So, statistically, if we had waited about 2 years and everything had played out the same in 2018, then enough decent ordinary people would have died and remain would have won? Damn

But you get more right wing with age, so an equal proportion of normal people would have made the transition to swivel-eyed loon.

A decent cold snap last winter could have swung it.

I think I'm finding the opposite. I'm getting more left-wing with age.

One day you will die, of old age if you are very lucky. Long before then you will watch many of your friends die and maybe your parents if they haven't gone already. Maybe brothers sisters, aunts and uncles. They are old though and so they had it coming. If only Hitler had gotten his way. He wanted to kill the old and disabled for that matter for being of no use. The physical disabled proportionately voted to leave too. Those fuckers.. Right? If they were already dead we would of stayed. Damn.

What. The. Fuck?

"Suck your Gran through a caprisun straw." Awesome.

Hitler? The disabled?
What the fuck are you on about?
My point isn't that they don't even have to live with the consequences of their decision. Over 65's have, roughly on average, 11 years to live with it.
The under 25's have over on average, 60 years to deal with the consequences.

I visited my 92 year old neighbour yesterday, he's still as bright as a button despite being wheelchair bound and very frail. He was totally made up with the leave vote and compared it living through the blitz and VE Day in terms of historic context. I didn't want to argue against him, we are his Colombian adopted family, if we leave the UK, he will be one person I'll miss. I just wished he saw it from the grand children's point of view, who visit him every week. One of the dad's is from Spain :(

The problem is that old people look back with fondness, despite the horrors of being at war with half of Europe, or the decades of austerity and rebuilding, because they were young at the time. Unfortunately leaving the EU isn't going to make them young again.

EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

Welsh mountain biking has/is almost entirely EU funded. I'd probably be rolling and mewling Novas and Fiestas around if it wasn't for the trail centre's which kept me occupied all those 10 or so years ago. This referendum is the first time I've been let down by my fatherland.
