I ' d far rather deal with a merry band of disenfranchised leave voters than the economic , political and social fallout of Brexit . Boo hoo , some people aren ' t going to get their way . But at least the country won ' t have been economically crippled and consigned to the political doldrums for a generation or more . Seriously , what ' s the worst leavers can do ? Riots ? Yeah , right . They ' d shit it at the first signing of a police horse . Vote UKIP ? Crack on , it ' s your democratic right , and I ' ll happily listen to you whine as we deal with the issues that lead to this national act of self harm . Screw the hardline eurosceptics , embrace the marginalised people whose voices went unheard until this referendum gave them a chance to say ' fuck you ' and let ' s sort out the problems of inequality and disparity of opportunity that plague the country . But let ' s not try and do that from the basis of an economic climate that will ensure everyone has to put themselves first , and reduces our capacity to care for the least well off in society .
