Fiona Nelson van Loon: Disgraced. Concerned. As a mixed English/Dutch family I am worried for our future and amazed at how leave have won (just) on arguments that were largely factually incorrect. A very very dark day & guess what, the economy is in freefall already-nice job leavers, good luck fixing this. Although as someone else mentioned, we will need to pull up our bootstraps and find a way to make it work☹️.
Stephen Jopling: Relieved, phew it was close!
Karen Hutchinson: Really sad and worried and very disappointed that all the factual arguments of the Remain campaign counted for so little.
Paul White: Amazing news, Boris for PM
Patricia Minta: Oh what have we done!!! It’s going to be costly and we have all become more politically aware which may be a good thing
