The older, wiser people, would have voted for remain had they not have had grounds for dissatisfaction with the EU. The older generation had wisdom on their side (whether leave or remain), the younger generation had idealism. The older folk have not necessarily voted for the future they want; the are not stupid - they know they won't be here at some point. But they do want the younger generation not to have to suffer under the Brussels turds. Finally, and to preserve your credibility as I have asked for this twice before, you should do us all the courtesy of confirming the Churchill quote you made a few posts back. I can't find it and would really be interested to know what you meant. |

Why would older people vote for a worse future for their sons, daughters and grandchildren? Your argument doesn't make sense unless you yourself don't give a fig. In which case, I just hope for the sake of your offspring that your attitude changes with maturity. ---------- Post added at 20:37 ---------- Previous post was at 20:31 ---------- Quote:
Incidentally, I am completely at a loss about the alleged bad grammar and 'making up random c**p'. What the hell are you talking about? Would you care to elaborate so I can give a sensible response to your post? By the way, we are debating issues here, no need to get personal. :sorry: |
Re: Brexit discussion
One of the reasons I wanted to remain was because of my kids. I don’t really talk about it much on here as it is more about feelings and a little self serving but here it is as we are talking about age...
My kids are 10 and 12 and as they get older, I would very much like them to work abroad. Casual work would be fine - strap on a rucksack and get out there and do bar or restaurant work for the summer. I was lucky enough to work abroad when I was 21 and it changed my outlook on life completely. It’s tough moving to another country, it definitely makes you grow up quick! It also gives you a much broader outlook on different nationalities. That opportunity has been taken away from them and that’s a real shame. Yes, I am sure they will still be able to get jobs abroad but no way as easily as they could if we stayed in the EU. See told you it was a bit fluffy and self serving! |

Seriously, I do understand your point, which I think concentrated on the opportunities youngsters have at that age. My decision was based more on the economy, and ensuring that my kids and theirs as they get older are able to share in the wealth that a healthy and vibrant economy can bring. |

If you put the economy in there and then go back to Norman Tebbits ‘get on your bike and find work’ speech, then the distance we can cycle has become significantly less. |

In an earlier post you prayed in aid to your shallow argument a so-called quote from Churchill. I can't find that quote and I've asked several times for you to point me (and everyone else) to the actual words issued by the great man. You're at perfect liberty to ignore the challenge, but if you can't substantiate what you said your credibility is shot. ---------- Post added at 21:40 ---------- Previous post was at 21:32 ---------- Quote:
As I've said before, I'm not going to complain if we stay in the EU provided we keep our picador sticks sharp for prodding the Brussels turds. Also we need to keep sharp about German hegemony, keep in mind the German engineering the Euro to their advantage and French objection to CAP reform. |
