mossdog Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 A couple of twitter users have summarised today perfectly for all the under 40s who voted massively in favour of remain - "A generation given everything: free education, golden pensions, social mobility, have voted to strip my generation’s future" "We've lost our future because you wanted to re-live your romanticised past" ..........well I would say rubbish to that! The younger generation have no idea what hardships and what the previous generations fought for!.............I could go on but what's the point.

If it wasn't for the older generation who fought for freedom, there would have been NO future whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L00b Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) honest question . how come you can move but your staff cannot?Lack of linguistic aptitude of the staff, family circumstances, financial circumstances <etc>. I now have the exact same issue with some of my staff. And I very much doubt I'm alone. Unlike my menhir-carting friend here, I (and the said staff) have the luxury of a bit of time though, so I might be able save mine's jobs yet. Depends how the next 2 years turn out, so they'll be on tenter hooks, and there's not much at all I can do about it (all in hands of UK negotiators). No promises though, business is business. Simple question/issue: I can move, with my job, anywhere in the EU tomorrow (english, french or german-speaking) and set up shop. Can you? (Or e.g. Your kids, if you're retired/have any) Edited June 24, 2016 by L00b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynic Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 what future have you lost?, what has changed to inhibit you? Me personally in the next 6 months - I'm having to take my house off the market as I can't risk a bigger mortgage in such uncertain times, my living expenses are all going up, the company I work for is considering leaving the UK, oh and my holiday just got a lot more expensive. In the long term I've no idea, nobody does. Things had been doing pretty well as they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've been through 2008-2010, right? I'll let you imagine how the forthcoming year or two is going to affect people's going-out/leisure spending patterns. Before we've mentioned public spending and associated transport contracts. And the (relatively) free hand involuntarily given to the harder-right on immigration topics (...from which Muslim-averse sentiments are never far, currently). Best of luck to you mafya.

Good point, all the improvements in the UK in the last 40 years have allowed us all to have our own home and nice things if we want them. Why risk all that with a massive change and a journey into the unknown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
