Not a snowflake in sight.
I never called them snowflakes or say that they swear.
I said they sound dreadful.
well, sorry, but they are wonderful and very caring and intelligent. Just despair that their parents have voted to strip them of their rights, of their livelyhoods and future, and their security, and that of their children- those people's grandchildren. And just cannot bear the lack of awareness of such, lack of contrition and how the fear, distrust and even worse, of foreigners and everything foreign, is tainting and guiding their views.
Many who already live abroad and are now not sure what will happen next- and those who were planning to travel and now find that they can no longer- and that their parents are to blame.
They are upset, and no wonder.
What has this to do with octogenarians’ vaccination preferences?
Oh of course, it’s Brexit again -duh!
As for your quoted and how the fear, distrust and even worse, of foreigners and everything foreign, is tainting and guiding their views I have never read such tosh - insulting of everybody in the U.K. (but as you are British, presumably you exclude yourself )
It is a known fact that gleaning one’s information solely from the internet tends to reinforce prejudices, and my goodness this is completely borne out by what you describe which is totally at variance with what I and I expect most of us are seeing and experiencing in the U.K. today
I don’t expect you will accept first hand experience, though, preferring to give credence to your young friends that is, in their more sober moments.
Get real.
