Being blamed

Nope!

No.

No, not yet

Living in the past no thought about the younger generation.

No. And I can't count how many times I have raised the two fingers sign to old codgers on tv saying they voted to leave.

I voted with the young ones. Guess I didn't make that clear.

Me too. I know who I'm blaming though!

Oh bight. Apologies. I thought you were one of the "old codgers".

right not bight

Yes. They are going by the percentages. Not all of us voted Leave by a long way.

I haven't been following the fallout.
Are the oldies supposed to have voted Out?

I think a referendum for any sort of change should require a vote of at least 60% in favour of the change.

I agree it should have to be a much clearer majority.

No, guess you know how I voted and so did a surprising number of people I know of my age. But unfortunately around here is a proliferation of retirement homes and care homes and from various conversations I can make a good guess how many of them voted Leave.

No, we voted remain, and our young family members and friends have thanked us for doing so and thinking about the future, not the past. Feels good.

We voted remain, the balance was really fine - would we really be better off out? the thoughts of being able to make our own laws, etc., appealed, but against that the ever possibility of a war, when perhaps we would stand alone again. Spoke to another of our generation who voted out, because he wanted to be independent, "we fought on our own before, we can do it again" Can we? We live with so much uncertainty, we can only hope that the decision to 'out' was the right one for generations to come.

With an age bias as marked as that it will only take another 10 years for the Brexit majority to disappear altogether.

Perhaps our generation should have committed mass suicide on June 22nd. Then the only panic would be getting rid of the bodies !

We'd have been vilified then for causing mass incomvenience to younger generations at such a fraught time.

Sadly many of the give it me now generation have also not grown out of the juvenile 'I hate my parents' phase...They too will grow old

#BlameCameronNotYourGran - because he was completely responsible for this cock-up. And because blaming grandmothers is ageist and sexist. And because the turnout was not high amongst the young - so it's 75% of the ones who cared. Not 75% of those eligible to vote.
And because it's more about education not age - and the young have much more and better education on average than the over 60s did.

Those of us who were young when we voted to remain in the Common Market in 1975 should be thanked for giving the country something to winge about vote on.

Statistics, damn statistics......How is this data compiled? Is it on a telephone or exit poll? Where and when was it done and what was the sample size?
