Yeah but the difference being is we know how to get through it.

They weren’t brexiteers mate
They fought against the kind of shite fuling the Brexit vote
Most of the generation you speak of were long dead before the vote took place.
A well balanced, reasoned post
People who voted Brexit stand to gain absolutely fucking nothing
Sorry if that offends
True, and we usually manage to cope - but I don't feel the community spirit that was around in the 80s when my dad was jobless and people would come around with food. We have food banks instead and you'll often see a Tory MP in one with a cameraman.
The thing is, the UK has 2 major costs at the moment. Welfare (most of it being the state pension), and the NHS. It's struggling to keep both going, and has preferred to cut other things instead. Those things are now cut to the bone, so with lower tax revenues (everyone knows tax revenues will take a hit) - which is going to go? The NHS, or the pensions?
Yes she is. Only problem is we’re three nil down and need to win to avoid relegation
Not true, we take back control of are borders and are sovrinty.
Well fuck me,I am Liam Neeson.
And she's just looked down and spotted she had a melon instead of a ball, and the EU are running up the pitch with the actual ball and are looking for a 4th.
Why would people be okay with losing prosperity?

Keeping it serious, I consider war in humane and serious, I do realise they are gone now, my father in law was a survivor of the D Day landings
we had a few discussions of that day before he passed on, and i (belong to wife) have a couple of German belongings in my house from the beach,
also his medals reside over our fireplace. I'll bat either way with Brexit although consider the vote should be respected, but would also not be too bothered if a 2nd vote enacted
Tuskies comments IMO would tip the balance further towards leave.
Why should we even have a race to the bottom? How would we progress with that mentality?

WEED CLUB They weren’t brexiteers mate
They fought against the kind of shite fuling the Brexit vote

Too true, having survived the bad times in the 70's, 3 day week etc, and the mass unemployment of the 80's, 15% interest on the mortgage, building firms laying everyone off and taking us back on for cash in hand, for a fifth of what we were earning, no insurance, no holiday money, fuck me I'll survive anything after those years I reckon.
Apparently we will still be able to make our own rules, like we did before. Oh, and in a country with a GDP of £2 trillion (£2,000,000,000,000), we will not be giving the EU £13bn (£13,000,000,000). In other words, 0.65% of the country's GDP is going to be saved! That's the same as you losing £65 when you have £10,000 in your pocket.
GDP is forecast to fall by (at best) 3%. That is £60,000,000,000 - or £47,000,000,000 more lost than if we continued to stay in the EU. I am wrong, it's actually more because the UK GDP is forecast to grow by about 1.5% if we remained in the EU (approximately another £30bn). So, to save £13bn, it is going to cost the economy a forecast £77bn.
Companies are moving HQs over seas. The hope is that the UK will lower corporation tax, to keep those companies here. Paying less tax. So, with less revenues, and with a forecast rise in unemployment (and benefits) to 8% - it will be hard to see how the UK can pass on good news to the people.
Tarriffs will mean some goods will go up in price - so inflation will rise in the short term. How is that going to be dealt with? Probably with interest rate rises. So, if you are lucky enough to keep your job, you will have less spending power than pre-Brexit. That means that you are less likely to buy that new car, or have a meal out, or any of the other things that businesses rely on.
And all because the banker Farage, the patriot seen laughing at the falling pound on referendum night, convinced the factory workers in Sunderland that he was one of them. Or that Boris Johnson based his decision to back the leave campaign because it was more likely to suit his ambitions to be Prime Minister, or that multi-millionaire Jacob Rees-Mogg (recently moving some of his business to Ireland, or Dyson (recently moving his HQ to Singapore) are patriots who care about Britain!
Johnson actually wrote two articles for the rag he wrote for - one a passionate defence of membership of the EU, the other not. He doesn't care either way.

What I've put up with in the 70's and 80's means that fuck all scares me anymore
My parents grew up in the 30s in Merthyr when times were really tough but they knuckled down and lived within their means and got through. It's in the blood Al.

It just might bring about a community spirit and for me thats priceless
Don't blame us working classes for the race to the bottom.
