re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU
Jason Manford posted something on FB which I totally agree with...

Right I need to go to sleep! Been reading and replying to your Referendum comments for over an hour! There are still so many undecided people and that is the fault of both of the ineffectual campaigns.
Best of luck finding what you think is the right way to go, read what you can, even in publications you don't usually agree with. Try and read what people are saying even if you hate everything they stand for. Chat to your friends and family and even your children-at the end of the day, it's a decision that affects them the most.
Most importantly though, just be kind. Just because someone is voting Leave it doesn't make them an uneducated racist. And just because someone is voting Remain doesn't mean they're naive sheep! Be thankful that we live in a country where we are allowed to vote at all and be proud of our ancestors who got us this far.
The truth is, nobody knows anything! It's largely guess work and even the people who appear the most knowledgeable, those leaders who've let us down so badly, those who are using it for political gain and point scoring really don't know either. Nobody knows the future. The most important thing is, that you vote, for something, either way. That way you can look the next generation in the eye and say 'well, At least did something. I read what I could, I tried my best to understand it, I went with a gut feeling and I did it for you, for your future'.
Best of luck to you all,
Gnight,
Jason
