| I voted stay, because I have seen in my area the money spent rebuilding my town when our own Government tried to wipe us off the map. I have seen the voluntary projects such as Domestic Violence projects, Surestart, Old people's support, mental health services and nature reserve projects all paid for by the EU. However, I too feel that the EU itself is now too diverse to have a common political or cultural identity and that is a shame. I would have liked, not just In or Out, but a "shake it all about" option, I have heard racist propaganda during this campaign from some areas that has made me sick. I am not saying that people voted just on immigration and I am not saying that immigration does not need to be addressed in a small Island, but to say that was not what some people voted out for would be untruthful. I actually had someone say to me that they were voting out because there were too many Pakistani Taxi Drivers... I think a lot of people (like me) were afraid about Turkey Joining, and disillusioned with Romania and Bulgaria but I have genuine fears what the OUT vote will mean, and feel, with certainty, having listened to so many conspiracy theorists saying it was stitched up for in, that had there been such a close vote the other way, we would have seen rioting in the streets |
