I didn’t realise at the time that a consequence of the Referendum would be lasting dissension, divisions between family and friends and such levels of abuse. Did you foresee this?
I have made this point before.
The whole Brexit situation has been kept alive and kicking by Remain voters, some of whom refused to accept the result of the referendum.
They and Remain media have kept the pot bubbling. The government hasn't helped with it's lousy negotiations for the UK over three years, but is that a reason to fall into a pit of despair Jessity?
If it has a great affect on you, then OK, but you'd be the first person I know to be losing sleep over House of Commons machinations.
Our politicians make me angry - what's new? People are disturbed and angry about the way we have made no Brexit headway, but it's hardly affecting this pensioners daily life. Politicians get paid a great deal of money to take that strain. If they want to play silly buggers in Westminster, let them. (They could lose their seats come the next GE, but that is something MPs have to to consider.)
It is in Remain interests to ensure they spread the news that there is discord and families are at each other's throats.
For a minority, that may be the case, but online keyboard warriors tend to be mild mannered and polite in public life and very few are likely to accost or insult people who hold views different from theirs. Online they might curse away or belittle and sneer, but ask yourself Jessity - is your family torn apart by politics?
No, thought not. Neither is mine.
The only time I ever get involved in political discussion tends to be online. My home life and family life and social life is interesting. Some people in my life may hold different views from mine, but nothing is heated and no one falls out.
That headline is designed to have people like you fall into the trap that we live in some sort of dystopian, warring world, and that society cannot function since the referendum, etc, etc, etc. Doom and gloom.
Remainers WANT you to take a gloomy view. Was life better in 2015? I don't recall. Lots has happened since 2015 to make me believe life is good. Some things have happened which have saddened me, or worried me. Guess what - the referendum and leaving the trading bloc that is the EU haven't been at the top of my worry list.
Don't be taken in by the opinions of journalists until you have worked out their bias.
