As bad as it seems (and it seems pretty bad), I'm not sure it's as bad as all that. People seem to have voted more out of catastrophic ignorance than hate. Today's Google stats tell us that Britain basically woke up this morning, boggled, and then started frantically Googling to find out what it was it had just voted itself out of. The news has been filled with people saying that they voted out, but didn't really think it would happen, and were just trying to stick it to the government.

Yep, we've basically screwed the country, and potentially half the world, by accident. Sorry everyone. What's worse is that the majority of young people - ie, those who will really be affected by all this - voted to stay. So we've screwed them over too. Sorry kids.

At this rate, Cameron is going to be remembered as the bloke who did a Pontius Pilate on a whole country. "Don't look at me! All I did was ask a lot of unqualified people to make a complicated economic decision for me. Not my fault they didn't know what they were doing. Bye!"

*headdesk* doesn't begin to cover it.
