The youth of today are the most selfish,self entitled generation of youth I’ve ever known!

Overly indulged by by parents and under disciplined.

A huge sense of entitlement as well having neither the knowledge or experience to be pontificating the way they do.

Like Greta Thunberg ranting that the previous generations had “stolen the future” from her generation.

Someone needs to teach her and her generation some history because if it wasn’t for my grandparents and your great grandparents she’d either be under Nazi rule or perhaps not even exist!

In my opinion each generation gets worse,my generation doesn’t have the same strength of character as my father’s generation and in turn his parents had even more of a sense of what was right.

We won’t be going back into the EU anytime soon so don’t get too excited.

If we make a success of Brexit the next generation ( who’ll include my 2 and 3 year old grandchildren) will grow up in an independent country and will not want to join the EU club.
Its a shame you are selfishly denying the opportunity to live, work and travel in 27 other countries to your grandchildren. And that they may not have the same trading opportunities with the largest trading bloc in the world that you yourself have enjoyed for your business.

The most selfish and self entitled are the over 50's, who have had it relatively easy in terms of getting on the housing ladder, youth employment in the 70's-90's, ease of borrowing and house price increases in the last 30 years. Youth unemployment has increased in the last 10-15 years and young people really have to scrimp now to get a deposit to buy a house and to be accepted for a mortgage.

Another thing that does my head in with over 50's is the constant harping on about the war, as if it is anything to do with Brexit. It isn't. You might have known people who were in the war, but you did not personally fight in the war unless you're over 95 years of age. I had grandparents that fought in the war, and I'm proud of them and what they stood up for. But they fought for peace and prosperity, not to isolate ourselves and make us poorer.
