Having watched all this from the safety of my castle on 1300 acre's of land....

Here's my two pennies worth.

1. Both sides used ridiculous amounts of spin, lies what ever you want to call it. But I'm afraid to say, it was the "In"s that were the most venomous. I believe the continuos calling of the "Out" side racists lost them a huge amount of votes. My wife, and a few others we socialise with were on the fence, but the constant name calling and bullying made them vote out in the end. Reasoning? You only have to look at the final map to see why, this wasn't about immigration at all in the end, it was about wealth. The hardest areas hit by cuts had large majorities swinging towards out. Can you imagine how it feels for a struggling parent, who needs to go to a food bank, works when he/she can find work, but the rich, stuck up there own arse southerners are calling you a racist/bigot/xenophobe?? The dictionary definition of racists should be changed to " Some one who doesn't vote the same as you"

Facebook yesterday was a joke, 1000s upon 1000s were still calling openly, them racists, with the old pathetic chestnut of " If you voted out, unfriend me..."

2. Then, following on from the above. This is how the campaign when in some areas...How are you voting? Out...walks away and thinks " racist" When the focus should have been on engagement, ie So your voting out? Why is that then, what are you reasons...then gone from there. It was a poorly fought campaign from the In.

But its done now, change is not always a bad thing, And with others looking to follow suit, Who knows, a much better EU may come from this.
