OT: What a pillock

[jacobncfc]

I’m genuinely interested in Leave voters’ thoughts on this, because I’ve not really seen it discussed anywhere or brought up by anyone. Do simple demographics not mean that we’re going to be back in within a few years anyway, just without any opt outs or special treatment that we got before?

I don’t really see what’s going to happen to turn around the 75% majority that are pro-EU amongst people turning voting age.

That’s why I think ‘my side’ are making a tactical mistake fighting for a second referendum now. They should be pushing to have one agreed for four and five years when the reality is clear and demographics are clearly on our side.

It’s also why the ‘voting against the wishes of young people’ thing isn’t just about ‘stealing out futures’, either. I’m genuinely quite pragmatic, and I think it’s pretty much idiotic to make a major constitutional change against the wishes of a huge majority of the generations who are going to be able to overturn it in a few years anyway.

Yes, the demographics added to the basic economic and geographic realities means that the UK will most probably be an EU member in say, 2028. But those 'tactics' are more Nolan than Guardiola. Never underestimate the power of the propaganda machine here, which will paint being the 51st state of America as the only viable option, despite whatever
destruction it wreaks on our working lives, NHS, environment, social cohesion etc...

The demographics have changed already and now is the time to challenge a Russian-won, illegally funded vote based on a pack of lies peddled by Sun, Mail et al representing dark forces that have very different wishes for our children than we do.

The time to challenge this big giant con trick is in the next six months before Murdoch, de Pfeffel Rees-Mogg etc get their way and ruin this country forever.
