Anyone over 70 should be banned from voting? Well that wipes out the House of Lords and a lot of the Commons including one J. Corbyn. You maybe onto to something Steeleye. By the way young people can be just as selfish and short-sighted as us old gits. Speaking for himself surely.

The young are far more intelligent and aware of life than elderly selfish mostly retired people. They should vote from 13 years old. Society would benefit with an inclusive labour government for the many, not just selfish old gits and corporations. You really are mad if you think Corbyn Abbott and McDonnell are the answer......work hard buy your own house and have these t***s take it away and give it to the workshy!! Yeah great!!

My dear wife has often called me a selfish, narrow-minded,short-sighted,bigoted old git, adding that I have got worse with the advancing years. She does however recognise that I have been a eurosceptic and on the right-wing of the Conservative party since the day we met and this has not changed with age. We met way back in 1982.

This here is a perfect example of one of the reasons people want out of the EU and our divvy politicians just don't get it. We don't want to build on the green belt and concrete over everything, we don't want more and more people because this is excactly the consequences and we knew this over 10 years ago. If you voted remain you will get more and more of this, is this what you wanted? Edited by dannyboy1978 (26 Oct 2019 3.11pm) Fair play for turning this into a post about the EU, who incidentally do far more by the way of environmental policies in the UK than our own government. Also, if you think we’ll stop building on green belt when we leave the EU, you’re dreaming. Also, we entirely have the power whilst remaining in the EU to tighten our immigration policies - our government never did it. All in all, this post is Brexit in a nutshell; Truth and accuracy need not apply.

Young people have ideals, they haven't reached the stage where cynicism, materialism, exposure to corruption, the media, the HOL (satire) kicks in. Let us include the young they are the future, we are not. Take a back seat you have had it your way too long.
The media; really.

All in all, this post is Brexit in a nutshell; Truth and accuracy need not apply. We could control the number of non EU migrants but that means setting a higher entry bar for them whilst no bar for EU citizens. We can deport EU citizens who have been here for more than 3 months and haven't found work but that is hardly a practical solution. It is more cost effective to control who comes to your country in the first place. With regard to the environment you have a point and my response is that once we have left the EU if the public want to vote for an ER government so be it. I'll just get my horse and cart.

'We have a govt which has broken its central promise; an opposition which does not want an election to make them pay for it; two anti Brexit parties offering to break the deadlock in a way that could enable Brexit; & an EU which cannot do anything about any of it.' An amusing summary. Corbyn just needs to deal with it and support an election, lose, and let someone else have a go. This issue could be resolved in five minutes if Remainers approved Brexit.

The Government hasn't been able to carry through its promise through because of the Brexit Blockers.

"The year is 2192. The British Prime Minister visits Brussels to ask for an extension of the Brexit deadline. No one remembers where this tradition originated, but every year it attracts many tourists from all over the world." I would give you a LOL but it's too close to the truth.
