Britain Leaves The EU, What Now?

How wrong was I!!!


Waking up to this was so unexpected.

I strongly believed that Britain would be remaining in the EU. I didn't even believe the results would of been close, but to lose by over a million votes is so disheartening.

I believe in living in a country that helps others - "To a certain extent." - Yes definitely there should be guidelines but With Britain voting to leave the EU, what happens now?




What benefits are we going to see?

UK Politicians, Nigel Farage (UKIP) and Boris Johnson (Conservative) were both in favour of leaving the EU and they obviously highlighted the negatives.
The £250 million mememship fee paid each week to the EU,  as well as using the lack of jobs, the lack of school places and the pressure being put on the NHS as focal points to sell why leaving the eu was the right choice for Britons.

What other choice would Britons make?

"
Nigel Farage
Boris Johnson





















"But is it the right choice?"

What about the positives?

Freedom to work and travel, equal pay and non-discrimination, peace and democracy.

Politicians always use "We need to save money and our resources" as an excuse for anything they do, but with all this money saved where will it go?



Into building more schools, hospitals, houses?

No, schools will still be overcrowded, the NHS will still be overworked and social housing will remain the same. 


I've always believed that the reason this referendum begun, was primarily to do with immigration.  

The politicians believing this is the only way to stop immigrants from entering the UK.




With campaign posters like this, who would think differently?

Scotland were highly favourable of remaining in the EU and due to the results, the First Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, has called for a second referendum to make Scotland independent and this time it looks like they might get it.

A petiton calling for a second EU referendum, has become so popular that the website keeps crashing - I've tried but to no avail.

Another petition has begun, calling for  London Mayor, Sadiq khan to 'Declare London Independent', which has been signed by thousands of people including myself. #Londependence

I might have to move to Scotland, was thinking about America but then I remembered Trump.
