Marilyn, I fear for the future too, like you, whatever the outcome. The job will be that much harder – let’s hope you’re right as actually you probably are, about the better aspects of society prevailing, quietly, while some of the less decent minority make a lot of noise!

Gill, I do hope you are right, about people – all of us from our leaders to ‘the man in the street’ and the media – being brought to our senses. Even so, it is alarming to think that the future of the country will be decided by people, again, that’s most of us, on a guess or a whim or a grudge. We’ve needed facts, we’ve been spun wild promises and violent threats.

Thank you, Penny. Yes, the whole affair has been been thoroughly disillusioning, thoroughly shameful. Let’s hope that the terrible murder of Jo Cox may shock all concerned into at least conducting the last few days before the referendum in a more civilised fashion. Whatever the outcome, the outlook for the future is compromised.

Mike, this seemed to come on twice, with Gill’s name added the second time. A sort of echo effect, but then Suffolk is a long way away. Seriously though, I’m glad you agree. I don’t normally expect to go so heavy, but things have got to an unpleasant pitch, haven’t they? It’s frightening.
