Please don't draw lines and reject those on the other side, build bridges
It's the idea I reject. Fully and totally. That the break-up of Europe, and the knock-on break-up of the United Kingdom, is in any way good for the economy or the people of this and other nations.
I've never been in favour of borders, yet last night we have collectively chosen to strengthen ours and to create new ones.
Bridge building is a wonderful thing to ask for, but the Leave camp have voted against the very principle of that.

This. It makes it very hard for me to remain pragmatic about all this. I'm finding it a struggle not to want to just lash out and throw my toys out the pram, when that's basically what 52% of the country have just done.

Wouldn't it be ironic and moronic if Leave does not get any immigration controls as the UK stays in the EU common market and all this was for naught?
Still better than the alternative of locking down and going full "We want the people you need, and if we don't need them anymore we kick them out" green card systems.
I've lived in Vienna, I've lived in The Netherlands, I've seen Germany, all those places are OK if the UK makes it so hard for people to work and they want STEM people that EVERYONE wants, why come here?

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.
