Don't you think there might be a possibility that your daughter might actually end up with a proper worthwhile job, and maybe even be able to buy her own house? You see we oldies can remember a time when a house could be bought for roughly a years wage. We can also remember when a woman could stay at home and look after her own children, and as a result, never complained about the lack of childcare. We can remember when those in work paid for a pension for the older generation, their parents and grandparents, because we respected the sacrifices they had made to enable us to grow up during a period that the only choices you had were to work or starve. We can also remember when holidays consisted of one day at Christmas, and maybe a week during the summer, when if you were lucky, you could spend a few days by the seaside. We can also remember when we were told that having large families (more than two) was horrendously bad, but that new technology was going to make life so much easier. We would have much more leisure time, and would even be able to retire early in order to leave jobs for the young. And do you know what.... We actually enjoyed life, and we enjoyed being there caring for our elders and our children. The bit I can't remember, is being told that the next generation would be a selfish lot that would begrudge their elders even the very air that the breath, in order that they could have three foreign holidays every year Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

It ain't sour grapes but the issues are stacking up that I doubt most who voted out had a scoobies on the big picture issues.
But hey ho we need to make the best of it and move forward together and hopefully this new vision for the UK that BREXIT has promoted will come to pass. |

I'm not just worried about jobs and house prices (don't see what they have to do with the EU though TBH).
There are all the other benefits of EU membership I'm disappointed we might lose. Will a future government repeal legislation protecting workers rights? As I've posted many times before, who will prosecute big business to prevent restrictive practices (Microsoft etc). The EU might now be too weak to pursue the tax avoidance of Ebay and Google etc. People scoff but cleaner beaches, cheaper mobile phone charges, the regulation of cigarette advertising, compensation for late flights etc were all positive additions to our lives. Not to mention the right to retire or work in the EU. |

You have just hit the right spot..... 1: The Spanish and French fishing boats do fish in our waters, with the EU blessing. 2: And you're right again, the French did block our Beef imports, and did it again recently by dumping truck loads on the highway, and I can't remember the EU rushing to resolve either issue 3: I don't pay my taxes so that yours and Klarzys kids can enjoy a holiday in Europe.

Polly, the point I was making, was that we used to have the EU to sort those kind of messes out. In particular the blockade of beef by the French was declared illegal and the French government (eventually) lifted the blockade. Without the EU and a legal framework to back it up, I can see a rise in petty disputes between us and other EU nations.
And yes Gman2, I am hoping for rather more than the Victorian lifestyle described for Bob junior when the time comes! |
