I'm beginning to think there ought to be some kind of intelligence test before voting papers are handed out!Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

Sadly, though, the vast majority of those voting for Brexit aren't bright enough to understand the implications of voting the way they did.
They believed the lies about the £350m pw for the NHS (now accepted as a lie), all the other lies that were told, and all the other catchy little slogan-lies about 'regaining control' and 'getting our country back'.

Aren't there enough Brexit threads on MSE already for this kind of hyperbole?0 -

Unbelievable. this is a thread about good and bad buys, not a chance to sneer at anyone who doesn't share your opinion.You're only young once, but you can be immature forever0 -

Actually, the discussion was around recent price increases in Aldi and Lidl (and elsewhere for that matter) because so much of our food has to be imported.
The large drop in the value of the pound directly caused by Brexit is now causing everyone, with a particularly hard impact on the so-called JAMs, to pay more for food.
It isn't sneering at people not sharing a particular opinion - it's reflecting all the research carried out into why people voted Brexit and their educational background. Not for nothing is it that the Daily Express is such a strong campaigner for Brexit.0 -

I'm not convinced that the prices in Aldi or Lidl are significantly up. What kind of figure should we be looking for in terms of the "large drop"?
I was in Aldi today, and I think the only price rise was on Pomegranate juice drink (from 55p to 59p). I can cope with 4p and that's the kind of rise that could be caused by literally anything.
Meanwhile, down at Morrisons, petrol is 109.5p/l.0 -

This isn't just offensive, inaccurate codswallop, it is offensive, inaccurate codswallop on the wrong board.0 -

The research shows that the majority of people who voted remain have a higher education standard than those who voted leave. What the figures also show is that more older people voted leave and they would not have been given the opportunity to obtain a higher education.
When I was at school in the 70s only the very select few went on to higher education, whereas now most young people are given the opportunity.
The prices may / will rise and the Remain camp will blame Brexit regardless of the reasons.You're only young once, but you can be immature forever0 -

And given the miserable educational standard of some of the applicants for jobs I see, notwithstanding their grade-inflated degrees in all manner of dubious disciplines, waving contemporary qualifications around as a token of anything at all is a very unwise ploy.0 -
Someone told me voting should only be applicable to those than can be called up for jury service ie 18-74 years olds.
If you removed the votes from over 75s, the result would been remain0 -

You want to be careful taking too much notice of people like that.
One person, one vote, has a beautiful simplicity and equality to it. Anyone who seeks to suggest changing it simply because they dislike one isolated result is, well, you know...0
