[SEPH]: A rather vague set of words from you. Generally, the younger folk are less wise; everybody knows this - even you who just wishes to be contrary.
Not all older people are "less altruistic", aka "more selfish", and I know many of my age group that are angry/passionate about matters affecting this country; perhaps you are conditioned/influenced by those you mix/socialise with. [SEPH]: I could have used a better word than altruistic. But the last part of your sentence is gratuitous.

That's ridiculous.
Vote Leave won. The half truths of the Leave campaign were easily offset by the Project Fear noise of the Remain campaign. Leave voters obviously took Project Fear into account.
Remainers want to usurp democracy to overturn democracy. Plus why on earth Remainers want to continue living in the realms of Juncker, Merkel and Macron (who has threatened us with perpetual Backstop if we don't surrender our fishing waters to France) is beyond me and most reasonable people. You seem to want to acquiesce to that threat and remain in the EU.
Jeez.

Another ridiculous remark attacking a poster who has explained the precautions he has taken.

A startling admission.

You know full well that your assertion is valueless. Pip was saying that he's waited 43 years to vote Leave again, and that others are like minded.
Stop playing around just to attack a Leaver's sincere remarks.
