Devastated.
Too much? Too strong? An over-reaction?
Actually, nowhere near strong enough. And I couldn't find the words to describe how I felt at 6am this morning.
I haven't been able to find the words all day. I've even surprised myself by how upset I've been, and I've been trying to work out why that is.
I think of myself as positive and optimistic and I don't think I've ever felt less optimistic.
And I've always been proud to be British. Now, I don't understand what Britain stands for and I really don't like some of what I think it might stand for. Suddenly and unexpectedly, I'm disappointed by Britain and I'm ashamed to be British.
All this in twenty-four hours! It feels like I've been dispossessed of my country and I'm afraid I shall feel this way for the rest of my life.
It's made me incredibly sad.
