Post Brexit frenzy and hate crime taking a toll in the UK. Really sad.

Car paint scratches? Oh yeah, are we suppose to panic or mourn?

Extra insurance claims for body work, however minor they are, will add up to the cost of whole campaign.

People being shitty to foreigners (and damaging property) are out of order. Sure, the spike is a matter of a few dozen more incidents a week, but that makes a few dozen more people who are going to have trouble sleeping at night, walking around their neighbourhood by day, going about their normal, lawful business.

These twats need to be dealt with and dealt with hard. They don't represent the 52% of us who voted Leave.

Then lets hope the insured has a high deductible. The press has really been milking Project Fear.

This one is amusing:
The EU referendum has caused a mental health crisis

I think the Guardian has a console of buttons with a range of emotions they can push at will, and the lentil eaters react on queue.

For sure, and we know they have always been there way before the referendum.

We've had the same thing in the US, except they were beating up Donald Trump supporters. Some people will use any opportunity for any reason they can come up with.

Phos, you're being a dick.

Brexit is quite a big deal for the United Kingdom. Almost everybody - on both sides of the fence - is worried about the future. The atmosphere is poisonous. I don't even live there, but I've been insulted several times over the last five days. I dread to think what it's like to be brown skinned or Polish speaking at the moment.

When Brexit is squashed - and it will be, I can assure you - things are likely to get even more ugly. This has been brewing for twenty years or more, and it isn't likely to end with gentlemanly handshakes, beer and sandwiches.

Revolutions are never pretty, even - or especially - failed revolutions. So a little less triumphant squawking from disinterested, thrill-seeking foreigners like you would be appreciated.

Cheers. Now piss off.

I saw a video clip last night taken on a London bus. Some Yobbo spouting anti polish crap. I find that disturbing, but not particularly surprising.

What I do find really disturbing however, was the fact that the vast majority of the rest of the people on the bus were just sitting there staring into space, fiddling with their phones. Something close to 52% of them voted leave, and the other 48% didn't.

Most bus passengers in London don't wear stab-proof jackets.

And the reason for that is that they've spent so long not doing anything that they now need to.

Well, really - who wants spittle on their croissant?

Not sure I'd classify scratching German cars as a hate crime, but maybe a lesson for EU countries wanting to be 'nasty' if it leads to a popular boycott of EU goods, then it could backfire.

Well, the 3 women who reacted to the yobbos weren't wearing stab proof jackets, and they weren't all that concerned about Gipfele or Spuk.

Sorry, but this sounds like a typical day for a large metropolis when the weather gets hot in June. The difference here is it is all gathered and attributed to a referendum some would like to squash.

Not where I come from. Also not wherever I happen to be and this kind of shit happens.

The people committing those crimes feel emboldened by the Exit vote. Had Remain won, they would have still been racist idiots but much more difficult to find as they'd be keeping a lower profile. I'm glad they're being flushed out. Another unpredicted (by me) positive result of the Exit win.
