How has Brexit actually affected you so far?

Aldi were out of sardines. One of the first Biblical signs of the world coming to an end.

slowly kneel. then place your left hand on the left lip of the bath, and your right hand on the right lip of the bath. use your hands to maintain your balance as you slowly, carefully, stand up. then lift one leg and set it down on the bath mat. now the other. and there you are, out of the bath

Is this still a metaphor? I'm not sure what the bath mat's meant to be.

Is this still a metaphor? I'm not sure what the bath mat's meant to be.

it's meant to be a towel, usually a thick towel, placed on the floor beside a bath or shower on which you stand on exiting the bath (or shower) so you don't get water all over the floor. you might like to invest in one.

Have had a couple of pleasant conversations with people who voted leave. I said how much I hated how the campaign on both sides had been run which was why I'd spoiled ballot had but agreed the EU's become far too undemocratic so quite understood how they'd voted.

Can someone post a link to an interview with a left wing politician telling us what a great day this is for Britain and why, please?

I've seen Nigel Farage celebrating, Boris Johnson salivating, and we've even had Donald Trump congratulating!

Come on lefties, tell us what a great day you think you've helped them to deliver. Tell us why it was worth you convincing people on the left to cut off their noses to spite their faces! Tell us how you are going to take advantage of this situation .... because the right-wingers certainly aren't hiding their delight.

I have become a temporary fascist. I think that freedom of speech via social media should be suspended for 24 hours at least. I also think that anyone that hasn't had enough sleep, of which there are clearly many, need to go and have a long nap. I wish I could enforce this.

This was voted through by millions of people who thought that things could not get worse for them financially.Perhaps they were wrong let's hope not.

I got a discount on my burgers today

How has Brexit affected me? Well...

I've just been told I've got a pay rise and I've just had it confirmed I'm being made redundant.

Might have a drink this evening.

the lord giveth and the lord taketh away

i think the referendum vote will be used as an excuse not to give me a pay rise this year.

 

[a_chap]

To be fair I haven't had a pay rise in fecking years so it's partly recognition of that (I stuck by the company through turbulent times) and partly to help increase my redundancy package.

For the first time, I have engaged in political chat with people I work with. I have also chatted to my mates via Whatsapp about politics, which is very rare.

I'm currently working in Belfast, and living in the Republic. Since I'm paid in Sterling, I effectively got a 7% pay cut today.

 

[Chz]

I know the Mrs is busy re-pricing everything, because she works at a holiday company and the exchange rate just shafted them. Me, not so much.

We're going to move back to Londonia when Sadiq becomes President

£ : EUR was lower in Feb than it is now.

Now I can't get off the sofa

 

[editor]

I am really fucking angry.

 

[Orang Utan]

I am now thinking that Politics, Economics and Media Studies should be made core subjects at school.

I am really fucking angry.

OK, I'll get up!

This is true.

There was little to no referendum discussion leading up to yesterday. Lots of politics today. Not all positive though.

 

[ska invita]

I have been in this country for nearly 20 years. Never felt so unwelcome since the campaign started.

i still rememeber the 80s

For what it's worth, I don't think anything is going to happen in the short term. In the long term, as far as I understand it, it depends if we sign up to the single market or not. If we do then we will have to allow freedom of movement for citizens.

Some one will probably come along now and tell me I am completely wrong!

This seems to be the TOry line this morning. Would that mean we join Schengen? UKIP Leave voters are going to love that

Doesn't help that the leave side had nothing to say about what exactly would happen if we left. And of course the referendum vote itself leaves nbody any the wiser as to what should happen next.

I've got European friends who are bricking it though.

Let me help you with that: it will get far, far worse.

 

[Sea Star]

My racist neighbours getting drunk outside the off license this morning right under my flat and claiming victory. I worry now they'll be empowered enough to start giving me abuse again.

Can I interest you in a copy of Socialist Worker? Half price, 50p to you.

I'm one of the only leavers here, but the discussion has been amicable. Most people are critical of both sides for their scare stories and for the simplistic nature of the 'debate' on Facebook and social media.
