I still have my life ahead of me even though i'm 56!, it's about everyone.

 

Ill-informed, jingoistic nonsense. We had our country before. It was still there the last time I looked. What you've actually got is the poor, underfunded communities of the UK (who generally voted leave, which proves how utterly ****ed-up this all is) becoming even poorer and less funded. You've got very right-wing Tory governments for a long time to come. You've got the likely collapse of the NHS and absolutely no change to GP waiting times or school class sizes. You've got unbroken immigration issues - those hundreds of migrants from outside the EU risking life & limb to get here won't suddenly give up because we've chosen to leave the EU. You've got the collapse of the UK economy, a devalued pound and billions wiped off share prices, and obviously, the resulting shitstorm that will create for jobs, UK industry and the cost of living.

But hey, you've got your country back, so well done you!!

 

Prince Charles better watch out - Nigel will be expecting succession now.

 

All this ^^

What does 'I've got my own country back even mean?' And why do people still have this weird attachment and sense of entitlement to a place just because they happened to be born there? It is something that no-one can determine for themselves, it's completely pot luck and yet people seem to think that everyone else is a second class person because their mum didn't give birth on that piece of land and gave birth on that one over there instead.

 

Err! £1 is trading at 1.24 (obviosuly torist rates are a bit lower but where are you seeing that.

 

Aye in fairness I have a sty in my eye and read it wrong.

Quite literally One-eyed!!!

 

With age comes experience and wisdom. The assumption is that it was a bad thing. let us wait and see. The EU in its current from would not have lasted for the lifetime of 18-24 year olds anyway. It is up to us what we make of it

 

Why? Show me some evidence of this new, golden age for Britain.

 

If any consolation it has been down as low as 1.04 (several years ago when I owed our Italian builder 50k) (when we bought the ruin here it was 1.49) so I ended up having to do quite a lot of the restoration work myself.

 

Actually you could look at it another way. in the short medium term it will be tough (even the most optimistic outer should have known that). In the long term I still believe it will have been the right decision. So if it does turn out to be so then we oldies havd scrificed our few remaining years for the benefit of our children. Your argument is only valid if your premise that we are fu*ked short medium AND long term is true. nether of us know that for a fact because we cannot see into the future.

 

Have to agree to disagree with you on all this Jamdrop

 

Feeling's mutual Tekky.

Thanks for sacrificing your few remaining years in Italy for us all by the way!

 

I'm knocking on a bit, hoping for another 12 years if I live as long as my dad, and I voted on the basis that whatever happens won't really affect me much or for long, so I voted for what I thought best for my kids and grandkids. My vote was also affected by what my dad and granddad, who were involved in the last two pan-European fallouts would think.
I voted remain and I'm worried.

 

No matter how much you paddy on here nothing is going to change

So live with it

You might not like the decision but results state we voted leave

I didn't. 48% of us didn't. Not sure 'we' is appropriate.

 

I find that people like to throw around the 17 million figure to add weight to their argument (sometimes writing it like this 17,000,000 for added effect) but don't seem to realise that 16 million (16,000,000) people feel otherwise.

 

Another grown-up, informed contribution. Bravo.
