Message: <blockquote data-quote="Angela Channing" data-source="post: 391287" data-attributes="member: 33">The tragedy of Brexit is that it was primarily old people voting to restrict the opportunities of young people. I think young people know at least as much (and probably more) about the EU than older people because they are generally more politically aware and engaged with the facts of political issues. According to polls, older people who voted leave now regret their vote.The Tories are absolutely to blame. They called the referendum, they promoted the lies about what leaving the EU would mean for us, they pushed the idea that we would have more money, sign many new lucrative trade deals, have lower immigration, lower food prices, more money for public services, all of which never materialised. The blame the public should accept is not finding out the true facts rather than believing Tory lies.</blockquote>
