Sigh and double sigh.

Not content with taking us into an undemocratic referendum when we are all asked to vote on something where no-one could have a clear picture of the options, the conservatives now have a leader who stands and loudly slags off those with whom we need to negotiate for the secure future of the country. All thoroughly irresponsible - it just makes me want to despair.

Devoted worshippers? Brutus? You clearly don't like a smart woman then dahnedill. She's pretty cool from where I'm sitting for now.

18-25 year olds still have a vote, if they have signed up to it.
That's all the poster is suggesting they do.
My 18-25 year old grandchildren are very politically aware, more so than a lot of grown ups I know.

I would hope that all over 25s are telling the younger ones to go and vote as its their future that the over 65s are throwing away.

"... its their future that the over 65s are throwing away"
durhamjen - you've made my point for me - another divisive comment - setting the young against the old. Sad & bitter.

My mother always used to say that when a female politician starts to wobble on her perch, the men will turn on her with far more venom than if she had been a man. Her prediction proved correct. We certainly saw it with Thatcher and Edwina C.

I thought your section of the poem was very apt DD - describes Brexit very well really.!
