Very stirring and I'm sure, like Farage, it would go down very well at the golf club. However, your maths is also out. The generation we are talking about was born post war and through the 1950s. They weren't born when their parents voted in Atlee's 1945 government and were at oldest three years old when the welfare state was created, so couldn't have 'WORKED' for their benefits. They are the adults of the 1960s: high productivity, strong industries, low unemployment, high wages, educational opportunities, high levels of social mobility. All now picked apart, sold off or thrown away by four decades of selfish, short-termist thinking.

No , what is''out'' is not my maths but your perception of that generation growing up in a land of milk and honey with little hardship, rationing didnt end until 1954 , and your ludicrous claims that they were ''given'' the benefits you talk about such as the NHS ,welfare state and council housing , they werent ''given'' them as ive already said, they worked , for them, you sound like the single mums interviewed on Jeremy Kyle who tell us all that the ''guvvaments got loadsa money'' when asked where they think the money comes from to fund their lifestyles.

Nothing has actually changed yet though, which is why the market has bounced back after the news of the result. Once we actually invoke Article 50, and the details of what leaving the EU actually means you will see the markets fall pretty drastically again, with no guarantee that they'll come back.

IF , and its still very much up for negotiation , we dont get a good deal, they sell MORE to us than we do th them , why would they make it more difficult for that to happen ?

Remain remain.

I bet about 10 000 leave voters have died since last Thursday already. Give it another few months and you'd not even have to rely on the regrexiters switching their vote to swing a 2nd referendum back to remain.

Ah the only Remainer from the North West.Bet your parents are proud of you,if you know who they are.:)

Putting aside the ad hominem nonsense about Jeremy Kyle and getting back to facts, the baby-boomers weren't labelled 'the golden generation' because of all the hardships they endured:

If you want to carry on mythologising, go back a generation or two.

Nice attempt at propaganda, but those who fought in the second world war aged 18-24 are now between 89 and 101. Most of that generation are dead. The generation that overwhelmingly voted Brexit are their children, the generation that was given the Welfare State, NHS, council housing, decent pensions, university grants, all the benefits provided by the 1948 Labour government and in return their majority bequeathed the sod-you-Jack Neo-liberalism of Thatcher and her ilk. Nice of them to top it with an unachievable attempt at isolation in an internationalist world.

Isolation?What an incredibly stupid thing to say.How many countries have Embassies in London?Have they all closed?

So you only need to give something up given that your deginition says especially rather than exclusively.

Wtf would the author of that article know about hardships ? He went to boarding school ffs , my dads family were pawning the blankets off the beds and getting them back at the weekends , he didn't have underpants until he went to work ffs , so take your spectator article by a middle class Journalist , and shove it, it's laughable that you could use something like that to try and debunk what I'd written.

A Master's degree in economics, a thesis on currency trading and market fluctuations and several years working in the City. Whilst it's not a total guarantee that the markets will suffer long term, it is very likely if you ask the vast, vast majority of those with decent experience of watching, working and writing about them.

Although all born pre-1945, my dad's family had similar upbringings. However my originally post did not argue that nobody had it tough, merely that, for a lot of the generation we are discussing, things got much better than it had been for their parents and that they didn't continue to make similar improvements for the generations to follow.

All easy to find with many EU countries having income tax rates at or above the UK rates.
Therefore please free feel to move and pay more tax but of course that doesnt fit with your view.

Steady. You know how sick the country is of experts. We now live in a world where making vital decisions shouldn't be clouded by things like knowledge, facts, or evidence. What could possibly go wrong?

Ive worked the markets ,ive traded and broked several asset classes and i agree to a certain extent, what i dont thing youre taking into account is the fact that (in my view) we will get a far better deal than is widely expected .
