Since I have a lot of British flisters, I just wanted to check in and see how everyone is feeling about the Brexit vote. Are you happy? Sad? Scared? Excited?
Welcome to Fascist Island where your human rights will be torn up; your workers' rights - including the right to be safe in the workplace - will be out the door; the economy is about to disappear down the drain as businesses will move to EU countries; the NHS is about to become even more woefully understaffed - I just spent 24 in hospital for a surgical procedure and 2/3 of the staff who looked after me weren't white; and anyone who is poor, disabled, gay, a woman, or young is completely and utterly fucked.
Worried, grieved, ashamed & disgusted with my country - and not wanting to think about where we go from here and who's going to be driving. We just did the political equivalent of storming off to our bedroom, slamming the door and trying to pretend there's nobody else in the house. It's horrifying, actually, how much racism in England in particular this vote has laid bare. Awful. If it had been even a tiny bit less, Scotland would have saved us - ironically.
