I was taking about their Darwinian inheritance. Not money or houses. Morals and principles?

Maybe we have hit the nail on the head. I'm voting to make Britain a better place for my children when they are older knowing I will have to do one for the team and suffer a possible few harder years. So really you are second guessing it will be better in a relatively short time.

But in defending your kid's best interests, you're imposing your version of best upon everybody else's. It should be perfectly possible for everyone to get the best for their kids.

The elderly have sons, daughters and grandchildren and an entire inheritance to think about. That’s a bit more than where the next holiday or night out is coming from or who they want shag at the weekend. Your brain doesn’t even fully developed until about 24 years old. Smartphones will probably delay that even further. It’s weird to me how we adpoted a modern attitude of sneering at our old and seeing them as purely a burden. That’s not the case in most countries of the world for good reason. I wonder why that’s why we have so many self entitled millennials with little clue as to what’s going on in the world but limitless capacity for being offended. They just need a good spell on the naughty step. It’s also of note that the social justice warriors don’t see age as one of their “intersections”. Ageism clearly doesn’t fit neatly into their ideology, Edited by W12 (06 Dec 2018 11.00pm) Yet manifestly they did not. That is the point. It's too easy to cast the accusation that this is mere ageism. Whether you like it or not, without elderly xenophobia (not racism), Brexit would not have won the day. And before another person accuses me of being ageist, I am no spring chicken myself.

It's a judgement call. Many in the older generation know that we were doing perfectly fine before the EU and know that being a trading nation we will again......Younger people don't have that life experience. Also, the EU is not built upon stable ground economically nor politically and being outside the EU lessens the financial impact of its possible Euro collapse far more than inside it.

I had the same - some 'gammons' telling me not to disrespect the older generation - I am 70!!!! My hat goes off to the one who accused me of endangering western civilisation by supporting another vote !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never knew I had so much power....

This is just the narrative that you and the other bad loser Remainers prefer.
