I recommend this piece by Laurie Penny. A couple of quotes:
"I… want to go back to the soggy, self-deprecating country I grew up in, the country of tolerance and diversity and kind people quietly getting on with things, the land of radio sketch comedy, jacket potatoes, decent bands, and basic decency."
oh, god, me too
"...the best stories Britain tells about itself have never been about Queen and Country and Glory — they’ve always been the ones where the broke, brave, messed-up millions of ordinary people who live here pull together, help each other, and behave with basic human decency."
I was musing just the other day that it is the decency, common sense and determination of my fellow citizens that will get us through this, not the blond pillock or his cohorts.
