‘Scared for the future’: Internet in meltdown over Brexit vote

In the wake of the UK voting to leave the European Union, the internet has been reacting to the news in the only way it can, and a lot of people are clearly not happy.

They say a picture paints a thousand words, and that’s exactly how some people have decided to express their feelings.

Those who were hoping for a win for the ‘Remain’ campaign have been searching for a silver lining.

Look on the bright side. With the pound where it is the soccer hooligans can no longer afford to leave England. #brexit

Others though are very worried about what the result may mean for the UK’s future as well as for its people and the markets.

Genuinely scared for the future #EUref

Well pals watch my entire plan for the next 10 years be ruined by sky high flight prices and lack of free movement #EUref 😁

There was no shortage of anger among voters who clearly did not get their desired result.

WELL DONE EVERYONE NICE TO SEE YOU PUT YOUR RACIST VIEWS AHEAD OF ACTUAL FACTS, WE HAD ONE JOB AND FAILED WE ARE A JOKE OF A COUNTRY #EUref

Don't forget, this all started because spineless @David_Cameron wanted to keep his job. What a legacy, Dave! #EUref

Watching the repercussions of #Brexit feels a lot like watching at a terrible car crash. You don't want to look but can't help it.

In light of the Brexit, there have been questions raised over which other countries may follow suit, and what to call it if they do.

Loved this one!

It’s yet to be confirmed whether this actually was the Queen’s official reaction.
