And I'm sorry if this comes across as prickly. But another friend of mine just got told today that his contract will not be renewed because of "uncertainty about the future status of Northern Ireland".

He just had his second kid and is considering emigrating.

So I'm watching as a bunch of rich fucking liars in the UK rip apart MY country, and watching as 52% of the UK population goes along with this bullshit for reasons that look mostly like xenophobia to me.

I have a friend in London from the Balkans who is leaving the UK (and she had her entire life there) because of this bullshit and the open racism she's increasingly dealing with since the referendum (lots of "Why haven't you gone home yet?" and "I thought we got rid of you lot").

So am I angry? I'm fucking livid. And sorry if that leaks into my posts sometimes.
