My experience prior to leaving the UK was that all the over 65's were patting themselves on the back and all the under 25's were moaning that pensioners had ruined their lives!


Only time will tell, nobody has a clue whether it will be good or bad

Ther under 25s should have taken it more seriously when they had the opportunity to is my take on that. Lowest turnout by age group, blaming everyone else as usual.

Oh yes. A lot of blaming from that group going on.

If the under 25 truly, really cared for a European future, they should have gotten off their PS4 and Xboxes and gotten out to vote.

This generation worldwide excels and thrives on a misguided sense of self entitlement and thinks the whole world owes them a living.

So sayeth the bitter old fart (i.e. moi) who's way over the hill...

I think if the older generation are to blame for anything in all this it's for attempting to cure the younger generation of their entitled ingratitude by making them earn their own freedoms and privileges. Could probably argue that this is bloody minded, but this is one arsehole of a generation coming up haha.

Totally agree. If the u25's had bothered to vote we would probably still be in the EU. But they didn't vote and that's the end of it!

Vote is a vote. The leavers were declared winners. What if's, speculation and after thought polls by the BBC mean nothing.

Moving on.

On the bright many of the decisions can be made locally, without the power hungry EU at the helm.
