Post Brexit Britain what Positive things are we doing

Options
We have had a long running thread entitled
"If we vote for Brexit what happens"
This has generated thousands of posts. Many after the result continuing the same arguments that were posted before the vote.
We are now where we are NOT where we would like to be.
Now we are POST BREXIT.
This is the world we have to deal with.
What are we going to do. What positive things can ordinary people say or do to ensure we move on as positively as possible.
What can I do?
Well I will try to promises not to look backwards.
We must now look forward.
Has anyone any other helpful things we can do or say now or in the coming weeks and months.
There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.

    I think quite a lot voted just to pee off the.
    WIMLE brigade.
    WIMLE = White, Indoctrinated, Middle class, Liberal, Elitists.

    It has to be said, seeing them on TV crying and spouting repugnant abhorrent ageist death threats against older people in their fake put on student up hockey sticks accents has really opened even more eyes.

    When really they are just the spoilt brats of middle class bank of mummy and daddy with regional accents who have to put on a fake accent to think they will be taken seriously.

    Really, they have had a very short sharp lesson not in both manners and democracy, but in the fact that they are people with wisdom still left in this country and they outnumber the fake accented Wimle's generation.

    One day when they grow up, they are going to have to accept that the oldies were not prepared to sell the younger generations democracy for a handful of magic beans.

    After all they were robbed of their "future in the EU."


    EU youth unemployment rates "plastic degree or no plastic degree and fake accent"

    Greece : 48.9%
    Spain 45.3%
    Croatia 40.3%
    Italy 39.9%
    Cyprus 30.5 %
    Portugal 30%

    Oh indeed how they were robbed.
    I do Contracts, all day every day.

    I spoilt my ballot paper.
    With the debilitated global economies going nowhere fast, then this whole debate over who voted the right way is just emotional hot air.

    The referendum debates were appalling, it was an exercise to make out they knew what they were doing, about something they can't resolve.

    Now we are going to have the nonsense of negotiating to do what?
    These negotiations are going to be nothing more than brand protection of 'British Fudge'..._

    I would say those who were "following the debates" were better to spoil their ballot.
    If you had to listen to the professional windbags to form an opinion then you misunderstood what it was you were voting for.

    Become a fairer more equal society. That's a change that can momentum can build from within. Doesn't require a nanny state to issue directives.

    The world is going to sit still and wait. Decisions are made everyday.

    This whole process may just force the EU to declare it's hand. For me that's a positive for many a citizen in Europe.

    There is more than a suspicion that a lot of future EU direction is determined secretly behind closed doors.

    The UK has done it's dirty washing in public. Let's see how united the EU states are when it comes to difficult issues.

    Another positive is the need to come up with a much better approach than a simplistic referendum question, backed by the most misguided of campaigns I can remember.

    Cameron's hand was forced. The elephant in the room was left wandering.
