Feeling "Brexited"

Have just got back from a weeks' vacation (to get over all the time off we had with the strike....yikes! what's happening here). I was working up to a few blogs, then Brexit hit, frankly I'm dumbfounded by the whole thing. Britain actually voted to get out of Europe, hard to believe, I'm still in shock these past few days! The collective memory of why we joined has obviously already faded, there are tirades across the media and particularly moving posts from Facebook friends, across the globe.....Yet the majority in Britain voted out.......
I can try to distract myself, building sandcastles on the beach, but even here in Rurutu I feel like something big has changed, even if it's just the way I feel about my British identity.
