My parents are both over 70 and are proud old school socialists. My Father hated Thatcher and everything she stood for and her successors have been all gong and no dinner. He coined the phrase "Not Labour" to Tony's "New Labour" mutterings and will never forgive the man for acting as a lap dog to George Bush's America.
Last week, someone foolishly assumed that he was in the leave camp so he saw fit to tear them off a strip. There are some "Vote Leave" clowns along their road, but Essex seems to be one of the heartlands of leave.
I'm really rather worried about the whole situation.

My 70-something year old parents are wonderful people and therefore staunchly remain. Their best friends are also remain, and have tweeted that people over 40 shouldn't even get a say in this. Some other friends of theirs (who my folks expected to be berexit) apparently spoke to their daughter about it and are voting remain because it's what she's doing. They've even been promoting that on Facebook.
Full marks to oldy lefty Bradfordy types. Young people and London can't take all the credit if we stay in.
