OUT WITH A DEAL EATING OUR CAKE AND LOVING IT suck it up remoaners
And like a typical anti democracy remoaner he decided the will of the people should be ignored the minute the democratic result was in total fecking hypocrite 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Despite it being voted in to law by the commons the spineless two faced remoaner MPs have totally abandoned any morals and decided to ignore the will of the British people.
It will be remembered and no election or referendum will ever be the same again in this country.
The one thing that will come is a massive surge in the popularity of UKIP or a similar party in the future who stand for the 52%.
Happy Days.

Yeah, I know what it means!
I’m just unsure that pro European and pro EU are discrete. One is rather a subset of the other, in that I can’t see how a person could be pro EU without being pro European (the reverse is not true).
Anyway - all rather besides the point.
I can, quite easily. I’ve noticed no discernible shortage of materialists of both the Left and Right who view the EU as an ideal vehicle to advance their ideas. They couldn’t care less about the distinctive traditions that make Europe ‘European’ at all.
An idea isn't responsible for those who believe in it.

There are still many in South Wales, particularly Swansea, who can all too vividly remember the nights of the sirens sounding and the devastation that followed and will doubtless be delighted that the Brexit party (the word party used in the loosest possible sense as they’re not) think it’s fantastic to use those sirens at a rally to bring back all those ‘wonderful memories’ of the war.
Are you sure it wasn't the "all clear " they were sounding , As in clear out the old , in with the new ? Did you know 383000 people have left London so far this year to live elsewhere .You must be having a wonderful affect on the locals 😉

The all clear is different so yes, I am sure.
They were playing the Gents Carter air raid siren.
Because they are trying to invoke a feeling of being at war with the EU. As it’s the sort of nonsense that tends to appeal to their supporters.
As for the rest. I’m sorry, I have no idea who you are, so i’ll assume you are being ‘funny’ rather than rude to someone you don’t know. It’s ‘effect’ by the way.

They did a survey recently. The generation that actually fought (the 90 year old plus generation now I guess) were far more pro EU than their children’s generation (65 year olds).
Largely because the generation that actually lived through the war don’t tend to regard it as a terrific time.
All the nonagenarians up my grans care home are always rabbiting on about the EU, they can’t get enough of it. One of them got so excited at the prospect of a European army her teeth fell out into her porridge.
The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

Interesting and thought-provoking analysis. The bit that caught my eye the most though was this (unsurprising but significant nevertheless):
"In fact, the size of this generational effect between the war and post-war generations is approximately equivalent to the same change in attitude that would be expected from a two-year reduction in education levels, a factor well known to increase Euroscepticism."

Except that most of the war generation would have left school at fourteen.

The "two-year reduction in education levels" bit refers to the the population as a whole, not just the war generation, so I'm not sure what your point is.

It isn' t effect by the way , It's affect as in you're affecting (verb) the population and producing an effect (noun).

You said :

For the reasons you’ve just stated, it’s ‘effect’.
I’m not in the habit of correcting language by the way (I leave that to my friend Warwick), but given you were being gratuitously rude, I thought I would.

It was a description of the scale of attitudinal shift not an attempt to link it in any way?
”Specifically, when defining a ‘war generation’ that experienced the majority of their formative period during the Second World War, as well as a number of other more recent generations, this war generation is revealed as displaying significantly more positive views towards European integration than the immediate post-war generations. In fact, the size of this generational effect between the war and post-war generations is approximately equivalent to the same change in attitude that would be expected from a two-year reduction in education levels, a factor well known to increase Euroscepticism.”
It makes little sense to me, Lis.

I’m not sure what the point is? On the one hand he seems to be saying that an extended education lends itself to a pro-European position while on the other he appears to say that those most in favour of European integration are those who left school earlier?

Sorry you're wrong, look it up if you don't believe me. You must be having a wonderful affect means actions (verb ) your actions produce the effect (noun). There was no intent to cause offence that's why I put the emoji in.It was meant as a joke.

Leaving the grammar aside, I can’t see any emoji as I’m on the phone and it’s too old to show them (I really must upgrade - I just can’t face an afternoon in carphone warehouse).
If it was a joke, that’s fine. No problems.

Pseudo science to say those who voted Leave are thick...

Is it really that hard to understand? Basically there are a multiplicity of explanatory factors that explain the Brexit vote, one of which is the educational attainment thing and another is the generational thing, working independently of each other.
Not pseudo-science, rather a lack of understanding on the part of some, it appears, of the way statistical analysis works.
