Brexit schmexit

That's what George says as he goes outside for his daily 8.30 am poo. He's not going to let a load of stupid politicians upset his routine.

Maybe we should all take his advice. It seems to me there is very little we can do to affect the outcome now. It's out of our hands. So we should bunker down, get in supplies, plant vegetables, and 'hope for the best'. 

As parents if our child comes to us wanting to do something we will find out the cost, and the likelihood of harm or long-term adverse effects; we will take expert advice if necessary. If it turns out that it is going to cost too much or cause them harm either now or for their future, then as responsible parents we would say, 'No.' 

They might kick and scream and lock themselves in their rooms but they'd come down for breakfast. Yes, they may still not be speaking to us but they'd get over it eventually.

It seems to me that the over-riding majority of experts from finance, business, the arts or science communities, have the same thoughts about leaving Europe: it's not a good thing. If only the government would listen and take their advice.
Excuse language!

I think it would have been better to stay and managed things better. It is going to cost this country to leave and not just in monetary terms.

I feel for you. The night that BBC announced the results of the referendum, I had the same feeling as on the morning that PBS announced the results of our 2016 presidential election. The crazies seem to be taking over the world! Hang in there (and I'll try to do the same).

Two and a half years later, we're entitled to feel a little exasperated, I think.
