Re: Brexit: The Generation Divide

Have you any idea how many youngsters are scared to say they voted leave ? They have been educated by schools using pro eu propaganda for years.

Re: Brexit: The Generation Divide

When you realise that the human being is simply an empty vessel into which you can pour any amount and type of information, then you begin to see how dangerous that situation can be and how important education is.

What we have currently is NOT education, we have INDOCTRINATION.
We are programming kids to accept a life of slavery, to be dependent on the state, to accept massive debt and to think that life is about climbing a work ladder where status and salary and money are the measures to live by.

It's a total lie and travesty but we have to face the fact that the powers that be, who have run rough-shod over our laws and regulations, have grabbed our education system and ruined it.

The younger generation is at odds with the older generation because they haven't been told the truth. They are at the time in their lives when they are most vulnerable to influence. If Adele or Lady Gaga said it was cool to go beat up pensioners, these kids would go out there and do it.

I have sympathy because as a kid, I too was indoctrinated. Only over many years, with hard EXPERIENCE do you learn to break out of that conditioning.
A lot of older people voted to Leave because they understand the TRUTH of what the EU means and what it has done and is doing to this country.

The youngsters don't yet realise that truth. They are voting on the basis of their own lives and for the ability to work abroad.

They don't know what the Lisbon Treaty is, they don't appreciate the implication of the 100,000 EU regulations that have been enforced which supercede UK laws.

They don't give a jot about the loss of our fishing industries.

They don't understand the game at all. And yet ironically, they are the very people who would have been totally oppressed and enslaved by the future totalitarian state that we were being taken into. A state where we would have no choices, no say and where we would be thrown in prison for even challenging the status quo.

I value our youngsters, their hopes and dreams but they have been badly indoctrinated and do not understand the situation one iota.

I hate threads that are started with just a link, just idleness not to state your point of view as well.

Re: Brexit: The Generation Divide

Said on the news this morning 37% of 18-25 year olds voted

Re: Brexit: The Generation Divide

Not that keen to express their opinions officially then.

Re: Brexit: The Generation Divide

Maybe if more of them had turned out to vote the result might have been different .

Re: Brexit: The Generation Divide

Exactly no one to blame but themselves if they couldn't be bothered.

Re: Brexit: The Generation Divide

Azz that video a terrible cliched example of what some people think the differences are

It has absolutely nothing to do with the referendum voting divide that applies to many of us (who also voted out in 1975 when apparently more people left the country than arrived )

I find it so sad that some people keep focusing on the immigration angle which can only serve to make any divide worse.

Re: Brexit: The Generation Divide

What is making me slightly bemused at the moment is number of young saying this will stop them going to work in Europe, if the numbers saying that went we would have seen Europe over run by British teens looking for work most of them have never even thought of going before this vote.
