Old Thickos versus Young Educated

[darmstadt]

Old and uneducated Brexit'er quote:

Indeed, a generational divide was evident. Stuart Robertson, chair of Ukip in North Devon (a constituency where 48% say they want to leave), noted that the local newspaper had reported that 80% of students at the college were pro-EU. “That’s very worrying,” he said. “Brainwashed,” a member of the audience shouted. “I believe so,” said Robertson, nodding. A second audience member shouted back: “Educated.” Looking appalled, Robertson muttered: “Says it all.”

Basically polls show, the ABC1, young will vote in, old C2DE will vote out. ...

It's subtle BBC propaganda, insinuating that remainers are hip and trendy and sophisticated, and Brexiters are old fuddy duddies.

Actually it's the opposite: Brexiters are bold and adventurous, while remainers are timid conformists stuck in a 1950s timewarp where megastates were the in thing to strive for, like giant tower blocks.

There is little benefit to working in Europe that I can see. The rates that are offered can be bettered at home and the local tax laws make using your legal UK business a pain in the arse if you want to work in Germany or most of the other European countries.

Perhaps for you, not for me.

Whether he said it or not, it is happening. Would have been easier if Chamberlain had joined Hitler, just as he wanted.

Just because they hand out degrees with cornflakes nowadays doesn't mean the old uns are stupid.

Of course not - only you old uns who are C2DE.

Likewise it should be "It's subtle BBC propaganda, insinuating that remainers are hip and trendy and sophisticated, and Brexiters are old uneducated fuddy duddies."

Me, most my family and friends will be in the ABC1 category - and we are voting out - age range about 28 - 42 in general.

As others have said the muppets who come out with degrees today are often mindless sheeple doing what they have been told by wrote because they could not come up with an original thought.

Too many degrees are now about just regurgitating someone else's stuff - there is little to no scope for actually coming up with new ideas and being an original thinker.

So he never said it, the attribution of the quote is a lie?
