I've been extremely polite on Facebook with zero result. I agree with your views, it's pointless to go do a US vs THEM. But holy shit ... there's been a lot of "lalalalala not listening" instead of "yes, I am willing to take the risk"
(I live in NI BTW, so I know what it's like to be on the contempt of Westminster end)

Again, to those remain-ers persistently saying they are disappointed / scared of the future for a inward looking UK and the disappointment for the rise of bigotry means for humanity, please remember that is damaging. It is prejudiced to think that all leave-ers are racist, to think they are in effect 'enemies' to a liberal future makes you close minded in the London bubble. If you grow to fear that those living outside London as being phobic then you too have become part of the problem. If you want to 'jump ship' before your doomed future is realised then that will also contribute to any rise of the right as they will be less opposed. The problem is ignorance and eduction, welcome each other always and forgive those whose view does not include the whole of humanity. You have the power to help all by changing someone's opinion, by making someone humanist. To those outside Boris' home hurling abuse and protest, wake up, we are not a country of racists and your anger will not heal or nourish anybody. If you respond to little Englanders with friction and contempt then the divisions will get worse. Please don't draw lines and reject those on the other side, build bridges.
