EU Referendum

[Smiffy]

It is interesting that the majority of the over 45's (excluding myself) voted Leave, despite enjoying a lifetime of relative peace and prosperity in the EU, whereas the majority of younger people voted to Remain! :mmm:

The younger generation mostly voted "stay" because they don't know it any different and they have a future, which includes Europe.
The older generation who voted out are looking at the past through rose tinted spectacles.
Remembering how great this country was. The "bulldog spirit".... Yeah right.
The place was a doss hole in the late 60's early 70's. The laughing stock of the world.
British Leyland, 3 day weeks, strikes, strikes, strikes.

In which case, get yourself a Saga credit card & preload it - then get cash from cash tills. You get the full bank rate and no transaction fees. But because of the referendum effect, and its now only 1.23 you still have come out better in this instance

By 30 Euro's it would seem


And I don't do credit cards.
Because I am a knob, they've got me in to trouble in the past

Correction, they HAD a future that included Europe. Our best hope is to get a new Prime Minister who can negotiate a new deal with the EU and then win another referendum on that.

Me too - but the missus has a head on her shoulders

Fair enough on the 30 though.

Typo. I did in fact mean HAD a future.
My Son, who is at Uni, is already thinking about pulling out.
He is devastated that we left.

I would say this genuinly sums up a great deal of the youth right now. I'm completely devastated, and it still hasn't entirely sunk in

Now Nigel Farage has said that the 350m won't go to the NHS and was a 'mistake' and another leading figure said that they never claimed that they would bring down immigration if we left. So can the Brexiters be challenged in court on running a false campaign and therefore annul the results and have a second referendum..




Also the great British public have decided to educate themselves by googling 'What is EU' AFTER they voted. So we have replaced the stupid yanks in the global stupidity index

Give it a rest!

Think they where below the national average turn out.

As was the Scotish and NI vote.

I think it was made clear enough that there was never a figure of £350m saving - the nett differential between what we pay to Europe and what we get back was £10 billion per year, and the EU tell us what it has to be spent on.

Let's face it, both sides of the campaign gave us horror stories, scares and false information- they are career politicians and they are masters at using words and phrases that don't exactly mean what they say. In some ways, and I wouldn't want him, Donald Trump is refreshing because he says what he says and does is from a business mans point of view not a trained political graduates, yes it's often outrageous but it's more honest.

He can always get a job picking fruit in the UK, after all the East Europeans have been sent home!

Mmmm...and some were wondering why some felt that not everybody should be voting on this........

And let's not forget that this referendum is advisory and has no legal binding.
The Government don't have to go through with it and now the guy who laid the referendum out for us is going, what's to stop Westminster turning round and saying No, we're not doing it...especially with such a small margin of victory.

Immigration?

I'm not a betting man but from past form including 2585 posts on the subject, I'm guessing that, yes, you still will be moaning about immigration.

Because if bojo or Gove, one of which will be PM, renage on their promise after all the crap wet have been through then they will have no political future at all. And that is all they care about.
