Being blamed

Smileless if you have to, there are plenty of I voted to leave t-shirts on redbubble.com. The one I like best is I voted to leave - help!

Jalima I thought he really was a remainer but I read several articles about how he had for years been sceptical of the EU and in the out group
Welshwife he was like me then, but a remainer in the end, although worrying about the future if we did vote remain.

I put on the news and what am I presented with but Farage acting like an overgrown 15 year old in the EU parliament. there is tennis on too, whitewave

No teeshirts yet, but some good stuff on here.

What about a floor cloth?
Or something to clean the bird shit poo off the car?

Alice, would anybody dare to wear that one?

I like, "I will always love EU"

jalima I know that now. No good being wise after the event. Bloody man!

Are these British companies making these products?

If so - there is an entrepreneurial spirit alive and light at the end of the tunnel ....

radicalteatowel is a South Wales company, but not all their materials come from the UK.
You can read their story, and their ethical policy on the website.

Alice.

djen The help t-shirt was a joke!You're right; no-one would buy it. I also like Delia's t-shirt, sadly wearing it before the outcome: "Let's be havin' EU"

Isn't it the job of terrorists to spread the fear we now feel? This referendum has destabilised not just the UK but Europe as well and lent succour to Trump, Le Pen, Putin and our own home grown racist thugs. We were warned by the experts but Leave rubbished them. The Leave campaign leaders lied and exploited the fears of those sections of society who have been neglected and sneered at for years; those less educated people, who blame migrants for all ills, believing we had lost our sovereignty, ignorant to the core about what the EU is, admitting their ignorance but just wanting to "stop the immigrants" . Boris did have a plan, a plan to be PM, the only plan that so far seems to be on the way to being a success. Or is it? If the Tories choose him to lead their party and by default the country, those of us who are trying to understand and respect those who voted to Leave will probably sink into utter despair.

You couldn't use it to dry the dishes, though, could you!

To blame a whole generation due to statisitcs is wrong.
To blame a generation, when one has not voted, is totally wrong.

But I can totally understand why a younger person, whose future is at stake, who campaigned for REMAIN and who voted REMAIN - feels totally distraught about one's older loved ones having voted OUT.

The Tony Benn teatowel you could.
I have a think left apron. Use it all the time. Washes really well.
I have a Tony Benn fridge magnet.

and fear is the prison

Brexiters, please read.

I saw a very old chap on the tv news today, not sure if it was national or local as I was only watching/listening half-heartedly by then.

He could barely sit up, had difficulty breathing but he proudly said he had voted 'leave' and said 'let's make Britain great again'.

I see why some of the young people feel as they do when the tv keeps showing people like this, and also ones who say they wish they hadn't voted to leave now.

I saw that quote earlier and was going to put it in my optimistic post.

A fridge magnet - yes, an apron - yes
But I couldn't wipe the dishes with the teatowel! - whoever.
It seems a bit rude somehow, especially since he has died.

WE should perhaps recall that during both Word Wars the vast majority of the UK population was manipulated by propaganda. It's not that hard to do. Convince them their country is great and the other country is bad.
During WW1 there was thousands of casualties being listed in the papers, day after day, but there was still a mass delusion that the war was going well, that it was a Good Thing, that their country was in the right and that young men in their families were being cowardly if they wished not to go to the front.
In WW2 (to be more trivial) the entire nation were convinced that carrots would enable you to see in the dark. (a cover for the discovery of radar - or is that an urban legend?).

This isn't me, Jalima. It's made me think twice about the Apron, too.

Carrots do apparently have a lot of beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A, which is good for your eyes - if you have a deficiency your eyes are unhealthy, and carrots would make you see better, so it is not entirely a myth. A cleverly chosen one, perhaps, with enough truth to stand up to imnvestigation.

Certainly if you ate too many carrots someone would probably be able to see you glowing orange in the dark.

Do you think Trump eats too many carrots?

Well, they are traditionally associated with donkeys.
