So it's all done, we are leaderless, friendless and have a currency that has fallen through the floor.
I fell asleep early last night and woke at 2.30am and then stayed awake to watch the drama unfold. It was exciting to see democracy really at work, to see a decision made where every vote actually counts (perhaps we need a referendum on alternative voting again).
So what was the view in the UK when the "Brexit" was announced?
This:
Nobody was laughing, nobody had taken to the streets to celebrate, nobody was gloating but it was a truly beautiful morning, another morning, the same as yesterday and tomorrow.
I was awake when they called it at 4.40am, I'd been watching for 2 hours and 10 minutes. I considered having a cup of tea but decided to run instead and I am glad that I did. Too much time is spent worrying and on a morning like this, the birds were singing, the streets were deserted and the sun was welcoming after the poor weather of the last week or so and the World continues to turn, we all continue to breathe and love, the only difference is that the debate on this issue is over and it is time to mend fences, to make a fractured Britain whole again.
(I did have that cup of tea when I got home though)
