I honestly can't tell if the above posts are subversive performance or a terrible attempt at trolling. As for comparing Brexit to 1945, if you honestly think that then you need a few hours in front of the World at War. How can you compare anecdotal, tabloid nonsense about straight bananas to having your house bombed? As for the older, more worldly wise comment. I think some older people still see the UK through a rose tinted prism pre Suez, before the empire was gone, when we still made things etc. There is still a denial from these people that the UK is a sunset economy that has pawned the family silver to try and maintain a shrinking place in the world.
