SHALL WE REMAIN OR SHALL WE LEAVE: June 2016 REFERENDUM

After a wonderful treaty was signed when I had no clue how to read English- an antiballistic missiles treaty was signed- and antinuclear weapons in 1972.

The UK under E Heath managed to be admitted to the European Union in 1973, as member.

2 downfall and recession arrived, one in 2008 for Southern Europe- as well as the UK and another

consistent recession in 2015.

The first ‘’IRON LADY’’ disliked the tight measures of rules and measures on matters of different nature of the European Union- Members dropped in its parliament. 1995 The EU reached the great success of nearly 30 members-

All the failures inside the recessions issue to be attributed to the ECB, and the strict and unrealistic way for the liberalism pathway.

A thought- after the 1973 referendum to get in- let’ s vote to get out.

 speeches here and there with fury and passion- we WANT OUR INDEPENDENCE AND ECONOMY BACK.

One morning and weekends and many others- a crowd of mostly young British people- distributing pamphlets- PLEASE VOTE TO REMAIN- - VOTE TO REMAIN in June 2016.

One girl in particular was used to speak to me in a soft way- asking me if I was pro or con the UK leaving the EU, I said with a bunch of pamphlets in my hand- walking fast that I was against, but surely enough I could not vote.

They used to invite me and other groups of people coming out of the tube stations to the political gatherings.

Some Europeans seem to be there- Europeans- not British- from their accents could guess.

The atmosphere pre-referendum was nice and friendly- Aggressive Bumping messages- brain storm regression. VOTE TO LEAVE!

Nightmares at night - WE ARE GOING TO WIN- AND OUR ECONOMY WILL GET STRONGER AND STRONGER-

Let’s have our GB back in our hands!

Asking myself many questions- lying in bed after work and at weekends with my laptop.

Those voices bumping in my head! 

The results are quite known, of the referendum- what about the overall outcome?

Memories of nice gatherings waiting with pen or pencil to sign even if not British TO REMAIN- Clapham North Tube station.

I still remember 2 questions of a nice and tall- serious expression British guy asking me:’’ where are you from and what are you expecting to do here in this land in future- near future-?’’

Signed- one among a list of many to the left- non-British signatures-

‘’grab something’’ and say good bye! He said gently.

Not quite sure what he meant- BREXIT 2021.

My last reflection- when things do not go the way we expect- or THEY expect- whose fault?

They craved for NUMBERS- STATISTICS- do statistics work on practical terms in the long run?

Memories- Social Medias were less used- though were there hidden!

EUROPE- which fault do you bear? Which Europe?

A sound of a landline phone ringing far away- stood up and picked up the receiver up-HELLO.

I was a possible legal guest-

NO VOICE-

NO VOICE THERE- AND HERE

NO VOICE.

‘’Put down the receiver’’- embracing my mobile phone, the voice said.

NO CALLS- working weeks- 37 hours.

RING- NO RING – NO VOICE-

PUT DOWN THE RECEIVER OF THE BLACK LANDLINE PHONE.

NO VOICE-‘’ VOTED TO LEAVE’’-THE ONLY VOICE I HEARD.

After being a legal guest- grabbed a job- not heaven, but down to earth- ‘’guest of a gay couple from Spain whose time was spent watching films in their language- and making me believe that I had tons of supporters in the Podemos party- Tons of supporters in a country I have never lived and worked-only 3 shorts visits in my entire life: SPAIN.

Deep psychosis- voices that I had supporters among the Podemos members?

I asked them what PODEMOS was. Who said that!

Google- as reply- and more.

Puzzled of nonsense-got up early in the morning catching the Tube- Northern Line- and another nice funny and very warm train- I could have walked- Barbican get off.

Puzzled- the psychotic couple finally left- the UK for good.

Looked after their nice dog- when away on holiday, the couple.

Once I asked them what they were saying in Spain in the political party PODEMOS- YES, WE CAN.

Latest memories- driiiin driin driin 2 calls- one- a man: ‘’they voted to LEAVE, put down the receiver’ ’and another from Italy- that said: ‘’it looks like you are not currently in Italy’’!

‘’Did you need a job?  Italian landline phone: ‘’PUT DOWN THE RECEIVER’’

REMAIN!

Never uploaded a video in my entire life!  Never found out who was the mysterious man’s voice on the other side- NO COMMENTS in the office the day after. British and mostly European Community colleagues sitting at their desks like me. NO FURTHER COMMENTS. Nobody voted.

REMAIN! ‘’MY VOICE SAID’’

VOTED TO REMAIN TO MYSELF.
