Re: What in your opinion has the Brexit vote improved?
That's exactly the type of hatred and petty spite that was behind many a Brexit vote.Nasty old people who are jealous of the young and trying to destroy their future because they're too old to be part of it and they can't bear the thought the young will outlive them.

What's stopping you? Isn't Portugal still part of Europe?

There seems to only be one "nasty old person" on this thread.

For clarification, and as I have said before, I voted for Brexit for the long-term future of this country - and I'm sure that must include our young people.
At the same time, I did so in the knowledge that things might be hard for us older people, at least at the beginning, so never let it be said that I was being selfish at the expense of young snowflakes.

Europe was a far more interesting place pre-EU.. Every country had a culture and an identity that was unique.
That is disappearing at an exponential rate.
Another unfortunate consequence of EU membership.
