Which Way Now?

7th July 2016

What a good week to be away. The aftermath of Brexit apparently causing discontent and ill-feeling almost everywhere, and to top it all England get beaten by Iceland. Being away I didn’t write my blog last week, and although it may be a little late now, I still thought I might add my thoughts.

First of all, although I was pleased with the results of the referendum, there should be no need for smugness or insensitivity. This clearly meant a lot to a lot of people, and just because some of us may feel optimistic about the future, of course there are many who are worried, scared and in some cases panicky about what the future may hold for them. Everybody has different circumstances, and consequently will have had good reasons for voting whichever way they did, and naturally we should all respect that. People, I hope, will have voted for what they felt was best for themselves and their families. Depending on what their businesses are, and how they see their finances and security in the future, will have helped them decide on which way to vote, and rightly so.

The thing is whether the vote went the way you wanted it to or not, we are (or will be) out of the EU. So it is now up to all of us collectively to make the best of the situation we are in. There is no point in moaning about it, and more importantly, we should certainly not be talking ourselves and our economy down. It could be all too easy to talk ourselves into the next recession, and then say “well we told you so”, or “that will teach you for voting out!”

Too much negativity will inevitably bring us all down, and why would any of us truly want that. So now is the time to unite, to work together, to help one another, and maybe, just maybe, things will turn out better than any of us could ever have hoped for.
