If leave voting communities are finding that there are unforeseen personal consequences, I really don’t care.
You could argue that the referendum should never have taken place, as it's too complex an issue to hand over to the public, and far too easy to spin a leave narrative that oversimplifies the arguments.
People were misled (some people) and some.of them will be worse off for it, which isn't really their fault (in some cases).

I’ll go back to the first part of my last post - no one can reasonably claim that they voted for this thinking that it wouldn’t hurt anyone at all, they just didn’t expect it to be them.

Some of them were mislead sure, but there's an awful lot of people who are no smarter than me or better informed who voted for it. I didn't trust a single thing Farage et al said - why on earth did they? I find it bewildering.
Of all the people I know who voted leave (actually only five of them have admitted it, I'm sure there's more) one was a doctor (if there's one profession that should know not to trust a Tory govt, surely that's it?). Another was a politically informed (and I thought aligned) IT professional - particularly shocked by that one given he was working on a long term consultancy contract in France at the time.
I agree with @rodan - I think most Leave voters now need to shoulder significantly more responsibility than saying 'I was lied to by a bus'.
Fuck those that are now having to deal with the consequences of their actions - maybe they'll learn something from it.

Nobody voted for this thinking it wouldn’t hurt anybody. In fact for those who did so expecting there to be fewer immigrants, Muslims (somehow), and Syrian refugees, that was the point. If leave voting communities are finding that there are unforeseen personal consequences, I really don’t care.
