60% of over 65s voted for Brexit (whatever they may have thought they were voting for, it's not what has been delivered, since no one voted for the details, only the vague soundbites). (https://www.statista.com/statistics/...-votes-by-age/ )
It's a demonstration that youth brings enthusiasm while age brings wisdom.
Come back in 20 years and see how much your own immature attitudes have changed.
Youth fought in 2 world wars.
You didn't.
Age is no guarantee of wisdom, as you are self evident.
I hope my "immature attitudes" don't change much - trying to work with, not against others, treating people fairly, not pre-judging them based on their nationality, religion, skin colour, ability, etc, but based on who they as an individual, and trying to learn from history, rather than re-write it to suit.
But if we must go down your route of "send them home", let's start with the Normans and the Saxons.

But you're quite happy to categorise a whole swathe of the UK as antique has-beens with no brains to think for themselves. OK...
And where did I say "send them home". I have no problem with controlled immigration of people who will benefit the country. Albanian criminals, not so much.
But I will apologise for being born too late to qualify for National Service. However, I know (or perhaps knew is a better word these days) a lot of people who did and who did fight in WW1, WW2, Korea, Malaya and a few other places you won't have heard of.

I know (or perhaps knew) of a lot of people who fought as young men during various wars. I don't know of many people who were my current age or older when they first went into battle, but perhaps you'll prove me wrong. I'm sure you know of countless wars that I won't have heard of.
In the last 50 years of my life, I've lost too many friends in wars, but I'm just an immature youth who doesn't have a clue, in your wizened old mind.
