Squeezing in a quick Brexit thread before the result is known in the next couple of days...

ok, something that isn't discussed much is the age divide on this issue - basically, most young people want to stay, most old people want to go.

So here's the problem: Brexit is likely something that can't be reversed. Now I don't buy into the alarmist arguments against leaving, but its very likely there will be some negative consequences, and the British will have to live with those consequences for decades to come. And yet if the leave vote gets up, the people who enabled that vote to get up - ie old people - will be dead soon, and won't have to live with the negative consequences of a Brexit. Its the young people - who will overwhelmingly vote against it, who will have to pay.

I don't think thats fair. Discuss.

The really sad thing is that government has been able to install this wedge between us at all, in an ideal society government would hardly ever be heard of and the will of the people via the forces of the free market would rule supreme.   

The fact that government is always at the forefront instead of being at the rear is the abomination, government has manipulated itself into this position in order to perpetuate its own self for its own ends, government is just a racket, no different from the mafia, an organisation that government could quite easily use as a role model.

The most telling thing about the entire issue is that the British are not prepared to give up the Pound Sterling. And any idea that unity is strength, in the European context, has been dispelled with the collapse of their borders. In this case, unity is weakness. The young will most certainly inherit the consequences.

rule britannia Herb.
Why did such a powerful and influential people give up.
maybe all the powerful and influential genes are lying in the fields of the Somme and only the meek and fearful cowards were left to pass on their beta male genes.
Tragic Herbert.
I used to love watching movies with the mighty redcoats delivering the "good news" to the various  scrubby nations .

If the OUT! vote wins it could signal the beginning of a move towards the 'Right' in the UK leadership. It could be the start of dumping multicultural ghettoism for assimilation.

There are prisoners in the UK who can't be deported because the Court at The Hague says these offenders have a right to 'a family life' which they would be denied if they were sent out of the country.

This sort of nonsense will not be remedied if Britain remains a captive to foreign courts and bureaucrats.

Unfortunately Britain is now totally compromised up to the back teeth with all its millions of immigrants since the 1950's. The horse has long since bolted. Any promotion of British nationalism is now immediately shouted down as RACIST and a snub to the millions of newcomers.

Britain's leadership has been in the hands of girly-men for decades now.
