It's going to be a rough ride at first but unless people can get together with it and except it, were all going to loose.
In my life time at least, the citizens of this country have tended to respect the results from elections. It is one of the things that imo makes this country what it is. Mob rule was something we used to observe from a safe distance going on in places with a less stable democracy than ours. I find this sudden distaste for our democratic process and online petitions trying to move the goalposts after the match has finished very unedifying. Then again what do I know? I'm old therefore I must clearly be an uneducated, stupid, racist little Englander with the IQ of a retarded blue bottle.
The hysteria, particular amongst the young, in the last 48 hours has been ridiculous. This is not the end of civilisation as we know it. It's a bump in the road. Yes it's a big bump but it is not, and will not, be terminal.
Since I was at secondary school I've lived through:
The 3 day week and almost daily power cuts. The winter of discontent and the miners strike.
The Government having to go grovelling to the IMF to save the country from bankruptcy.
Race and other riots.
IRA bombs on the tube, trains, buses, places in London and elsewhere, 9/11 and 7/7.
The oil crisis, Black Monday, the ERM, Black Wednesday, and the collapse of the banking system
We got through those (and many more besides) and we'll get through this
I'm not one for rose tinted spectacles and saying everything was better before. Of course it wasn't. Virtually everything is better now, however the one thing that isn't is the contempt for the democratic process which millions of people died to protect, and for which tens of millions of people have died in other countries trying to attain. Everyone gets a vote, everyone is free to cast that vote how they see fit, no-one is obliged to justify how they voted and everyone is expected to respect the result. That is the way we do things here and too many self-important people with overblown senses of entitlement seem to be forgetting that.

Good find. So over 3 million from the UK right now.

The most likely scenario is probably a General Election followed by a wartime style Coalition of pro Eu parties.
The lack of visibility from Boris and Gove is stunning. But not quite as mind blowing as seeing Cameron run away like a little girl/boy. (edited for pc).
The first paragraph of Cameron's obituary, many years from now, will include:
"He quit at the crisis moment of the Century so that he could Go on Holiday."
