A few may have, but judging all Stay voters by these idiots is like classifying all Brexiteers by the EDL/NF supporters who also wanted to leave...
And this makes us stupid? I actually went back to college in my mid 30s to get higher education as did a lot of us. Sure I left school with nothing but in my 30 achieved 5 O levels and 2 Higher (Scotland) Levels.

Take it how you want. I still got a vote and I voted out.

We could talk about all these EU GOVs and even our own who are much better educated than me but then where has that got us.

Sometimes common sense out weighs education don't you think
And don't you think the reason the older generation voted leave is because we had enough after 43 years? There is no substitute for experience.

David Lammy says ignore result, I won't change the habit of a lifetime and agree with him and it's not a good idea imo but I wouldn't be against a second referendum, most certainly given what I'm currently hearing, which are a bunch of reasons to leave not actually ascociated with the EU!

What about the two stupid reasons for remain that kept coming up? Roaming charges and holidays is a hell of a silly reason to base a remain vote on. What's best for the UK was mine and most leavers reason.
