The fact they think that returning to this is in some way a good thing is disappointing to say the least. But then, they wont have to put up with it for very long.
You should do some Googling, we had the 3 day week AFTER we signed up to the EU.
It was before we held the referendum, sure, but after we were fully paid-up members of it.0 -

What IS Boris thinking..Boris Johnson says the UK will continue to "intensify" cooperation with the EU following its vote to leave the EU.The leading pro-Leave campaigner said exit supporters must accept the 52-48 result was "not entirely overwhelming".It all seems so stupid it makes me want to give up.
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid ?0 -
Lets not forget that the older generation remember how great we were before the whole EU fiasco.
They are the ones that have lived the majority of their lives being European. They have seen both sides.
If the young are so clued up in politics why don't we see a 20 something prime minister?
The young have never known life outside the EU so cannot comprehend what they have missed out on.
I remember what life was like before we joined the EU. We were not great then, except in our imagination, and had not been great for decades before then. We had high unemployment, high inflation, poor housing, strikes galore.
But people cared about their neighbours and their elders, people took a pride in their community and people were far less selfish. It is this selfishness that has motivated so many of the older generation to shaft the younger generation. They do not need to know what life was like 40 years ago, Only that what they have in an EU world is something they want to keep.Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.0 -

The points based immigration system could well see more migration into the UK. The Australians have a points based system and their population is growing at roughly twice the rate.
His many people who put the x on leave thought they may be putting an x onto more migration and population growth?0
