Well, young lady, we gave you your future and we saved the West from the Soviets
My father is a good decade older than your generation. His words yesterday, in reaction to Brexit, were: "now we only have to get rid of the Poles, that other American trojan horse in the Union".

And what's it at now? You panic and you threw a hissy fit.
Your tantrum saying that Tankie's generation/my generation ruined your future, destroyed the UK. Well, young lady, we gave you your future and we saved the West from the Soviets and when we see things we don't like and we acted within our rights, you're the one throwing a hissy fit. You lost your vote. Deal with it like an adult.
BREXIT and the Iranian Ayatollahs are launching a Chinese Pearl Harbour! Shessh.
My generation and the younger one voted to 'remain'. Was the drop in the value of GBP and FTSE futures a 'tantrum' of mine?
You deliberately misinterpret my words and refuse to answer straight forward questions... I see little point in continuing to converse with you and wish you good day Sir.

I misinterruput your words? Tankie's generation destroyed your future. China is going to launch a Pearl Harbour. How the hell do I mistinterrupt them?
A one day event to which you said it was worst than BLACK whatever. I answered with a straight question. What is the pound now? It's recovered. I'm way too freaking old to be spook by one time events. People bet money on the wrong horse. You apparently did. Take your losses and rebuild them. I've seen enough "BLACK" days to know the market will recover and recover fast. Hell, Margret Thatcher toyed with national bankruptcy. So, suck it up, your generation. You're behaving like a bunch of crybabies.

and what next after poland? Soviet Union right? oops, i meant Russia, and your german wet dream would come true.
Interestingly, Google Trends reported friday that the second-most-asked question typed into Google in Britain referring to the European Union was "What is the EU?".
and what's your point? Many british didnt show up to vote, especially the young. I bet they made most of the search. So again, whats interesting about it?
There's something pernicious about the old figuring they had the right to decide the future for the young, especially since a significant fraction of the staunchest pro-Brexit folks won't be around 10 years hence, while the young, who happen to be the most adamant about staying in the EU will almost all still be alive and voting.

Great, then in 10 years ask to be let back in under article 49 and get better terms. Well assuming that the EU is still around, is economically better off than the UK as a whole and hasn't turned into a regulatory monster like the US federal government.

The old made the deal. The old didn't like the way the deal turned out. The old has the right to leave the deal that they've made in the first place.
As much as I love my daughter, she has no say on how I spend her inheritance, aka my money.
