Bugger! I love being part of the European Union; I believe, with all its faults, it’s a force for good, and for peace. The trouble with referenda is that they are rarely only about the subject on the voting form, and there are many in our society who, with justification, think that the gap between the haves and have-nots has reached obscene proportions, and therefore vote against what is seen as the current status quo. Interestingly, the two land borders that we have with the EU (N Ireland and Gibraltar) both voted decisively to remain. Could be problems there. We’ll have to wait to see what form of “brexit” we end up with. No-one seems to know, least of all the “Brexiteers”. I don’t think any of us knows how expensive, divisive and isolating it’s going to be.
