Of course it was a sweeping generalisation, and I do know plenty of folk that were remainers. However, it's also inescapable that the older generation that has trashed the futures of the young; if they hadn't been so bloody selfish and unquestioning they might have made a more informed decision. It's ever been thus I suppose.

Meanwhile, the Brexiteers have put not only the Good Friday Agreement but peace in Ireland at risk with their astounding lack of concern for the border in Ireland. It's difficult to see how anyone would be willing to sacrifice the progress made over the last twenty years for an ideal that sees division and exclusion as a good thing. The Brexiteer attitude to Ireland betrays the dishonesty and arrogance that is the heart of Brexit; millions of little Cromwells happy to risk the suffering of others for a pack of lies. They will have blood on their hands if this goes tits up.

Good on the Irish PM for standing his ground: Irish PM: I will block Brexit talks unless hard border is off the table
