Woman Cries After Brexit Referendum Results are to Leave European Union

  • 0:00 - 0:03
    [offscreen] And, uh, so, Beverley, how do you feel?
  • 0:03 - 0:07
    Um, I'm incredibly deflated.
    I'm really sad.
  • 0:07 - 0:12
    I think... honestly, how I feel?
    I feel like hate won.
  • 0:12 - 0:13
    [offscreen] Sorry, what?
  • 0:13 - 0:17
    I feel that hate won.
    I feel like...
  • 0:17 - 0:24
    I feel like racism is a bigger problem
    in my country than I thought it was.
  • 0:24 - 0:32
    I feel... I feel like we're watching
    the stirrings of fascism
  • 0:32 - 0:37
    in Europe again,
    and I genuinely never thought
  • 0:37 - 0:41
    it would be my country that did that.
  • 0:41 - 0:45
    I didn't think it would be us
    who would run to the right.
  • 0:45 - 0:51
    I didn't think it would be us who'd
    turn our backs on the rest of the world.
  • 0:51 - 0:54
    I thought this would be America.
  • 0:54 - 0:59
    I thought America is the people who are so
    filled with hate, not us.
  • 0:59 - 1:07
    And I'm so disappointed.
    I'm so hurt.
  • 1:07 - 1:13
    I'm really cross with the older people
    in my country who've done this,
  • 1:13 - 1:17
    because the majority of the people that
    voted this way were older people.
  • 1:17 - 1:21
    They weren't the young.
    The young wanted to be part of Europe,
  • 1:21 - 1:26
    and they aren't going to have to live
    with the consequences of what
  • 1:26 - 1:31
    they just voted for.
    The majority of these people are over 75.
  • 1:31 - 1:37
    They don't have a future in this country
    the way we have a future and an investment.
  • 1:37 - 1:45
    They've chosen to vote... they've chosen
    to vote for the past instead.
  • 1:45 - 1:51
    And they should know better. They've seen
    what division war can do to our country
  • 1:51 - 1:55
    and the rest of Europe and the world
    as a whole. They should know better,
  • 1:55 - 1:59
    and they should be ashamed of themselves,
    for turning their backs
  • 1:59 - 2:04
    on the rest of Europe.
    What is so bad about Europe?
  • 2:04 - 2:09
    It's full of kind, thoughtful people,
    all of whom speak a second language.
  • 2:09 - 2:12
    We just don't here.
    We don't embrace Europe
  • 2:12 - 2:18
    the way Europe embraces us.
    It's selfish and it's thoughtless
  • 2:18 - 2:20
    and it's callous.
  • 2:20 - 2:28
    And that's pretty much how I feel
    about tonight's vote.
