What a childish statement. Don't you think older people nay have wisdom through experience? Why on Earth has it screwed people under 35. Name any way. It's the people in their last 10 years of working life that will be most affected if there is any short-term economic hit or affect on stock markets. For young people they have all to play for to make their way in the globalised world. They are the ones with most to gain and must make it happen.

As to EU, Tories, Labour to blame for no positive growth on Moses living standards over last 10 years, they are not to blame. It is all due to the rise of China and Far Eastern economies. That's why it's better out to try to get away from protectionism and get out their with rolled up sleeves. I have every faith that our younger generations will take advantage of the golden opportunity they have been gifted by the wisdom of their elders.

What we need now is a charismatic, unifying, tough negotiating PM to get us through the exit process and galvanise the population behind a vision of the future. Quite where we'll get that from giving the abject characters who invest our major parties I don't know. Therein lies an issue. Let's hope that comets the hour comets the man/ woman - which has happened before at key moments in our history. Let's be positive. Thus is an historic moment and should be celebrated as such.

Celebrate, a bunch of old timers with prejudice at their core?

I'll leave ths thread here, because it's the usual subjects spouting anti Conservative rubbish wirh no basis in fact, only 34% of the population even voted, because most of us know , neither side have provided many facts. Luckily for most leave voters they will not be around to suffer the repercussions, I just hope their kids can forgive them.

As Robinson has posted, this has become a parody of itself.

Growing up in an undemocratic EU, how is that screwing young people, eventually you'll be standing outside their graves thanking them.

Only 6% of our business is with the EU too

That's because it's quite difficult to provide facts of things that haven't happened yet

Have you analysed the demographic of the remain voter? The majority "during the waaaar" Uncle Albert types that have screwed everyone in the UK under 35, xenophobic racists voting purely on a an anti johnny foreigner bias.

A sad day

This is the kind of sneering, arrogant attitude that people turned out in droves to vote against.

IIRC roughly 35% of the population over 18 voted for Brexit, I assume that's what he means.

The challenge for the victors now is that they drew on support from opposite ends of the political spectrum. Groups that have been politically marginalised, who shared an antipathy to the EU and centrist metropolitan political views, but will be divided about what this new dawn should look like.

Millions voted for protectionism, believing that migrant labour was depressing their pay, undermining their protections and limiting their opportunities. While on the other hand, there are those who want scrap the Brussels regulations to ensure we have a more 'flexible' labour market, in which it is easier to hire (and the unspoken but obvious extension, fire) workers.

Good luck riding those two horses Boris!

The BREXIT camp never hid away from the fact that if they won, that there would be the initial crash.

Or at least i was certainly aware of it before it happened.

It'll have a negative economic impact, but I don't think it'll be that bad.

There are things that I would pay an economic price for. This particular issue of sovereignty, wasn't one - but it clearly was for a lot of people.

There are also some sacrifices I'd make just as a kind of dirty protest. Again this wasn't one, but it was the one on offer and a lot of people don't have very much of a stake in the economy.

For many (not all!) it was a chance to express anger. And that anger is often justified, though widely misdirected. IMO.
