Fingers crossed! But yes apart from that they’ll say/ think we’re all idiots of course!Walked down my road earlier - three Labour posters, one bollox to brexit sticker,  I was down the weatherspoons pub to see the exit poll seemed appropriate, and of course had to have at least an extra pint!

This is the quietest I've known this forum in  the last 3 and a half years🤔

Yes, I am a bit surprised that the Remainers who know everything about how young people vote haven’t commented yet.  Presumably some young people voted Conservative to give them this massive win.

I read on twitter that there's a mass exodus of Guardian readers via the Eurotunnel

Lol @Adam!That champion of fairness and reasoned argument (not) Gina Miller was speaking to Nick Ferrari on LBC this morning and she had to concede that a 2nd referendum was now dead in the water. It sounded like she was speaking through gritted 😬.

Very funny, Adam.  If only!

Martine Guy ● 2525d

Adam has been coming out with a few crackers the last few days to keep our hardcore Remainers entertained :-)That's funny Sue as I just posted about her the same time as you lol

Paul Game ● 2525d

Great minds Paul cos I just answered you! 😸

Hi Martine.  To be fair, I think voting was largely along age lines.  The polls (which turned out to be pretty accurate) suggested that under 35s were voting overwhelmingly for Labou, whilst the over 55s voted overwhelmingly Conservative.  The difference was the middle-aged voters who seem to have turned out for the Tories

Craig Fordham ● 2525d

Well, as I have put before it is the middle class graduate that seems to be supporting Labour.  Wonder how the young blue collar vote went?

Martine Guy ● 2525d

Not from me. 2nd ref or any hope of staving off Brexit is gone, I'm willing to concede that given this result. I just hope people don't end up regretting things when the Tories push through all manner of things with their new power.Obviously I'd still like something to happen for the country to remain, but that's extremely unlikely given the size of the majority the Tories have.

"Obviously I'd still like something to happen for the country to remain, but that's extremely unlikely given the size of the majority the Tories have."Indeed. Enjoy the ride. And the view.
