Of course. They're lapping it up until we have a major problem caused by it and then it'll be a ghost town.
this... the FTSE fell some more, GBPUSD too... half the country is still butthurt over things not going their way and lots of people are a bit worried as half the press told us this would be the end of the world
we'll have some short term uncertainty while things get thrashed out then crack on as usual
depending how negotiations pan out re: free movement we might well see a short term increase from EU citizens as we'll almost certainly be giving residency to people from the EU already living here
As much as i disagree with the path that we're heading for, unfortunately i do feel let down by my fellow young voters who couldn't be bothered to go and vote.
Frankly they should make non-voting an illegal matter.
The problem with the young people is that most of them, honestly, don't give a **** about any of this or think it's someone elses' problem. I remember at university hardly anyone bothered to go out and vote and we was supposed to be the 'intellectual' ones of our generation.

And none of this matters to those who had no job, no money and no hope to start with.
Your statement kind of sums up the average IN supporter who's narrow minded view of society has suddenly been challenged by reality.
Exactly, I'd be more concerned about the social unrest if remain had won on the same margin as its effectively England vs London.
At least we can now address those concerns rather than letting them boil over in the years to come.
Things have already started to calm down (yesterday's question time is worth watching) and the media will start to be more moderate rather than all this doom and gloom.

And they will have no job, no money and no hope going forward and if they think they will, sadly they are deluding themselves.
It's interesting that you should label those who voted for stability as narrow minded. Perhaps we should also be labeling those who would see a jovial buffoon and a xenophobic ideology as the way forward to improving their own circumstances. Perhaps the unemployable often have misguided preconceptions that it's everyone else's fault except their own.
Oh well, at least those foreigners won't be around for much longer to steal their much coveted employment prospects
They should just make it a default vote even in GE. You don't vote, your vote automatically goes to current leading party. In case of coalition it would get divided.
If you really don't want to vote for anyone then you'd need to turn up to say so.

Do you make your tin-foil hats out of supermarket aluminium foil or industrial grade?

And start shouting "Where's my benefits!" and "**** off!" to all and sundry.
Oh wait, they do that already.

He's right any group that tries to dtart racist movements etc is going to get locked up wuickly. Becauee there is cctv everywhere
Now WE can decide that all this emission malarkey ourselves then nothing stopping us.
What we need is a petition
I'm young(ish) and I voted leave.
Also wasn't the turn out for 18-24 year old something like 37%?
Think it has more to do with the youth not bothering with their future than the oldies ruining the youths future...
It's probably a good idea to remove the voting rights from the under 25's if they can't be bothered to turn out.
