I could not stand another campaign like the last one.
They are saying that us old folk have made the decisions for the younger generation.....many of whom did not get off their butt cheeks to go and vote.
Maybe we have done them a favour. We have to wait and see. There are still a lot of myths guesses and doomery out there.....none of it helpful.

Close! Don't those guys know how to count? Close my ass. This is close: Quebec Referendum, October 30, 1995: Percentage wanting to leave Canada, 49.42. Wanting to remain, 50.58. Now that's close. And, by the way, voter turn out: 93.52%. And this "age" thingy ... a complete crock of horse manure. Seventeen million voted "out" ... picture it, 17,000,000 ill-educated old farts, pushing their walkers to the polls in order to frustrate the aspirations of the young
And that "ill-educated" thing ... I read that in some clown's blog. Maybe it means that they don't have a degree
Degrees seem to be a compulsory these days ... most of them are useless: Gender Studies, MBW (Masters in Basket Weaving), etc. You can even go to the US and acquire a degree in Hamburgerology at Rotten Ronnie U.
And our education was fine. We left school literate and able to count to twenty without removing our socks. All those who voted, the sober ones anyway, voted for what they believed was the right choice ... 17+ million of them voted "out". British voters, in a fair and democratic vote decided to leave. And the French and the Germans? None of their goddam business. Looks like they should be taking care of their own countries. What happens in Britain is for the Brits to decide. Simple.
