No, as I said in my first post - 70% of young people age 18-25 voted. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk70% of those that voted. But if turnout from that age group were low then 70% of a low number is an even lower number.
Hi
Is there a link to this data ? Ta.
Everywhere I look the turnout for that age group is estimated to have been only 36%.

So 70% of a 36% turnout means that only 1 in 4 (or 25%) of that age group voted to Remain. Lazy idle barstewards.

Have a read of the link I posted sir.I aggre it was killed off like my glass industry was by the bloody unions striking for more pay a every week. Don't get me going on unions 😂 They got our glass works labourers wages up to the same level as skilled tradesmen over the years. £38k a year for pressing a few buttons or driving a fork truck and then wonder why all the jobs went. But we are talking about the recent steel problem and China I think. Yes the government agreed but that doesn't help the lost fishing jobs and maybe they got out voted, bit like they have just been out voted over the latest port regulations which would have started to ruin our ports. 5/8 Mmmmm, Is that an ordinary mile or a nautical mile ? 😂😂😂😂😂

I belong to a forum where another member is a senior manager of a Spanish fishing fleet. They've been fishing the west coast of Africa for twenty or more years that I'm aware of and there is nothing in place to monitor what they do or how much they catch.. Local fishermen there struggle to catch enough fish to live on now, never mind to sell to make a living.
Somthing fishy Scot, For and against. 😂 4. HURTING DEVELOPING COUNTRIES European fisheries policies are disastrous for neighbouring countries. Under the CFP, the EU bullies and bribes poor countries into opening their waters to predatory European factory ships. The EU fleet now takes around 40 percent of its catch by weight from the waters of so-called partner countries. That threatens the livelihoods of 1.5 million small fishermen in West Africa. They are turning to smuggling emigrants instead, while their Somali counterparts are forced into piracy.I'm a member of a forum where oanother member is a manager

I agree, first world fishing fleets ruining third world fish stocks, industry and livelyhoods is awful. How is leaving the EU going to stop that?

Nope....but if you ask a question about a stripe on an Exige it'll mysteriously disappear.
I am amazed you didn't try and drag it back onto that fcuking TV!

I'm back, under the wire and over the wall without any problem, in fact everyone was really nice despite our French plates all that. I lost count of the number of people who wanted to know what we were going to do now, I lost count of the number of people who thought the leave vote was a disaster and honestly, I didn't meet one person who thought it was great, not one.
So, yesterdays heroes who were going to lead us into the sunny uplands of Outland, Boris and Nick, have resigned and run away because we are now in a complete mess with no plan and they don't want to be tarred with failing to solve the problem. Somebody please tell me what happens next..........................

Where have you been madmitch? Sorry if it's mentioned earlier in the thread. I've had a few American customers taking advantage of our battered currency they normally like to call for a chat the US customers so although it's a small cross section the three I have spoken to were all dumbfounded as to why the vote went the way it did. I predicted we would be busy in the aftermath as the weakening pound wasn't rocket science to foresee but the longer term outlook I'm afraid is very bad. The downturn will be a self fulfilling prophecy. The papers that brainwashed people for the vote are now reporting every negative bit of news. People in business will become more cautious nobody will want to commit to any big purchases. I had a customer today that works in shipping they have seen a huge downturn in business with many international shippers actually relocating onto the continent or making plans to do so. This whole fiasco will be a load of old bother for 10 years now just to end up as associate members fully signed up for free movement. The pointlessness of the whole thing is frustrating. People at the top as ever will be OK it's the working classes that swung the vote that will pay to flush migrants out of their town with their own jobs. Sweet irony.
We came back to the UK for a family wedding. Really enjoyed the visit, proper eggs and home cured bacon, microbrewery beer and cider, perfect sunny weather for the weekend, it was wonderful - but the traffic, dreadful, like the roads! At the wedding were two of the youngsters in our family, both work in research, one at Bristol University and the other at Oxford University, both say they expect to see a massive cut in funding as most of their money comes from the EU. And everybody so dismal, but hey, it's only 'Project Fear'!!

The US had their brexit in 1776. They have been fine.
Just give it time.

Well, they did have a rather messy civil war after that and judging by the current state of race relations, it hasn't been all good.The US had their brexit in 1776. They have been fine. Just give it time.
