Someone saying some businesses reporting imported goods up 10% overnight and more than 20 % of orders cancelled because of the vote, and another family business has had £200,000 worth of orders cancelled with jobs now at risk.

Maybe there'll be a very loud noise sweeping the country soon.
The sound of millions of Brexit voters sucking their teeth and saying 'Oh ****, did I do that ?'.

Well, I live in hopes.

Everything bad that happens from now on will be blamed on Johnny Foreigner up to his dirty tricks to do down Great Britain in revenge.

Some may do that. However more will, I fear, simply double down on blaming "immigruntz" and the rest.

(so no, I don't share Peter Jukes confidence it will be the "vast majority")

Have not calmed down yet. Saw an EU flag on a car in Sheffield - never seen that before. Applauded, hope they saw me in their rear view mirror.

Then a quite hideously revolting BBC radio news bulletin, which went: Gove saying Cameron was a great PM; Peter Bone telling Sturgeon to get back in her box; some pleased voters in Tipton who talked about nothing but immigrants; Hodge savaging Corbyn. Half expected Farage to come on and tell us he'd annexed the national media.

Nathan Gill, the Ukip leader in Wales, said the setting was significant.

"Chartism was founded in Wales; it was a grassroots organisation. We have a grassroots organisation.
There are people here from all political parties. There’re all kinds of different people. The Chartists knew
what they wanted – the fundamental causes on their charter. We knew what we wanted, we could boil it
down to one thing: we want our country back."

Random word generation from Gill above - he's not got the first idea about Chartism, fundamental causes or grass-roots
