I'm done with Brexit. The country voted for it and has reinforced that vote in the election. I desperately don't want to leave the EU but it will happen.

This is one of the real tragedies of our time, and a complete disgrace for a so called civilised country.

The country actually voted against it 47% to 53% in the popular vote but our **** electoral system came up with a Tory landslide. That is the real tragedy.
 
Moaning about things is not unfortunately going to help. We have to accept the bad with the good. Let’s not be the reason things fail let’s at least give it a go. At least then we’ll have something genuine to moan about. <laugh>

sorry, I’m not ready for acceptance for something I think will be so bad.

Same for me.
I would sooner live with years of impasse and arguments, safe in the knowledge that we were still part of the EU, being protected by it’s standards and having freedom of movement etc, than have what we now have.
I really think that big business will fill it’s boots at the expense of the workforce, whose rights are under serious threat.

I know what you mean, but now the voting’s done and dusted we don’t really have much choice but to accept the results, and try and make sense of what happens next. I’m sure we won’t have to wait long for something to fail!

It's already having an effect Beds family who's winter ski instructor job is more than threatened. Other family with Erasmus possibilities unable to proceed. Engineer friends finding their applications are bottom of the pile. This is actual not scaremongering it;'s happening now. Moan valid or not.

Not to mention that my retirement plan to Spain will not happen now, owing to freedom of movement ending with Brexit.
