it's almost as if the EU hasn't been a total shit show for the past several years.

The funny thing is that only 36% of people in the 18-24 year old age bracket actually bothered to get out and vote one way or the other (in a referendum that had an overall turnout of over 70%).
So the actual numbers are that 75% of the 36% of the age group who actually bothered to vote on Thursday voted to stay, meaning that 73% of 18-24 year olds either explicitly voted to leave, or just didn't give enough of a shit to vote either way.

All of the pro stay people are pretending that the EU has not been a complete economic and social disaster over the past ten years or so. The economies have been stagnant, at best, over the last 10 years and several of the countries, unwilling to reform their ways, have turned out to be a huge drag on the EU. Look at this link and scroll down to the economic growth rates per member state. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_the_European_Union
The yearly average of the EU is roughly .9% growth with the UK clocking in at a pathetic 1.4%. Now, if the EU had been growing at, say, 4-5% annually and the UK at 3.5%+ as an average AND the EU had not been fucking over the members with unmitigated third world immigration, I could see an argument for remain. However, given the actual facts, how could it be any worse than it already is?
As far as the jobs that will be lost, the most of these exist solely because of the EU and are paper pusher type jobs that rely heavily on the heavy handed regulation coming from Brussels as well as the paper trail requirements of businesses operations enforced by Brussels.

I remember being 20 and thought I knew it all.

Everyone who is 20 is a cunt like that. They need adults to educate them and put them in their places, and the adults need the kids to force them not to grow too complacent.

I love how they think the older generation let them down and not how it's the other way around, the oldies have seen what they fought for turn to shit, where a white Brit family can't get a house or job but a fresh off the back of the lorry brown muslim Somalian is given it all

Exactly, the plethora of generations that proceeded millennials must be thinking, time to reign in that leash.
The youth aren't ready for the big bad world yet.
How disappointed they must be in the majority of 20 something's.

There's a Brit documentary series I've been watching called How To Get A Council House. Throughout the series they did interviews with people who complained that immigrants were coming in and taking housing that normally would have gone to the Brits. Every time someone complained one of these housing managers would be shown downplaying their claims and calling bullshit.
In the very last episode they showed a Romanian guy who just decided one day to take his wife and 20 kids off to Britain, despite having no job, no family and nowhere to live over there. You can guess what happened. He rocked up, got himself onto welfare and they just gave him a house after he spent a few days in a homeless shelter. It totally exposed the bullshit these MPs and council managers spout because they're terrified of telling the truth/being labelled racist.

A mate of mine was between jobs and went to sign on at the job centre
he was offered some thing like £70 a week while the pole being seen next to him was getting well over £100 and the reason he heard that was because the pole barely understood English so kept having to have it explained loudly like us brits like to do when we don't know their language.
the country is fucked, if you go to the doctors the electronic sign in's have like 20 languages on them, not just English, we pander to them and they take the piss. it really is time for change

There is nothing wrong with wanting to be around people that are like you culturally and physically.
As gaf fav Muhammad Ali said, "Red birds fly with red birds, blue birds fly with blue birds, etc etc."
It just goes back to the notion that Diversity + Proximity = Violence. That's why countries like South Korea and Japan have such low violence.

Exactly. Nobody fought and died for the right of shit tier brown people to invade their countries
