Recently overheard some 12 year old school kids using ‘you’re a big Brexiteer’ as a casual insult to each other.
Chaps, I don’t think history and future generations are going to judge Brexit very kindly.
Adam I think most posters on here will not pay too much attention to a comment by kids made on a subject which like it or not no one knows the correct answer to. An unprecedented event with no history to form a judgement on .
By the time they get to voting age they will maybe have some evidence to judge if their comment was appropiate or not .
Predictions a tricky business! eg for 70 years I have regulary supported the Pilgrims , on Patter Predictions like most others I fail to predict the correct score , which is a far easier subject for us to predict than Brexit .
Predictions by my MP Matt Warman , Geo and Dave assurred me two years ago that a LEAVE vote would overnight leave us with many becoming unemployed , homes repossessed and derelict industrial estates .
On an increasing scale since then my mate Matt keeps reminding us that locally job numbers are increasing , house building is booming and we have some booming businesses .
How's it look from where you are Adam ?
And lets not forget on the other flank we had IDS (remember him ? the minister who claimed he could live in his £2k mansion on £50 (fifty)a week ) advocating leave to create monies for the NHS and the vulnerable . Ironic that millions of the vulnerable are/or soon will be having to take payday loans which they will never be able to repay , and only eat courtesy of the food banks . This the outcome of the "improved" benifit system (UC) introduced by IDS , which has cost the taxpayer £billions .
My hope Adam is that these kids along with others when becoming adults may well be better judges of the integrity of politicions than todays generation of voters are .are.
