK. It would be a good idea to mention this on your account site.

It's the same here. Anybody objective would only have negative things to say because this decision isn't good for anyone

Oh yes l'm the same. Violence is the last thing we need right now.
So far there's only been vandalism and verbal abuse if reports are to be trusted. but it's not a big spike in these crimes. l don't think anyone would start riots or stuff like that because they would have done it already

But the majority is the law now. The other side of grieving and the other side are rejoicing.

Sadly some of the younger voters didn't show up. In this case the majority was comprised primarily of people who won't even live long enough to deal with the repercussions. Sadly it looks like hate was just alittle bit stronger than common sense

@Cherganski When I voted Grace Poe and lost the presidency in the presidency, I feel the same way. I just hope Mr. Duterte will become a better president than the one I voted. Hope the decision in UK will do good for the people. I just heard the PM stepped down.

@ilocosboy l do hope it turns out well it would just take a miracle. A decision like this makes no economic or political sense. not in the short run not in the long run sadly.

Can't keep all of the people happy all of the time, and all that! The trouble is most of the propaganda and hate came from the 'Remain' campaign - if you're looking to blame someone, blame them as those are the ones who really shot themselves in the foot...

again nothing to actually back your claim. l urge you to go out there and just learn a few words in a foreign language see how long it takes you before somebody tells you they voted you out.
The nerve of some people

I'm so happy with the result.
The temporary dip in the FTSE is just that...temporary.
All this trade nonsense won't happen...we BUY more from EU countries than we sell...do you really think they want to lose our business?
Also what you say is pretty insulting...I'm no racist or ethnic hater, what a load of BS.
I just want our elected officials to run the country, not unelected faceless EU idiots.
