It's only my personal position that works for me and everyone else will do what works for them but it's time for attacks between the different sides to stop and for everyone to contribute towards the future.

I agree. Yes I am the same with my vote too. I, like you, voted on experience. I watched the EU grow from a trading bloc into a political union and heading towards a United States of Europe and did not want any part of it. I warned voters in 1975 this would be the eventual outcome of the EU and was laughed at. Sure we're experiencing a little strain on the economy but we knew this was going to happen. He'll sort it out with QE so there really isn't nothing to worry about. The Markets have steadied and the £ will too. However, if the BoE are not careful they could trigger the predicted recession.
As to our youngsters, well yes, we shouldn't berate them for their votes either whatever their reasons but they really need to be educated as to what has happened to the EU since we joined, something you seem to be doing very well. I'm sure if they search the net they'll find something along those lines.
