As a "pensioner" and a father of six children with ages from 36-21 also with one D|in law, two S/in laws I voted to remain not for my future but for my children\grand children's future . To my disgust none of my children or their partners voted in the Brexit referendum , having spoken to my friends and relations of my age the majority say the same of their families and all but one voted to remain for the same reason as I did. No doubt some "pensioners" all be it stupidly voted for the return to the "good old days", it begs the question how many of the generation to who this is of vital importance for their future and their childrens future could be bothered to get of their a**e and vote.
Like the majority of my age group I worked from the age of 15yrs to 66yrs (1yr past retirement age) and the only "benefit I have ever collected from the state is my pension (apart from family allowance). I also paid in to a private pension which I collect and have tax deducted, so I continue to contribute to the pot!.
I think that whatever way this farce ends the biggest loser will be democracy, and the percentage of those who vote in future national and local elections will be greatly reduced leading to more chaos in "your future".
I will now step down, and let you all continue with this divisive issue.
