Sorry mate but that's my opinion
Not saying for one sec that all leave votes are from racist idiots but I bet my life a large percentage are
Listening to 5 live all day yesterday and so many people starting with "I'm not racist but..."

There's your divisive politics coming from the remain side, right there...
I'm only 45, as well. Guess I'm not long for this world.

Say NO to Ginger Managers
Misinformed and fearful, how does that sound.
influenced by ignorance and bigots in the media hammering home a "immigrants are the cause of all your woes" message for years.

Goal posts will be moved to suit the union argument I would think.
Last time a lot of promises were made by the no camp including, funnily enough, that a no vote was the vote to stay in the EU.
Most people I know up here that voted yes (myself included) would have preferred a federalist uk where all home nations had distinct parliaments and replaced the lords with a shared democratic house to control key shared policy areas such as defence / foreign policy. It wasn't offered then but I suspect might be bandied about if there is another referendum.
It's clear that there is a lot of division in society now which is sad, who could have guessed that voting the eton brat pack into power six years ago would damage this island so much, I mean they've got so much in common with us all....
Time for a strong and credible option from the centre-left.
Or, the 18 - 30 demographic was the one targeted by a frighteningly zealous social media campaign designed specifically to vent torrents of vile abuse upon anyone that dared question Project Fear.
Facebook and Twitter are not particularly shining examples of balanced, intellectual debating forums at the best of times; in the last month however both have become positively Orwellian.
Read this on Sky - sums things up well.
China has invested heavily, or at least planned to, using the UK as the bridgehead into Europe's 500 million-person market. Japan has been doing so for years - imagine Sunderland without the added Nissan.
Britain's flexible labour market, rule of law, financial services and tradition of entrepreneurism have, for 40 years, meant that it was able to attract non-EU investors keen to muscle in on the mainland's markets.
Britain has been seen by EU-outsiders as the broker between German and French competition inside Europe. Its standing in the world has been derived not only from its recent history of empire and Commonwealth connections but also because it has been a major player in the biggest trade bloc on earth.
What its place in that market will be in the long term will be the focus of anxious and prolonged negotiation.
But there can be no doubt that from Washington to Beijing leaders have been, and will be, shaking their heads with incredulity at what they will see as a bizarre turning inward by a nation that once saw no horizons to its influence.
That is pretty much it really - a bizarre, insular move from a country that is historically progressive and looks to influence the world.

Just like the vote on going to Kirkby.
I voted remain mate, but it's to early to say that your going to have to live with the consequences of a leave vote, when we don't really know what the consequences of us leaving will be. It could all turn out for the best, and your generation benefit from it.
That has been the problem since the leave vote, it's all been 'doom and gloom' and it's the end of civilisation as we know it.
At the end of the day we're all in it together now whether the you voted leave or remain, and we just need to now get on with it and make it work.

So no suggestion that we won't get heavy investment in the future then
