Effect of Brexit

[Tobes]

Lets face it, there were millions of half-wits voting for leave and remain. Ours won because of the humiliating rebuff given by the EU to Cameron whilst on his begging mission. Victory could have been yours with a small pragmatic rule change, similar to being sought by other EU members now.

There were far more half wits voting Leave, as the higher the education level the higher the proportion voted Remain;

The level of higher education in an area was far more important than age, gender, the number of immigrants, or income in predicting the way an area voted, the researchers found.
Age and gender were both significant but not as important as education level, the researchers found. Income and number of immigrants in an area were not found to be a significant factor in how people voted.

Another interesting stat is that due to the age demographic of the leave vote combined with the current mortality rates in that age segment, that 40% of the Leave majority of 1.4m......are now dead.

Ah well, the result turned out as the correct one, the joys of democracy.

Rather ironic that by the time it actually comes into effect the entire Brexit majority will be worm food though.

But those souls died happily knowing the UK will be set free again from the clutches of the nasty foreign Johnnies.

Not doubting you, but do you have a source for that stat?

The baby boomer generations last 'gift' to the UK......

Having lived most of their working lives with the benefits that the EU brought to this country, they decide whilst sat in their mortgage free homes, drawing their final salary pensions, that we should hark back to a 'better' time when there weren't as many Poles about........selfish old ****ers

We need a few poles about to clean our large expensive cars.

The hand car wash will die without Romanians, another sad side effect of Brexit

Seriously though, don't you think your generation should have maybe given more thought to what your kids and grandkids wishes were in terms of staying or going?

Why do people always assume that pensioners who voted to leave, did so for immigration reasons? Makes me angry

 

[geitungur akureyrar]

I want to know when Britain left EFTA and joined EEC you left one trade group for another. The population had a vote to join the EEC and the people wanted to join with the richer European nations. Did the politicians tell the people that they were not voting for entering trade group and voting instead for a European super nation because they must have known what Helmut Kohl, GeorgesPompidou and Valerie Giscard d'Estaing wanted when the newspapers did not report that?

What makes you think we did not think of our children and grandchildren?

p.s.

Two of my elder daughters did not speak to us for a couple of weeks after we admitted to voting for Brexit..... peace and quiet for a brief spell actually!!

Not just immigration, but the entire jingoistic, nationalistic, flag waving, the good old days of the Empire thing....

They obviously do not possess the high level of intelligence as enjoyed by their parents.

I bet they've got mortgages, kids and no final salary pensions though............

I voted leave because I wanted our laws to be passed by politicians I had the chance to vote for, and for those laws to be relevant to my country!

Which EU laws are you most looking forward to be being overturned when he 'get our country back' then mate?

Their incomes are vastly superior to ours.

90% of eligible over 65's voted in the referendum, 70% voted for Brexit. Does this reflect a lifetime of political experience, particularly dealings with the EU over the last 40 years?

I think it reflects a nostalgic Nationalistic, misguided, backwards view on the World personally, a rear view mirror glance to what 'things used to be like' without the honesty of the fact that they were a bit ****, no offence like.
