My liberal English friends on FB have worked themselves into a lather over BREXIT. As you can see, they're about ready to bail ship even though there's no land in sight.
Some of their panicked posts follow:
I am done with this country
Fine, you guys wanna leave the EU?
Then I wanna leave this country, it was going down the drain beforehand anyway!

Are Scotland, North Ireland and Wales going to leave the UK and rejoin the EU? Can we split England in half and have one half in the EU, the other half not? Or something???

My generation and my children's generation have been robbed of their future by one of the most dishonest political campaigns in British history.
As the pound slides to levels last seen in 1985 and markets plunge into turmoil across the world, I look forward to seeing that 'Brexit dividend' of £350 million per week being spent on hospitals.
I look forward to farm subsidises continuing.
I look forward to regional development funds continuing at the same rate and to the maintenance of all research and development grants.
The scale of the act of self-harm we have just committed as a country is nearly incomprehensible.

I was born and raised within the EU. England is nothing without the EU. We have no exports anywhere else. We produce nothing. We are not a very good tourist destination compared to the rest of Europe. We have very little land. England is stuffed either way.
