David Cameron's broken Britain

I used to be a fan of direct democracy. L et the people decide, not the politicians. Sounds great on the face of it, and if we get a "bad" result, tough, that's democracy, the people chose. I feel so saddened by the June 23rd decision by the people of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland though. Sad for my children's future and sad for the message my fellow countrymen have sent to Europeans and the rest of the world. Some proportion of "Leave" voters are just petty racists who "want their country back". They are not going to get what they want. They live with people from all over the world. Their next-door-neighbours, their own family members, themselves. Just in case any of those people read this, for your information the only humans on planet Earth who are not immigrants live in the Rift Valley in Kenya or Southern Africa. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2015/09/150911-hominin-hominid-berger-homo-naledi-fossils-a...
