There have been so many posts in this thread today I thought it might be good to have a summary.

Could you provide one every day. As the same records are getting played endlessly. Time to move on. Soon just be a year to go.

The Express; :rotfl:As soon as you see that source you know the bottom of the sources barrel has been reached and you scroll on. There are only two criteria that correlate closely with how the UK population voted:

1. Age. The over 55s voted for Brexit by a large majority

2. Education. Those with little or no education voted massively to leave.

Do people think that profile fits most closely with a Guardian reader or an Express reader?;)

Little or no education? We live in a country with compulsory education. You sound as though you are talking about Chad or Niger.

Most people who left education at 15 with no formal qualifications voted for Brexit. What other definition of little to none would you use compared to the fact that must graduates voted to remain?

I know Brexit is supposed to be some kind of peasants revolution, but maybe you should entertain the notion that your allies are just not well enough informed to have an opinion worth listening to.

Cue another Express article surrounded by links about a cat that weighs 8 stone, UFO sightings, and Kim Kardashian's buttocks...

Compulsory education yes, but failing.

Britain 'has the worst schools in Europe'

...literacy levels among young Britons are among the worst in the industrialised world, with one in three lacking the basic skills to cope with everyday life

It's not a coincidence that the country with the lowest literacy levels in the EU is the country that voted to leave it.

..

Plenty of young people have had access to more education material than their elders, but it didn't persuade them to vote.

Truly educated people know the importance of timing and voting. The young let themselves down. Its a shame but everyone knew how the process worked.

The education excuse is drivel.

Most young people have access to the greatest encyclopedia ever known via their phone.

That's what the NE will be like in about 20 years though once all those European funding grants have gone.;)
