What is it with you lefties and your obsession with "brown people" ?

We're not obsessed with them. We're just interested in your obsession with them.

So..I'm a b&stard and also a drunk...

You two heathens familiar with he concept of ad hominem?

I didn't say you were "a drunk" I said you were drunk. The two are vsry significantly different concepts. But if you wrote that particular post while you were stone cold sober, I offer my sincere apologies - it just seemed a little ranting, a little rambling, and being posted in the early hours of Saturday morning, I jumped to a conclusion.

But to address the gist of the post, assuming you stand by it - it is a common belief among Remain voters that older people voted Brexit because they don't care about their children and grandchildren and would be quite happy to see them grow up in poverty while the old folks live in luxury. This is not true. I know of very few old people who don't support their children and grandchildren at some cost, slight or significant, to themselves. It's the way the world has always worked. But specifically, the point is that old people voted Brexit because they think that is what is best for the next generation. You can disagree with their conclusions, but let's get away from the idea that they do it because they don't care about the next generation.

As an aside, your reference to "dribbling cabbages" to refer to old people with dementia was unworthy of a sober person.

I'm not going to speak for young people, because i'm not sure i qualify any more, but i'm getting pretty ******* sick of old people ******* the world up and my generation, and those younger, being the ones who have to pay for it. It was the older generations who ****** up the economy 10 years ago which younger generations have had to pay for through austerity while our elders have been protected from those same measures. These older generations have stripped away the socialist policies that allowed them to buy their houses cheaply, and afford their retirements, and if they were stupid and didn't take advantage of it all? Don't worry, because their pensions are ******* triple-locked against any kind of government action. All while i'm being told that the unemployed young are the reason for austerity, and asked by my elders "why haven't you bought a house and had a bunch of kids yet?" as if these ******* haven't stripped away all the advantages that allowed them to do all the things they're criticising me for not doing.

So take your suggestion that the older generations voted for Brexit because they thought it's what's best for future generations and shove it up your arse, because for the last 30 years those ***** have done **** all to suggest they're thinking of anyone other than themselves.

Your last line is the killer, and I'm in my mid-40s.

Why should the young not have the same advantages that I and older people have had?

because the old people have to fund it, and they don't want to. And they convince themselves that that is perfectly fine.

The absolute boy Jezza is being disowned by his own MP's, he's gone full on UKIP, and to think you remainiacs thought he was your savior.

Erm. Which Remain voters thought that? Quote some please. I'll wait.
