One would think that the fact the most googled phrase in Britain after we woke up in a post-Brexit world was "What is the EU" would be grounds enough for another trip to the ballot boxes. As it is though, this being the 21st century and all, we have a record breaking petition, signed by 4 million people and counting, some of whom seem to actually be resident in Britain.
Meanwhile, the shell shocked Leave campaign are starting to wish they hadn't banged on about the EU quite so much, whilst simultaneously back-pedalling faster than the England men's football team are currently getting off the continent. In a glorious twist of poetic justice, the newly independent Engalnd have been defeated in a sport they alledgedly inveneted, by a plucky team of semi-professionals from a country slightly more populous than Slough (and almost as bleak during the winter.)
It is too early to say what will emerge from the unprecedented political ashes of the Brxit bonfire, but suffice it to say here that the most important thing is that we don't allow those elements of society using the uncertainty as an excuse to push their rasict or ideological agendas onto us to do so. Whether it's people being abused in the street, or letters through people's doors, or indeed MPs trying to unseat a leader who bears no blame for the result of this referendum, we must stand up to this injustice, and try and rebuild something truly good (but not 'Great') from the wreckage.
