Having narrowly lost out in the recent referendum, it is fascinating to observe so many voters for REMAIN seemingly wish for the absolute worst to now befall the country even though it would cause just as much grief for themselves as everyone else.
It is almost as if the chance to say "I told you so" in a fit of pique and high dudgeon would somehow be preferable to any possibility that the United Kingdom might actually become a safer and more prosperous place for us all as a result.
I suspect the world of psychology has a name for such paradoxical behaviour, but it suggests a form of madness to me.

Anticipatory schadenfreude perhaps? Although that doesn't cover their being hurt too. Perhaps they don't mind so long as they can gloat.
Won't happen though, the UK, with or without Scotland) will prosper. |

I'm a Brexiteer and I'm not worried about anything. I've not had a chance to be. Too busy acting as a counsellor for Remaindeniers who (and this is a direct quote from someone who up until this I had thought to be a sane and fully functioning adult) 'are needing to go through a grieving process for the death of an ideal'.
This really is the post-Diane endgame of over-emoting, isn't it? |

I think everyone needs to take a big glass of 'sit the fk down and shut the fk up', think more long-term and stop reacting to political events like it was some 'end of all days' sh1t that was happening instead of a democratic decision.

yes
people seem to have a desire to find lots of folk that will share their emotions a communal outpouring of grief or a "lets have a go at that lot" group seems very popular these days brexit will take at least 2 years and we as a country can still feck it up or make it work brilliantly same as just about everything else, its not brexit or remain that is the issue, its making brexit work !!! |

Fair points Donny.
My strong view is I will make sure it works for my businesses post Brexit just as I made it work for them pre Brexit. It's called personal responsibility. If I can't make it work it will be my fault and know one else's. The whingers, whiners, losers, workshy, chancers and those with a deep rooted sense of entitlement will continue to be the same whingers, whiners.....you get my drift.....post Brexit as they were pre- Brexit. |

Although i think nothing much will change for me now (maybe in 5 years due to tech advances)
I think we will have big opportunities for the young if willing to tack advantage of it and not just sit back and go Pokemon hunting. As for the young(16) wanting to vote, did you know anything about the world and how it works at that age to be able to vote? not me |

Was thinking of something like "nothing more symptomatic of the facebook generation than...."
But I am thinking of the main culprits that I know of, and they are 50+. Getting all bedwetty about the whole brexit thing and people's responses to terrorism etc. |
