I've just been reading an article where companies are closing down their UK based operations that deal with the EU and setting up offices in the Netherlands instead and that the advise to do so has come directly from the Dept For Trade.

That's jobs and livelihoods going.

And after a while you realise its not efficient to have two bases so close down the UK end and move wholesale.

The vast majority of people under 45 voted remain in the first place. Its hardly the preserve of the "enlightened next generation". Just people that work, run businesses and pay tax. 

Innteresting the only thing you have to say is warmed up campaign speak.

21 days in and all you've got in your armoury is some imagined electoral battle against Nick Clegg all over again.

It is actually quite interesting how perceptions are shaped. The vast majority of under 25's voted to remain but only a small majority of the 25-49 year old segment voted to remain.

The split for those 25-34 was 62-38 remain. Those 34 year old young whippersnappers.

So yeah, interesting how "perceptions are shaped", indeed.

Not according to yougov...

Turnout by age group in the graph below shows that about 42% of those under 35 voted to remain (62% of approx 68% turnout) - that's not an overwhelming majority....

Someone's been on Google. Funny really, I thought spaffing on about "well if you count the whole population then the majority didn't vote for Brexit at all"  was the preserve of sopping wet bad-loser remoaners? Very odd to see it employed here.

Vote's over mate.

You've won. 22 days in we get on with serious task of telling any haulage, fish, exporter or any other business impacted by the political decisions made that firms have been going bust for millennia and they just need to suck it the fuck up. That's right isn't it?

Simply put, if you were young or educated you voted Remain.

If you were old or uneducated you voted Leave.

I think you are wrong there, most old fuckers nowadays had their views on Europe shaped by the war, that won’t be the same for younger generations. Plus the world is getting ‘woker’ by the day, dinosaur opinions like yours will be long gone soon.

Lol. What a load of pony.

Luckily, we have two referenda to refer to. One 30 odd years after the war and one 70 odd years after the war. I guess your argument is that the further we get from the war, the more our views are shaped by it, and that only the 30% of under 30’s that voted to leave in ‘75 survived, to vote us out in ‘16. Here’s a thought. Maybe a hell of a lot of the youngsters of ‘75 (the old fuckers today) voted to remain in ‘75 and leave in ‘16. Having seen us both out and in of the EU/EEC/Common market. These uneducated ignorant golf club bores were uniquely positioned to make an informed decision. You never know, when the next vote comes around, you’ll vote to stay out....

Todays Wokie is tomorrow’s Tory, if that wasnt the case the Torrow party would have ceased to exist a generation ago.

As the world gets More woke. I read (from Andrew Neil) that no Labour leader born in the last 100 years (bar the hated Blair) has ever won a general election.

Again, bar the hated Blair, Labour have ever only won a working majority twice, and the last time was decades ago.

I guess that means the Tory’s are finished!!!

It's nothing to do with your red v blue bollocks, fact is the world my daughter is growing up in is massively more woke than my upbringing during the 1980s, and her children's will be more still.

At my school during the dark days of Thatcher, racism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia were all accepted and normal. You don't have to go back too far and we were putting war heroes behind bars for being gay. I expect even your beloved Tory party is way more woke now than back in the 70's.

That’s right.

I guess the Remoaners on here are so wedded to their ideology that it’s inconceivable to them that lived experiences change peoples politics. That young socialists become old Tories. In their world a young  remainer will always vote for The EU, that they’re “education” will ensure that they always vote the “right” way. It seems quite beyond them that uneducated people can have more intelligence than people with higher educational attainment (unless it’s tories of course, they’ve no problem with understanding the concept of the upper class Tory educated twit). My father in law left school at 14 with fuck all in terms of pieces of paper showing his intelligence. He ended up owning  restaurants & night clubs and was one of the smartest blokes I ever met. He died a millionaire, having owned a house overlooking Poole harbour. He voted leave, so clearly wasn’t as intelligent or knowledgable on the subject of EU membership as a 23 year old just out of a Poly with a degree in Film Studies.

A mate of my told me he voted for Brexit as he wanted to get our sovereignty back.

He is now upset that the SNP's desire want to leave the UK has been fired up by the decision to leave the EU and  may well be followed by N Ireland and [possibly Wales.

I am sure that Boris and his cohorts will be against the breakup of the UK but it is no good just saying 'No'.

Why would leaving The EU affect Welsh independence, Wales also voted to leave.
 

There is an argument for the Micks & Sweaties to be had. Inside the UK and out of EU or out of uk in EU. In relation to the Micks, I’ve always believed Ireland is one country, and good riddance to The Sweaties.
 

Not that it will happen, arguing for independence between two EU states is easier to make than wanting to join the EU when RUK is out of it. Boris should let Krankie crack on with explaining what it means in terms of  The Euro, Schengen, and border controls to the  voters. Personally, I reckon a lot of Sweaties use the SNP as a vehicle to get more money and influence from the pinko English establishment. I don’t believe they’ll have the balls to go it alone, but Boris should give her a vote and I hope I’ll be proved wrong.

I think that is rather simplified. The older you are the less likely you are to have been to have studied for A levels or gone to University so if more older people voted leave than that exaggerates the variance between those that went to University and those that did not.

As it happens I think you are probably right but it is not so black and white as you suggest.

Good for them. Rightly they should be doing whatever is best for their business. If that means moving to the EU then fair play.

Some of them may have been better off doing so before we ended the transition period as they wouldn't have needed to meet immigration criteria, but I guess they were seeing if they could have their cake and eat it.

I'm not sure the loss of tax income will be an enormous hit to the economy unless you have some early figures that say differently?
