ONE LAST TIME: Brexit, for the VAST MAJORITY of Leave voters, was about xenophobia

140. I think that no one actually thought this thing would pass.

I think they thought it would be close, but everyone would come to their senses.

Turns out, a lot of 'em didn't. And a LOT of people who voted LEAVE actually were voting for those "non-local" neighbors they have to LEAVE--the racism behind the vote is disturbing.

I was watching the BBC today, and there were a couple of old ladies cheering on the decision, who pretty much were happy that their neighbors who couldn't speak proper English would soon be on their bikes, as it were.

And funny how all the LEAVE enthusiasts -- at least those in public life -- have very little to say. They're thinking "Shit, this might not work out as well as we think--the EU isn't going to be giving us "Most Favored Nation" status anytime soon...." All those trade agreements...gone. All those favorable financial interactions...POOF. London as a centre for European commerce? Buh-bye! Jobs will be flowing to Germany and Paris...and the English-speaking jobs? Dublin will benefit ENORMOUSLY.

I wonder how many Englishmen will LOSE their jobs as a result of this dreadful, xenophobic election?

It's a sad day for UK.
