Facebook was absolutely shocking following Brexit. My sister voted leave and her facebook friends called her daughter of Hitler who wanted immigrants murdered and they wished her imminently to be born baby to die in her womb. Needless to say she was bereft, and I have been beaten up by a maniac who claims I've ruined his daughter's future by voting leave. Political talk is no longer engaged at work as you never know who is listening. I haven't fallen outwith folk though as I refrained from social media for ages after the vote!

Not sure about the first half of that word!

I'm not sure what oron means.

Morris Dancers. We Brits, of all and no political persuasions, can stand together, shoulder to shoulder, and laugh at them. Unless it's raining.

Your sister needs to be more discriminating about who she "friends" on Facebook. I have friends on Facebook that voted both ways, and there was no unpleasantness at all.

If we have a second one and remain wins out will we then have a best of three? Or would it be the usual thing with EU referendums where we only have voting until the correct outcome has been made? Also will British people who left the country after the last referendum be allowed to join in?

I only had two London friends who voted Leave, now I have none who did so. And they have a lot less too. Bragged their stupid heads off afterwards, so I have zero sympathy.

We are two nations now and always will be. This will last for generations.

"Dad, why can't I travel, live, work, study freely in the EU when all the others can?"

"Because your great granddad never left the 1950s, and ruined it all for you".

This is all a bit academic, but any second referendum would not be asking the same question as the first one, and there'd be no need for a third. Also, we are not being pushed into any further referendums by the EU - they just want us to leave ASAP!

It is entirely up to Parliament as to how many referenda we have and on what topics. Parliament can, if it so desires, decide it will start by offering us a referendum on the "hardest of hard" Brexit option and then, should we reject that, continue to offer us additional referenda with increasingly "softer" Brexit options, until either the electorate decide to support a particular Brexit option or, having, exhausted all such options we end up holding a referendum on membership again.

That would be incredibly democratic - as the demos would have multiple opportunities to vote - but, I suspect that the electorate would be sick to death of referenda by the time we were through with deciding.

The country has always been divided.
North v South.
Workers v bosses
Town v gown
England v other parts of the UK
Rich v poor
Posh v plebs
Protestants v catholics

This is nothing new. Things will eventually settle down to the normal levels of mutual contempt that drive our society.

Why would anybody want to willingly be friends with you?

This is a ridiculous post. Future generations will not be comparing themselves with "the others" in the EU, because we will be out of the EU. They won't even think of it.

In any case, I'm sure there will be lots of ways of travelling, working and studying in the EU or anywhere else for that matter just as there was before we joined.

Why can't you realise that if we are two nations it's not because of those who exercised their democratic right to vote how they wanted, but because of stubbornness on the part of those who won't accept that.

Bang out of order and easily one of the most disgusting comments I have ever read. An apology is in order.

Aurichie you have made me laugh so much this year. Keep it up. Simply hilarious.

I've no idea. Perhaps you could ask them all.

It'll be the huge wads of cash you lavish on them.

Email from a young soldier to his Mum and Dad: "We were in a bit of a battle yesterday. We won (just) but it was close. I wasn't hurt and we took some prisoners. They spoke a bit of English and one old boy said to me - Why are we fighting? You're young. In my youth we could all travel to each other's countries and visit friends, have a few beers, and a bit of fun. No problems. Why did the old ones in your country turn your back on us?. I couldn't answer him, Mum & Dad. Do you know?

Where was this battle and BIB, did they need a visa?

Of course future generations will resent it. I know many young people, some of whom were too young to vote last June who were really upset by the vote to leave. They'd grown up taking for granted that they'd have the freedom to study and work all around Europe just like some of their parents did and all this was suddenly taken away. There weren't the same opportunities before we joined the EU and there won't be after we leave. That's the whole point!

Whatever people's reasons for voting leave were, I'm quite shocked that most seem to have no sympathy or compassion at all for these youngsters who feel they've been denied future opportunities through no fault of their own. The general feeling just seems to be "You lost, get over it, stop moaning!", which comes across as extremely heartless to me.

Someone in another thread posted a YouGov poll which suggests that 46% of young people would like to call off Brexit altogether.

Individual EU citizenship could potentially keep some remainers happy

Will they not want to apply for work or study visas?

You can't have read any of your friends comments then?


aurichie, why are you friends with trevgo?

I guess no-one knows how that will work yet though do they? Perhaps it will be similar to getting a visa to work/study in the US? Not impossible but not with the same freedom as people currently have in the EU. Exchange programs between UK and European universities will become far less common I'd imagine.
