Two days in and I still can't wrap my head around it

Somehow, I'm still pretending this is not real in my head. I feel a lot like Ian McEwan, who writes, "Brexit, the most pointless, masochistic ambition in our country's history, is done".

I still cannot understand voting yourself away from a union built on the rubble of a wartorn and divided Europe, a union based on solidarity, freedom, human rights, and peace. A union in which historic perennial enemies became friends and wars became unthinkable.

I'm trying to cling to my hopes for Scotland.

My odd browser won't take to the Guardian article without crashing of konnipshit but same. Well put: I still cannot understand voting yourself away from a union built on the rubble of a wartorn and divided Europe, a union based on solidarity, freedom, human rights, and peace.

He summed up Brexit well. Stupid little England. Hope you Scots can break free. Leave the sinking ship.

I'm still convinced all those Brexiteers are the ones buying all the loo rolls.

I hope the Scots can break free, too. Friends of friends who work for parliament say there is some very serious consideration.

Hahaha that makes a lot of sense, given the sentiments that most likely lead to Brexit...
