Brexit

[WBA123]

“Indoctrinated” 😆😆😆😆😆

Oh the irony of that word coming via yourself, I almost spat my tea out laughing.

Your the biggest political zealot on this platform.

You disappear for weeks on end, which is a massive bonus because we have no political angst on here and when you do return it’s always political.......like I said, you’re a London Leftie Zealot 123.......You just can’t admit it.

Your comment about the war being “80 years ago” reeks of indifference and ignorance.

Most of you in your 30’s have not had the benefit of parents and very possibly grandparents who gave service or lived through the war.

A lot of us on here did.

My one grandad lied about his age at 16 to go and fight in WW1.

My other granddad was ten years younger and swam for his life at Dunkirk in WW2.

My dad had to move up to Durham to be safe from the bombings and spent his 4-10 years of age away from his home.

Your lack of understanding of the way those of us in the 50 - 70 age group respect and hold onto what our parents and grandparents fought for does you no credit.

I hope you’re blonde haired and have blue eyes because if it wasn’t for our elders it’s very likely you wouldn’t exist.

I do stay away from here for prolonged periods, not because of the football chat, but because of the political drivel that you are typically all over.

However, you are obviously proud of your family's military and war history, and justifiably so. They made huge sacrifices for us.

My point is, the war and Brexit are two completely separate things. The fact they are mentioned in the same breath is why the Leave campaign was so effective.

Also, a good chunk of people in their 30's would have had grandparents involved in the war. I am one of them. My one Grandad served but my other Grandad was too young, he lost two older brothers in the war. He grieved for his brothers until his dying day. Had he been alive for the Brexit referendum, he would have been ashamed at how the Leave campaign weaponised the war.

Which is something else I can't get my head around, you seem to think you know exactly what 'they fought for'. My understanding from my Grandparents was that they fought for future generations peace and prosperity. We had over 45 years of peace in Europe since we joined the EU. And its hard for me to fathom how leaving the EU will make us more prosperous.

So I think you misunderstand my respect to that generation, who were brave and selfless.

But it is fair to say I don't hold much respect for the 50-70 age group, who the majority have been nothing but selfish in pursuing a Brexit which will make the next generation poorer.

This deal has emphatically answered the question is the UK trade ***** to the EU. Politically the EU have detested having to 'let us in' to their markets but economically they realised it was essential to their economies and unusually where this lot is concerned common sense has prevailed.

Sorry you don't have much respect for the 50-70. Must be an awful way to lead your life. Personally I don't consider whether someone voted In or Out much of a factor in how much respect I have for them.
