More Guardian trash that certain posters latch onto with desperation.

When the kids grow up and see the world from a different perspective many will regret the part they played in the ruin of this great country.

How unexpected. Tories prove to be idiots.

I voted out of the EU. My husband and parents voted out of the EU and we are all left leaning.

The findings by academics at Queen Mary University of London could spell trouble for the chances of a more socially liberal candidate such as Ruth Davidson succeeding Theresa May as Tory leader, given that the final choice is made in a vote of party members.

The study also shows that almost five years after David Cameron sought to move the party towards a more socially inclusive position by pushing through the gay marriage law, Tory members – 44% of whom are 65 or older – remain resistant.

44% 65 or older which means 56% are not. And. What do you expect the over 65s to do roll over and die. Talk about AGEIST. I believe you are only about 20 years away from that yourself - what do you propose to do at that age put up and shut up. Disgusting attitude.

If you think a second referendum is the answer to your prayers I think you might be in for a rude awakening.

You have quoted the OP 3 times... I haven't suggested I want a 2nd referendum have I?

So, if there is any truth to this, why do people change their politics through life, back and forth?
