How has Brexit actually affected you so far?

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.
Today is definitely not a day for looking at social media. Days like this we're lucky to have urban :)
 
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.

It really doesn't take much for some people to think its ok to be assholes.
 
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 feel good about this side of it. I like the referendum, i like the democratic power of it, and although i think the stakes have been raised worryingly high for the whole of europe (and think that it was reckless to do this now), i like that its going to activate a lot of politics across the spectrum. Everyone is going to have to step up and work out exactly what side theyre on.
 
I'm not at work today but glad I don't have to face work colleague leave voter who actually brought a union jack in yesterday. Much more the flag than the leave voting, I might not have been able to control myself and I don't want to be sacked in the current climate...

Me too, but Im glad I dont have to face anyone on either side.
 
Couldn't bring myself to vote for remain neoliberalism, couldn't line up with the gruesome politicians and messages of leave. Abstained. Same cunts are in charge today as yesterday, nothing's changed at that level.

Same time, some very predictable things are going to happen in terms of British capitalism, with regard to currency, investment and jobs. Can't deny that's going to be grim in the short, maybe even the medium term. Same cunts are in charge, but the same people are going to suffer. :(
 
£ : EUR was lower in Feb than it is now.

I know currency ebbs and flows, I was just looking at the exchange rate and seething.

On the flip side a friend works in the republic and lives in the north. Technically he got a 7% pay rise today.
 
Still fucked off and angry.
My mates, who are mostly 2nd gen immigrants / Europeans are fucked off too.

Facebook is pissing me off.
Stupid stupid cunts.

I voted to leave but this piece by one of the IWCA supporters makes good reading especially in the aftermath of the referendum.
A plague on both their houses…
