"So much for using age"

How old was he when he wrote it?

The link between age and voting preference in the referendum is proven (check there YouGov site) and so although you could argue correlation does not imply causation, the most parsimonious argument for those figures is more old people wanted to leave the EU than young people.

I was raised in 1970's Britain where racism was the norm and the sort of attitudes expressed above were part of daily life. My own family came from Southall and their world changed beyond all recognition during their lifetimes, something they too struggled to understand. However, times do change and thankfully the 1970's attitudes only linger in those whom seem unable to grasp their old world of white privilege is gone and we live in a rich, diverse multicultural world. Do you feel your culture under threat? Then work to keep it alive locally, not by blaming people from other cultures for wanting to live here.

Look on the bright side. The old white men have had given the younger folk with their upstart ideas about diversity, equality and free movement a right good kicking, and made your point in a way that they'll remember long after you've ceased worrying about it. You really showed them what it's all about.
