    AS I am trying to get a better handle on your politics, thank many for the opinions shared..information..I appreciate it. Thank you.

    But as one poster said here, bottom line and she absolutely correct (Jamief) think for me and most agree..what happens to our children and grandchildren future hopes for success..? I have no grandchildren..but am a great Aunt to 3 very small ones. Wonder what future will hold in store for them. Can not predict future, however my opinion politics will be just as tuff for them as us..More scary for me as well who are going to be their future leaders and advocates. We open the journeys in life for our young, but eventually our paths go, split and they are on their own..

    Exactley Linda,we just want the best for them.I just couldent see anyother way,thats why i voted to leave.The way things look just now though we all wasted our time voting,we dont seem to have been listend too.The first thing may did was sell the fishermen down the river again.The papers were saying today stand up to the eu bullys.Looks like were not going to though.

    Good to see you linda,great your taking an interest in out polotics.Evrything is just a mess just now.The right hand dosent know what the left hand is doing.People voted to leave the EU and from then,no one has been abel to agree on anything.Evry obstical you can think of has been put in place to hinder leaving.

    Can one you really think people voted to leave the EU blithely?People understood that things would be tough,and i doubt any anyone who voted to leave thought for one moment they would be in the money.For myself i voted to leave because i thought we couldent go on as we were.Broken britan,My thinking was , it is going to be tough at first,but we will get there in the end and it will be a better Britan for my kids and grand kids.

    Yes, we all worry for the youngster today.

    The youngsters worry for the youngsters today. That why they are overwhelmingly – 7 to 1 – in favour of rejoining the EU. Jacob Rees Mogg has said that it will be tough at first but in 50 years time we’ll be seeing the benefits. Isn’t that rather a long time for our youngsters to wait, especially if he’s underestimated the time?

    No country is alone. We’re either sharing the benefits of a trading bloc – or we’re not.

    I’ve seen a lot of evidence of the UK not being able to develop any sort of idea what they want out of brexit, but I haven’t seen any evidence of EU bullying. They may dearly love to – why should they do us any favours? but they’ve not rally had any need, have they?

    Sceptical believes most brexiteers wanting to leave the EU are racists belong to the ku klux klan etc and he will probably be PMing you later to find out. He’s form for that sort of thing sadly.

    yer, right.

    Have you had my pm yet, Jamie??

    Other issue I have and not in any form or shape saying all mind you, are the younger generations mind set. Example common sense, ability to be strong, open minded, not easily convinced by those of their peers. Independent thinkers who go out of the box in the mind to find even resolve. Not one sided persuasive techniques I see presently.

    Too quick making choices and not really think of consequences from results of those decisions.

    Bless us all. No matter where we live..

    I’m afraid that’s true of a large number of people who aren’t so young, too, Linda.

    Intelligence doesn’t bare any correlation to age but wisdom does which is acquired through experiences and years of life experience. Using an argument of many young people voting for Brexit compared to an older generation as evidence it is somehow more of a sensible argument is an utterly ridiculous statement from Sceptical. I think every single poster on here will claim to be more sensible/wise than they were 20 years ago for eg but apparently Sceptical is the jc Benjamin Button getting less sensible as he ages with all teenagers the fountain of knowledge.   :wacko:

    and you are soo intelligent, rudeboy, as we’ve seen in your statistics on the UK contribution to the  EU budget.

    If you and your ilk are so widse — why is brexit turning into a disaster?

    Why have the lies of the Leave EU campaign about money being drained out of us by the EU turned into national humiliation?

    That humiliation is just starting.

    There is no historical law which says that Britian will avoid the fate of empires like Spain in the past…once the mightiest empire in the world, declining gradually and then quickly into a stagnant economy, desperately poor.

    If youngsters think that 50 years is a bit too long to wait before things get better – if they get better in relative terms, which is a big if – then they strike me as a lot wiser than people like rudeboy, and the liars and crooks of the Leave campaign, who’ve landed us in a looming national humiliation.

    It’s turning into a disaster because of scare mongering morons like you propagating a climate of fear stopping us leaving the EU and instead giving us this hybrid scenario of a “deal” which ties us to the EU indefinitely leaving us the worst of both worlds. If there was ever any doubt as to the corrupt, egotistical  organisation before these negotiations of the EU, there certainly isn’t now after years of being dictated to by your friends in Brussels with the usual arrogance of the mindless euro drones sitting behind desks.

    The fact that you are using youth as an example of wisdom implying it somehow vindicates a pro EU stance illustrates how facile your brain is adding to your further embarrassment on this board. I’d sooner listen to an older generation personally that may have served in the armed forces, lengthy work history, multiple locational life experience to draw on than Johnny  McSnotty at bangor polytechnic doing a degree on political correctness living with parents discussing why there aren’t enough transgender toilets on campus.
