Fuck Brexit

10 years ago I woke up in a tent in Glastonbury and realised that the utterly unthinkable had happened.

We spent the morning, we festival goers, wandering around in a daze. It can’t be true?! Can it?

It was. The magical otherworldliness of Glastonbury faded quickly that day as the real world, the horrible hateful reality, crashed over us.

You can track back a lot of what is going on now in the UK to that point. The single most stupid, selfish, ill conceived idea for a referendum.

There is nothing good to say about it. No silver lining. And it’s sickening to hear so many people who voted for it, now bemoaning it.

Morons.

  1. Agreed. Fuck Brexit.

  2. I wasn’t too much into the politics and didn’t know who’d profit or not.
    But when both Trump AND Putin said, that it’s a good idea, I was 100% sure that it’s the worst we as EU+GB could do. 🙁

    1. Wasn’t aware that Trump was around 10 years ago, in a political sense at least, but yeah if ever there was a harbinger of bad ideas…

  3. I live in Alberta and I’m watching the same thing happen here. It’s like watching a slow motion car crash

    1. It’s horrifying. You can see it coming but can’t quite believe it’s happening.

      All a bit ‘First they came for…’

  4. I was in Austria ad the WordPress conference (Wordcamp Europe) and yes i remember very well the feeling across the audience, damn unreal, bewildered as you say
