Which thread?

Jane you don't know what will happen yet, this is just anger and disappointment talking.Understandable in the circumstances, but to talk to fellow Gransnetters in a rude, or arrogant dismissive fashion is not on ( although quite few of you are doing it.)

Roses I can't and wont apologise. I feel personally so deeply shaken up and disturbed by the appalling step a proportion of the electorate has taken that I can only continue to think the worst of them. This is a national emergency and I can't understand why some people cant see that. Maybe they don't see the bigger picture. No point in exchanging opinions. We can only agree to disagree - intensely.

OK (shrug)

What do you do, roses, when something about Brexit comes on the news? Put your fingers in your ears, shut your eyes and say Lah, lah, lah?

no, listen with great interest.Why, is that what you do?

what I can do easily though, is shrug off all the acrimonious, insulting and often downright bitchy comments from some on here who are angry at the outcome of the referendum.

No one makes anyone read any thread. Of course there are bound to be a lot of threads about it. Get real.

Or start yer own knitting one.

the worried comments I can understand, but not the other kind.

Or perhaps yet another "I've fallen out with with my daughter/dil/partner/milkman.

Rosesarered,

May I politely point out that it wasn't 'well over half the country', it was 51.9% of a 72.2% turnout. That's all. A very narrow 4% and that's why people are angry.

Isn't this a thread about other threads?
Yes

No, it wasn't half the country, but it was a slight majority of those who bothered to turn out to vote, which was a higher percentage than normally do vote.
Many others who could have voted did not bother so they have no right to grumble.
Quite a few of those were enjoying Glastonbury, which shows where their priorities lie.

That is how democracy works, like it or not
I don't like it but there we have it.

Shall We start a Christmas thread and have some good cheer
I am off to put the sprouts on

and the

One of my sisters lives in an area where the vote was 51.9 out and 48.9 remain. That's scary, isn't it?
The turnout was 79.6%

The remainers were the most aggressive on the pre referendum threads and now they're doing their stuff on the current threads. It beggars belief how they are getting so worked up. Perhaps they should take something to calm themselves. Their knee jerk reactions are very immature. We're only 4 days after the event. Let's face it, at this stage, nobody knows how things will turn out, Why is it that the remainers think they already know?

I agree far too many threads about threads re the referendum! its all speculation what people are talking about and far too early to know whats going to happen....

isnt that against gransnet guide lines 'threads about threads' ?

It 'beggars belief' that some people cant seem to understand the trouble the country is now in. However, I'm sure the harsh reality will soon intrude and even they will notice.
