To be fair, there'd be less comments on that if the Leave campaign hadn't spent that much time campaigning on "Keep foreigners away!" (Never mind that the UK isn't in Schengen and got an out of migration).

To be doubly fair, wanting to lower immigration has nothing to do with racism.
Restricting immigration isn't racist per se, but a lot of the people campaigning for it are definitely pretty racist

I suspect it would have turned out as remain if more younger voters actually got out and voted. As I said before, I feel like I'm going to be telling people that didn't vote they have no right to complain.

"Immigration gets ignored" is a talking point that always seems to be used but it's entirely untrue. It was a major issue in the last election and Cameron renegotiated it with the EU.

If anything it gets a lot more discussion time relative to its importance than you'd expect.

I'm sure you didn't intend it this way, Martin, but that 'badly motivated' 'for all the wrong reasons' shit is getting touted a lot here right now by people using it as code to say 'People voted for Brexit because they're all RACISTS'. It's tedious as anything - just letting you know the current context/'climate' of those words over here.

For what it's worth, I agree with you about the megacorps and the banks.
Thank you for understanding that I meant it a bit broader that just "they're all RACISTS", and thanks for the heads up on the termonology hype.

All around social networks, pro-EU lads and folks are incredibly assblasted. And I thought "Old people shouldn't have the right to vote!" sentiments were exclusive to our post-USSR liberals.

I love that the person who created that image was too lazy to search for more tweets, so just included some multiple times.

Most of the time when someone is described as politically correct they are simply correct.

'I'm just one vote!' may be true, but it fucking adds up when 50% of your age group is thinking the same fucking thing!
+1 for the general idea.

Nicola Sturgeon is now calling for a second independence referendum.

Meanwhile, in preparation for the upcoming economic crisis, at least one pro-EU redditor from /r/unitedkingdom had to switch to a sock-based diet.

Strawman arguments won't work against a majority.

In the end, I'm okay with this. This looks like a reckless action and I feel for those who will have to live with it but someone, somewhere, will learn from this.

Political bodies always try to not change, I doubt the EU will fix itself but at least this breaks a status quo many felt about the UK.
