gove and boris, pioneers of the leave vote, are literally MIA. like…no one knows where any of the leave campaign are

the chancellor is basically missing

we effectively have no PM

the tory party are in the midst of a civil war so brutal john major’s tenure looks chill

there may or may not be a snap election

the labour party literally barely exists as its shadow cabinet resigns en masse

labour’s deputy leader, hero of the story tom watson, spent the whole of the leadership crisis last night at a silent disco at glastonbury, while snapchatting

this fucking hilarious video in which it is revealed vote leave have no contingency plan and the presenter literally ends saying “i don’t know what to say to that”

no one actually wants to press the big red button (article 50) to start the process of brexit

this conspiracy theory appears to be entirely correct. seriously, read it. it basically suggests brexit is entirely impossible

nicola sturgeon, separatist first minister of scotland, is effectively the only leader with a plan: that plan being the break up of the united kingdom

For those of you who aren’t from the uk, the national referendum held yesterday has shown that the british people have voted (at 51.9% to 48.9%) to leave the european union. This was in large brought about by the old and poorly educated who blame immigrants for our problems, despite the net benefit they bring to our country, and the fact that many of these people will not have to live with the consequences of their decision for long

Less than a few hours have passed since the result was announced and already:

 our prime minister has resigned (though he was unpopular the people poised to replace him are far worse)

 the pound has fallen to levels not seen since 1985

 Nigel Farage (leader of the most prominent far right party in the uk and at the head of the leave campaign) has already started backing out of promises to voters by being unable to guarantee the money we’ll save from the EU will go to the NHS instead

the UK itself looks poised to break apart in the next few years with Scotland (and to a lesser extent northern ireland) having voted to remain in the EU which will likely prompt another scottish referendum in which they’re more likely to leave

the far right parties of other countries such as france and the netherlands are demanding their own referendums and europe is crumbling

Nigel Farage has claimed this our ‘independence day’ and called for a bank holiday, which is hugely insulting to all the countries who actually had to fight for independence from imperialist britain

Tim Farron (head of the liberal democrats) phrased it nicely "Young people voted to remain by a considerable margin, but were outvoted. They were voting for their future, yet it has been taken from them.“

Please know I didn’t want to leave you, okay?
