Not only that I haven't had a proper night's sleep since last Friday morning when I got the #Brexit news, I'm also starting to get traumatised by what's happening in the UK. I feel like being in a straightjacket looking at a whole country going down the drain committing harakiri:
- The Leave campaign was based on lies. The liars admit it and nobody seems to really care.
- The Leave people have absolutely no plan what to do now.
- The government is headless and has also no plan what to do.
- The opposition is busy with themselves getting rid of their leader.
- Xenophobia is on the rise, foreigners are being bullied on public transport, racist graffitis sprayed on walls, and a Polish community centre is being vandalised in London.
- GBP is on a historic low, prices are on the rise.
- The credit agency S&P downgraded the UK, other agencies will follow.
- There is a petition to get another referendum reaching 4 million signatures.
- Apparently, more than 1 million Leave voters regret their vote.
- It becomes also apparent that this was a protest vote.
- Demonstrations are happening, people raising their voices to remain.
- Society is deeply divided: rural Leave vs cities Remain, older people Leave vs younger people Remain, England/Wales Leave vs Scotland and Northern Ireland Remain.
- Scotland in particular but also Northern Ireland think about leaving the UK and stay in the EU, the UK as we know it might cease to exist soon.
- The Queen seeing her country fall apart is frantically travelling to NI and I'm sure it's not a normal routine visit.
- Brits abroad are scared of the unknown future ahead.
- Europeans in the UK (like me) feel likewise.
- Stock markets around the world are in turmoil, shares are falling freely.
- This inability to act makes the UK the new international laughing stock.
So may I ask in all politeness WHEN ON EARTH DOES OUR PARLIAMENT AND GOVERNMENT ACT AND GET US AND OUR COUNTRY OUT OF THIS DISASTER AND BACK TO NORMAL; WITHIN THE EU, THAT IS?
