FREAKING OUT
Jun. 23rd, 2016 09:15 pmSorry, I know all my posts recently have been in the middle of the Venn diagram of ‘politics’ and ‘horribly, horribly depressing’. But guys I am FREAKING OUT about the EU referendum.
Thank God for living in Sardinia because I’ve been able to live in a state of more-or-less denial. Obviously Facebook and the papers have been full of it, but apparently posters in windows and leaflets and everything are ubiquitous right now in the UK.
I am TERRIFIED. I teach English as a foreign language, and when I was working in London, my students asked about it every so often and I assured them it wouldn’t happen. Because we’re not that stupid, and also having City boys and lefty liberals on the same side of the ball doesn’t often happen. So surely we would win?
And we won’t know anything for two hours yet because legally the exit polls stay secret until everyone’s voted, to stop them influencing the process.
If you don’t know much/anything about it I’m happy to give you the rundown, but this post isn’t about me venting all the many reasons, both idealistic and pragmatic, why staying in the EU is the best choice for the UK (and why everything I’ve heard from lefty Leave supporters is frankly ludicrous). It’s just about ( I AM SO SCARED )
