Ha. He wouldn't be on there two minutes before the lefty bully brigade were on his case.

Don't play the victim Nick, you give as good as you get.
If you dish it out then don't cry foul when you get it back. Stay on the BBS if you want to preach to the converted.

During the 3 day week when we had the power cuts it got very dark

It isn't called democracy for my 17 year old.

Or for the Scots.

My daughter tells me that the proportion of over 65s that voted out was very high. As they are the generation with Defined Benefit pensions, lots of them had little to lose.

Whereas the proportion of younger people voting out was low. Yet again young people pick up the pieces from the selfishness of the old. If we were going to gamble with their future, the least we could have done is allowed 16 year olds, who tend to be pretty well informed, to vote.

I went to Morrisons today to do my shopping and the cashier asked this foreign couple in front of me if they wanted help packing their bags. I thought f***, this is happening quicker than I expected!

What the hell do you know, she won't be thanking you. Why do you think that you know better than every big business leader, banker and economic advisor.

What a load of twaddle, just because you are older you know better? You are having a laugh.

Meanwhile we have to do some serious thinking about how to get out of the hole people like you chose to dig us into.

Matt, I am f*cked. How do you think I will feel? I am less bothered about me, I do care for the coming generation which already has to support the unsustainable weight of the earlier generations. I do not accept the case for the status quo wasn't strong enough, that will become clear as our future unfolds. We just had sh*t politicians who failed to explain the real issues and who didn't understand the depth of disenfranchisement of so many people.

Those who were in a good position to know the likely effects but still chose to pursue this path need to carry the burden. Some did it for personal gain, some because of the excitement of the risk. But they knew they were gambling with the future of my children. They did not have that right. Look at how the young people voted, they didn't want to gamble because they had more to lose.

And by the way, boasting about making a pile of money out of the misery of others didn't play well.

I appreciate the implied positive comment on my normal postings, even if we don't always see eye to eye. And I blame Corbyn more than Cameron for the campaign, but Cameron for starting this whole hare running for his own political expediency.

I asked a bloke in sainsburys just now who was buying a euromillions ticket whether he voted leave. He said he did, then what he was doing dawned on him.

Melodramatic. We voted leave for generations to come, not for the next few years.

You have a point about boasting over the profit from speculating but all Hoof did was take money off other speculators. Don't for one minute think that a hedge fund, pension fund or portfolio was long at the high of the FTSE, shares or £. Not a f***ing chance. They would've liquidated or been in different positions. £65 billion was moved out of UK shares etc very recently for a start. But you won't be told about the trading in between the start and final price.

I said it to him tongue in cheek, but he did stop and think for a moment. Twas all good natured!
