This EU anarchy is more interesting than the alternative

Don’t know about you, but the healing process is proving difficult from my point of view in dealing with my friends and family. My daughter, who is 9, broke down and cried over breakfast when she heard the result. Which is nothing to what her class will do: to a child, they’re solidly pro-Remain, and I know who’s spreading the message too – one of the little girls’ fathers is a journalist who worked himself up into a state of incoherence at the very thought of Brexit… he’s probably lying down in a darkened room right now.

A colleague of mine whom I’d always thought of as rather a good friend won’t actually speak to me now; she has discerned that I may not be wholly on side on the result. Another colleague has been going into meltdown on Twitter; she’s just about holding it together.
