and eventually..... Adjustment
It is not clear where we are as a society at the moment, but it looks like denial.
During this stage it is to be expected that things will be rocky. It is the most dangerous stage because there is a real possibility that unnecessary damage can be inflicted on oneself by cannoning around randomly. Yet none of this was un-foreseeable.
Indeed, Peter Hain (saints preserve us) foresaw it, as was noted on this very blog in February 2014. He wrote:
It goes beyond Europe and even beyond immigration. Some of it is plain bigotry. A lot of it is deep, deep antagonism to the political class, of which all the major parties are part. Under New Labour – and it has still not been wiped away - there has been a big disillusionment with us as a party among white working class traditional Labour supporters.”
Had the BBC been doing its proper job as the broadcaster in the national interest, it would have been picking up this thread. Instead, it did then as it does now, and tries to patronize the subject away.
In its current frenzy to prove that it was right and everything is going to be horrible, and how dare you squalid little oiks challenge our might and refuse to watch our crummy Top Gear after we've paid a fortune for an aging DJ and an affable American, the BBC has forgotten one thing:
The BBC's own pension is in that stock market.
I am not suggesting the BBC babbles like a lunatic PR trying to talk up duff products. But I am suggesting that it might want to have a drink of water, wash its tear-stained face, and start remembering that it is Us it is answerable to.
That includes apologising to people who were told that this was just a little local difficulty, no big deal, they should just ignore it and shout 'raaaycist' as that would make the problem go away.
Both sides of the referendum decision have been served poorly by the partisanship of the state broadcaster we all so expensively maintain.

The Beeb has been like a cancer infecting the very things that made this country a great place.
It has gone from being the propaganda arm of nuLabour during T B-Lair's tenure to it's own Ministry of Truth. Impartiality, balance and fairness have all been abandoned at Broadcasting House. It sees it's self on a par with our corrupt political elite. Spewing forth it's own distorted programmes in an attempt to brainwash it's audience.
Perhaps we should have a second referendum, only this time on whether to put the Beeb out of it's misery and our lives for good?

If you keep reading and see the many benefits of this procedure, then you're going to see why it's worth your time.
