Doing the rounds on social mediaIs sad.
Interviewer: So Sir Bobby how do you thing the team of 66 would have got on against Iceland?
Sir Bobby Charlton: well I think we would have won 1 - 0
Interviewer: Amazing
Sir Bobby Charlton: Well most of us are in our 70's now......
We are in for a few years of discontent, as the reality dawns on some of those that voted out that:
1. The place will still be full of low-paid immigrants, otherwise a lot of farm produce will be left rotting in the ground because the locals won't dig it out for the money.
2. We won't be giving an extra £350m per week to the NHS
3. We won't be zero-rating VAT on fuel
4. We won't be reopening coal fired power stations or scrapping wind farms
5. We won't be rebuilding our fishing industry because there's not enough fish for 'em all to catch
6. Whitehall actually likes most EU regulations and will be fighting hard to keep it if anybody tries to get rid of it.
And so on...

Under 30s that have grown up around the EU and the notion of the single market have their liberties stripped away. Shame we werent able to keep going another 30-40 years so all of the people leading the EU had also grown up with it.
Ah well, they'll just have to settle for being British instead.jamoor said:

Like the liberties and employment rights that are in the process of being stripped away right now.
In France. In the E.U.

Geez, with that attitude can I suggest:1. The place will still be full of low-paid immigrants, otherwise a lot of farm produce will be left rotting in the ground because the locals won't dig it out for the money.

Don't panic we can still look forward to the Wurzels and Zider up the road next month 1. The place will still be full of low-paid immigrants, otherwise a lot of farm produce will be left rotting in the ground because the locals won't dig it out for the money.

Yes I bet ardent Communists said something similar when the Hungarians rose up in '56, the Czechoslovakians in '68 and the Poles in '81. Never mind those bloody East German ingrates in '89.don'tbesilly said:
