    This is a typical definition of racism...

    Racism

    NOUN. Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior.

    I have to say I find that definition slightly soft, compared with the notion of Racism as one of our society's greatest taboos.

    Young people have always been reluctant to join into the political discussions, in all countries, in all eras all the way back to ancient Athens where they had to come up with a plan to pay people for assembly attendance and young people still refused to bother.

    In regards to this particular referendum, knowing what immeasurable damage was caused to their future, had they another chance I am sure they would not only vote but they would also tell their parents that they have the nursing home to look forward to unless they smarten up ;-)

    75% of young who turned out voted Remain.

    Turned over by the boomers as usual.

    a small, but significant alteration

    36% turn out in 18 to 24s

    There are about the same number of people between 18 and 35 as there are people over 55 and let's not forget 40% of those over 55 voted remain.
