LITTLE BRITAIN?
"It just feels like everything is going to shit really. Just because 'Terry from down the road' "reckons" that immigrants are stealing the jobs he won't apply for. It was definitely an issue of race and class amongst the older generations but the results are going to damage young people the most. I'm gutted"
"I felt guilty mostly as i prioritised being a lazy shit over voting by proxy despite knowing that i would be at Glastonbury Fest at the time of voting. Despite normally having a general interest in politics, after Brexit i felt withdrawn from the whole thing because the perfectionist within me felt like i had lost and let everyone down by not voting, and i wasn't ready to face the very real consequences that Brexit would unleash"
“It won’t affect me directly because I’m retired and don’t have to worry about things like jobs and wages as I have a pension. I think that a lot of people haven’t thought about things as simple as importing everyday things like meat and dairy, or even something as simple as travel – is a passport going to be enough to get to Europe or will it become more complicated? I think that the whole thing turned into an argument over immigration when the truth is that immigrants coming to the UK don’t ‘steal’ jobs from British people, a lot of them do the jobs that many British people are too proud to do. I was very disappointed and surprised that we voted to leave the EU because I had always thought that we had a great relationship with the EU”
“I wanted to stay in the EU so I was very disappointed with the outcome of the Brexit vote. It’s worrying because I don’t know what the implications will be for me personally – I’m more concerned about the younger people, like my grandchildren. Are they going to be able to get a good job? What sort of an affect will this vote have on them?”
