Social media has been awash tonight with people blaming Brexit voters for today's events, and now, not surprisingly, Polly Toynbee in The Guardian has joined the fray.  Not much sign of respect from those people.

Was I talking about you, in particular? We are an island nation, that is what has formed us and our outlook over centuries, you cannot get away from that.  We have still managed to be pretty damned successful, I would say.
