and as I’m already seeing the “oh my god England why would you do this” posts from non-Brits, please know these things before you start being judgey:
- Vote Leave won by a majority of 2%, and fewer than a million votes could have swung it the other way
- Over 70% of young people wanted to remain, as opposed to 60% of older voters wanting to leave
- The Tory government were elected with the support of only 24% of eligible voters in 2015
our government is, in all honesty, a shambles
give tumblr’s demographics, chances are your British followers reading your posts are not the ones who voted leave, and we are watching our economy and future prospects crash around us
please don’t be arseholes about it and mock the decisions that we did not make
Signal boosting this for other US folks trying to mock this, or make light.
