You could also have mentioned all the collaborators in those countries. I’ve always wondered, what sort of people, if Nazi Germany had been successful in invading our country, would have actually collaborated with them against their own countrymen. And while I respected those on both sides of the argument, up to the result of the referendum. It now seems very obvious, from reading post from the remainers who refuse to accept that democratic vote, Who those people would be. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe it's all over just yet, there are too many variables that might happen, there is talk of a vote of no confidence in her and she has to get her white paper through Parliament and the EU.

But you younger adults are constantly being fed a lot of negatives by the establishment, and as you get older, with wider exposure and more experience, you might form a different view. Especially when you see the UK prosper as an independent nation over the next decade and beyond.

Family of four Brits with 2 young kids waiting in an airport queue, firstly wondering whether their flight will be able to cross EU air-space - as it hasn't been negotiated - and enter Gibraltar, via Spain, and an immigration officer tells them to go and join the non-EU queue at both departures and arrivals which is a throng of similar family tourists, probably a 3 hour clearance, delay if lucky each time. As opposed to now when same family show their Brit/EU passports and are waved through the fast lane at both countries. Well you voted for it... Continual P. Fear.

I am part of the cause of the younger generation bearing the consequences. I admit it Right back in 1975 I was one of the millions of people who voted to join the EEC and believed the government lies back then. This was long before computers were common, there were no mobile phones and the internet as we know it today simply didn't exist. Back then the government put its side up through the newspapers and TV and sadly, back then we believed them simply because there were NO other sources of information available. I waited 40 years for a referendum and when it came along I voted to leave because over the 4 decades between ticking the yes box and the referendum, aided by the availability of the internet I can see how I was lied to back then. If you are not old enough to have voted back then you have no idea what was put up for your belief. You sound as though you come from a couple of generations after mine and you were brought up to believe that the EU is the greatest thing since sliced bread. It really isn't. Your problem is that you have nothing to measure it against. I do, as do most of my generation which is why WE voted to leave because we CAN compare the good to the bad and to the very very ugly. There is NO substitute for hard won experience. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
