Ok, we are out, what now?

I have to say that actually, I think the posters on gransnet are reacting better this time around than they did after the last General Election. Thank you.

Pretty mild I'd say compared to the words flying around our house!

daphnedill - life will be improved because of what will now not happen.
No EU army, a likelihood of controlling immigration numbers, and none of the whatever horrors the EU had lined up for us.

I realise for you, that may indeed all be a minus, so yes, for you and others, you may not think your life is going to improve.

People on both sides if the camp seem to have forgotten we are already part of the "CommonWealth". As such no one government in the Commonwealth exercises power over the others as is the case in a political union. Rather, the relationship is one of an international organisation through which countries with diverse social, political, and economic backgrounds are regarded as equal in status and cooperate within a framework of common values and goals as outlined in the Singapore Declaration. Such common values and goals include the promotion of democracy, human rights, good governance, the rule of law, individual liberty, egalitarianism, free trade, multilateralism, and world peace which are carried out through multilateral projects and meetings which include the Commonwealth Games held once every four years.

Was she referring to my use of the word"a#se" I wonder?????

We need to stay cool and let the Remain fraternity express their bitterness which I hope will not prevent them, in time, realising that democracy has worked. Hopefully they will be big enough to accept the decision of the majority and pull together to make sure that Great Britain prospers. David Cameron compounds my disappointment in him by resigning. Another broken promise because he said he would stay whatever the outcome. He should stay and work towards enabling the wish of the people.

If the result had gone the other way would there be a petition for a re run? I don't think so!!!

@ Homefarm,
But it's not the future almost 50% of the population wanted and now 100% of the population will have to live with the consequences.

The whole sorry spectacle has split families, communities and political parties. How bizarre was it to watch representatives of the same party on opposites sides of the debate, e.g. Boris and that engaging young Scottish Tory, Ruth Davidson! I'm not a Tory and never will be, but there was no comparison.

I'm particularly sad as my grandson has become a 'foreigner' overnight and my job and that of my daughter has/will disappear with the changes to Erasmus grants system.

I fear it was Boris' wish to reside in No 10 aided by Gove the kingmaker, which caused this seismic shift and now we will all have to live with the consequences.

Thanks daphnedill and Elegran.

It may now work....

The site is up and running again and is now over the 100,000 mark.

If you voted 'remain', this petition may still be worth a shot as the vote was less than 60% in either camp and the turnout was less than 75%.

I am saddened by the level of animosity and venom vented on forums and FB today and I include my own family

Agree x

Translated - We just have to bite the bullet and make it all work. No use crying over spilt milk, (and various other annoying cliches)

Swearing? Where?

I hope that Gillian Duffy is still with us. That's the woman that Gorden brown sneered at.
I hope that white van man is still with us. He's the man that Emilly Thornberry sneered at.
They are having their day.
I hope it's shown the uneducated morons that they do have power and they will be listened to.

daphnedill there were clear and concise arguments from both sides. There was also a lot of utter rubbish said by both sides. We made a decision based on what we heard and what was in our hearts and how we felt.

Nobody was right or wrong. I'm not worried, and I won't be worried until something happens to make me question my decision and I fear that would have happened either way.

We have to put our trust in self serving politicians and they almost always never deliver

Do we have to have swearing? I find it very offensive

Not what I voted for but the most important thing now is to stay friends.

Look at what is already happening, homefarm. Some of us DO actually care about the future of our country.

I am so angry that just over half the country has voted for what is effectively a jump off a cliff with no actual plan for the future. And all for absolutely nothing, apart from costing a hell of a lot of money, losing jobs and ruining young people's future plans.

Nobody, absolutely nobody, has said how life will be improved by this stupid decision.

Agree with homefarm. Best foot forward and all that jazz

Very well put

The petition was started last November.

@Candelle

It's here

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/131215

but petitions are down for maintenance :-(

Unfortunately, I think it's too late. The petition states 'We the undersigned call upon HM Government to implement a rule that if the remain or leave vote is less than 60% based a turnout less than 75% there should be another referendum.'

It should have been like that in the first place!

What a lad of doom and gloom. The future will be what we make of it. Fear mongering will not help. Think positive and smile

Smaller things are being overlooked I think. The EU at present can overrule our judges and laws. There are many directives which affect small business, the fishing industry and so on. These are being ignored in the discussions regarding immigrants, and finance. I call them "smaller" issues , but surely they are important too.

It will melt into the bottomless abyss, DD
