Operation Fightback - Millennials vs Baby Boomers after Brexit

But we don't know that. Already, there's been drastic negative effects. If it wasn't for these negative effects that already happened not even up to a day after the results but hours after, no one would complain as much.
At this point, I'm now just hoping for the best. I'm done crying over spilled milk. If it goes well, that's great as it is all to our advantage as a country then if it does not go well, I guess we'll just have to pick up the pieces and learn from our past mistakes. Hopefully the pound will gain its worth again, that Cameron will change his mind on leaving or at least we'd be able to find a good prime minister in replacement and most importantly that Scotland will see some benefits in staying with us. This is me being optimistic. The truth though is that optimism is at times very far from the reality. Fingers crossed we'll be ok.
Tuition fees have raised to 9,000 from 3,000 over the years...the last thing young people need who fall into at least £27,000 in debt is a recession. And the government even had the audacity to state it may increase over the years. In Germany, if I remember clearly it is free of charge to study at university. Now we've left, who knows how hard it would be for British students to receive a free education by studying and partly staying in Germany.

How, in the slightest?

It wasn't 2%, it was 4%, and a win of well over one million votes is a decisive victory. If you believe in democracy, you will believe that all peoples, regardless of race, sex and age, are entitled to their vote. You should respect the will of the people and start trying to better Britain as an independent and commonwealth nation.

And you have perfectly exemplified the reason why so many people voted remain: you're looking at tomorrow, you're not looking at 5 or 10 years down the road

People spent hours complaining that the UK was consistently out voted in Europe. They spent ages telling us that they thought differently to us.

By the same sentiment expressed in your post, we shouldn't have had a referendum to leave, we should have just shut up and accepted it.

It's literally impossible to default on student debt. You either earn enough to afford to pay it back or you don't pay back anything. Tuition fees are the biggest red herring I have ever seen when it comes to people moaning about the economy or their own personal finances.

Are you actually seriously legitimately comparing the two? Like seriously actually? You think demanding a referendum on the EU's membership status because you believe the EU is no longer fit for purpose is akin to having a tantrum on the streets of London whenever the Tories win an election or ranting on social media because a national vote didn't go your way? Like for real?

If a recession happened, it would be a nightmare. That's all I am saying. Consider other people. I'm done with this. I've accepted it is the result I just pray we're not completely finished.

People weren't getting their way in Europe, they had a hissy fit and left.

People aren't getting their way in the UK, they are told to shut up and take it.

Its not just the young vs the baby boomers. Its us 30 to 50s as well. The people in the middle. We made choices and me personally I am bloody happy that we have left the EU. Means we can get rid of this nanny state attitude.

Back in my day during school you got a really good shouting at if you disrespected your elders.
During my Parent's time at school you got the cane and you where whipped into submission.
During my Grand Parents time at school you got birched and it really really hurt!

Your lucky that we have moved on from a barbaric fascist society to a semi benevolent society.

Maybe we should revert back to the good good old days and you can learn some respect!

Tell you 1 thing the new generations who where born from 1995 on wards really should learn some life experience 1st because you may think your going to earn £75,000+ right now but reality has ways of biting you and waking you up.

And as for your social justice pro noun safe space rubbish majority of the elderly think your a joke!

It's literally impossible to default on student debt. You either earn enough to afford to pay it back or you don't pay back anything. Tuition fees are the biggest red herring I have ever seen when it comes to people moaning about the economy or their own personal finances.

Ladies and gentlemen. May I present our elders and betters. Bring back the cane, whip the young into subservience, elderly people hate you.

Right, that doesn't remove their point about avoiding the tuition fees all together.

Just because you won't be declared bankrupt by not being able to pay it doesn't mean people want that hovering over their head when previously it was entirely possible to go abroad and study for free.

Your right and if it was me in charge of your education I'd have you singing hymn's to learn that this country was founded on Christian principles.

I'd have you learning about real history that matters such as how Thatcher destroyed working class communities and how the EU destroyed an entire fishing industry.

You would only speak when spoken too and you would have nothing but respect for members of staff.

To put it bluntly I would have every school in Britain swap to the Chinese system.

I think you're confused on how percentages work. 52% voted leave, if 2% swapped to remain, then remain would have won with 52%. When someone changes their vote it both gets added to the other side and you lose it from your side. So a ~1% vote swing would have made it exactly 50:50.

I also think you're thoroughly confused about what the OP is discussing. Typically older people carry more political "weight" because while obviously everyone's vote is equal, vastly more of them turn up. If you can appeal to 1 million people to vote for you knowing 5% will turn up or appeal to another million people and 95% of them will turn up, which are you going to pick?

The entire point is that the millennials who complain about being screwed over by the baby boomers mostly let it happen by not voting and if we voted in higher numbers we could have much more say.

He has not said anywhere there should be a 2nd referendum, that is just your paranoia.

It doesn't 'hover' over anyone's heads. It's the least impactful debt you'll ever have in your life.
We've had the opportunity to study abroad for free instead of paying tuition fees for over a decade now and still literally 99% of English students study in England, for a reason. English universities are better by a country mile.

I will conceive to your point about the second referendum as I'm flicking between threads so I'm getting confused about each OP.

Regardless of who voted for what, the majority of British people voted to leave the EU and I don't understand why that's so hard to accept. It was the elders who kept Scotland in the UK and no one cared, but for some reason anti-democratic and hypocritical "progressives" are trying to make it into an injustice because it defies their political agenda.
