I can imagine the conversation. Clegg - listen Barnier, I lied for you a lot. 3 million jobs would go if we leave, no European army ever. My gravy boat is empty and I am a laughing stock in the UK. I need a job.

Yes perfect material for an EU commissionaire......

It's official. The more well educated the voter the more pro Remain they are.

Not only that:

Mr Pellner also pointed out there was an educational divide in June's general election.

He said: “People who were for Brexit tended to move to the Conservatives. People who were remain tended to move towards Labour. So because of this educational connection it means there was quite a big swing to Labour amongst graduates. And quite a big swing to the Conservatives amongst people who left school at 15 or 16.

Well that's lovely. I'm really looking forward to all these people who left school at 15 making a stunning success of Brexit and driving the UK to reach its full potential.

Ugh! Those ghastly Brexit-voting proles! Pass the Amarone, Tristram.

What you mean all those would go to university now and get a useless degree.

Germans take that sort of thing pretty seriously, so expect huge delays on anything exported to Germany. Could result in a reduction of exports as UK origins will be at the back if the queue.

I honestly doubt we'll be better prepared since our customs load will increase much more than Germany's.

It could be an age thing too; leaving school at 15 was quite common for someone over 70. The may be no less smart than uni grads but are likely to have interacted with less of the world.

How do you work that one out?

Don't you just love how this present bunch of Labour members sneer at what in the past would have been their base.

Lefties just aren't what they use to be.

( That's probably because they used to vote LibDem)

What part?

Staying in school until 16 only became compulsory in 1972 - so anyone over 60 now didn't need to stay in school to 16, whilst being considered since 1964 (so anyone under 68 was encouraged to stay in school longer).

Back then, there was still a likelyhood of getting a lifetime job locally with minimal additional training, where they were likely to stay for life. So less mobility, no gap years, working abroad, exposure to other cultures etc.

So no less smart, but likely less formal education or exposure to other cultures.

You said interacting with less of world, how do you reach that conclusion.
