It's not a time for triumphalism. Not a time for division. Not a time for hatred. It's a time for change. A time for calm. A time in history

Woken up to carnage!!! The breakdown is interesting that 75% of young people voted to remain... Can someone explain the impacts of this?

In shock this morning, did people really forget that the main point of the EU was to end wars and create unity and strength?

Disappointed to wake up to the results that we are leaving the EU. There was no real justifiable reason strong enough for us to leave.

Simply stating immigration or economics is not justifying anything. Lots of misleading with not enough simply & clear info for us to digest!
