Now they need to find some way of proving that they made the right decision.

Calm down mate change doesn't happen over night.

Just wait for Article 50 to hit the news again.

The Leave campaign made three key promises.

Two of them were directly related to immigration.

and fortunately none of these promises is ever going to happen, £350m (or whatever number is accurate) is not going to the NHS, or in fact to any public service as it will continue to be paid to the EU, immigration and free movement numbers will not change, and Turkey has about as much chance of joining the EU as a leave voter has of liking them there foreign-types.

In the year 2274, the remnants of human civilization live in a sealed city contained beneath a cluster of geodesic domes, a utopia run by a computer that takes care of all aspects of their life, including reproduction. The citizens live a hedonistic life but, to maintain the city, everyone must undergo the ritual of "Carrousel" when they reach the age of 30 There, they are vaporized and ostensibly "renewed."

Well sterling plummeted and stayed there. It's lower than at anytime in my 30 odd year working life - that's not getting over it.

The markets are up because the bonkoids choice we've made means they expect a load of money to be thrown at them.

Older voters have always turned out in higher numbers than younger ones. The older voters now also massively outnumber younger voters.

Depends on what you call younger voters? From 2011 Census for E&W there are roughly as many 18-29 year olds as 65+

But you are rather missing the point, unsurprisingly. Older people have voted for a future for young people that the young people do not want, that is not in their interests, and the older people will not live to see. Largely, as far as I can see, due to an anger about immigration that isn't shared by many people outside of their own age group.

People voted for a Conservative government at the last General Election, but I don't have the right to be angry, especially at their lies like "vote labour get SNP" as we live in a democracy and the electorate chose that government. I don't believe the poster missed the point, but rather hit it on the head. Young remainers are blaming the older generation, but feel its irrelevant their own generation didn't vote in sufficient numbers. Though that assumes those that didn't vote would have voted for remain (or 75% of them would have)

You've raised a valid point here. I don't know why people assume non-voters would vote in a similar manner to the rest of their demographic. A good many of those that don't vote think it makes no difference to their lives either way.

I'd vote for a scantily clad Jenny Agutter everytime.

You're using facts and logic.
