Young people only have themselves to blame over EU vote
REGARDING the EU referendum, are there any statistics showing the percentage of 18 to 25-year-olds that actually voted?
I don’t mean whether they voted ‘Remain’ or ‘Leave’, but whether the percentage that managed to tear themselves away from their smartphones and tablets and get down the polling station.
A lot less, I bet, than the older generation who the youngsters now have the front to blame for the ‘Leave’ result.
They are even trying to arrange a petition on social media to demand, of all things, a second referendum.
Wake up, kiddies, and welcome to the real world. The only people to blame are yourselves.
