I think you're misrepresenting the ignorance of young people, they tend to be smarter than their elders (who aren't always that informed either) give them credit for.
Young people are simply inexperienced, which is no reflection on their intelligence. They tend to believe what their teachers tell them, and of course teachers tend to support staying in the EU.

I assure you that when divers younger people, say up to age 33, discuss Brexit with me they bring up in their ignorance the points I mentioned.
They also know nothing about recent history, including John Major's hypocrisy and being Remainers, the prorogation is undemocratic and another 3 years of fruitless debate is democratic.

Jeez.
Come on Seph, when you tell them that at last we have an honest government you can't blame them for taking your next pronouncements - as correct as they may be - with a large pinch of salt.

Andrew, where has this government been dishonest? It's no good going back to the £350 million bus - just in case you wanted to use that kind of argument.

It is a generalisation I agree. There are gullible people old and young on both sides of the debate, that will believe anything they are told, or that is posted on FB, Twitter etc, without researching things for themselves from trusted sources.
For example, the youth are told after Brexit that they won’t be able to travel in Europe, that they won’t be able to work in Europe, that they won’t be able to study in Europe.....all of which is complete tosh, and they believe it.

Maybe also because they have been told the great fib that we're leaving Europe. I had an old fella tell me he voted Remain because he wanted to remain European, I told him, we would still be, as and when we actually leave.

Seph, that particular bus was not done by the Government.
I refer of course to the more recent lies including stating that Project Yellowhammer was produced by Theresa May's administration and was out of date when they knew it was produced in August 2019 for the current regime. I could list many more but I need to go to bed this side of 4am.

So the contents were new and not just a rehash of old scare stories?

It was an updated risk assessment, highlighting the likely scenarios and mitigating actions - so no, not a "rehash of old scare stories"

"Likely" doesn't come into it as it was "worst case" scenario. Was there anything new?
It was not a worst-case scenario.
