Looks like they've finally realized that "people R 2 DUMB 2 Vote" isn't a winning argument, and have tried to make it more palatable with "old people should be ignored since they're going to die soon anyway...."
Either way, the hypocrisy shows through plainly.
The first old person to say "These youngsters shouldn't be given the vote, why should I let them just casually destroy something I spent my whole life building?" would be run off the internet on a metaphorical rail, but turn it around, and it's progressive....
And let this be a lesson to the SJW crowd, when your preferred method of trying to control politics is to knee-jerk label any and all dissent as racism, sexism and mental retardation, don't be surprised if those labels eventually lose their bite and people will vote for whatever they wanted in the first place because they realize they're going to get called names by you no matter what they do.
Pretty much this. The last time the UK voted it was about joining a tarriff and customs union and as it steadily morphed people got more and more pissed off. TBH the youngsters who did not vote Leave and are behaving like this can sod off behaving like this because their side didn't win. If this is how they're going to behave every single election (while pretending to be some form of learned men/women) then I really do hope they become lapsed voters and just stay the hell away from the proles and leave our democracy alone.
Jokes on them, pensioners generally don't even use the Internet and actually vote instead of signing online petitions.
Oh, they use the net alright. They use Facebook instead where the only thing trending was the UKIP/Leave campaign #Bringapen all day. Facebook is actually more influential in the UK for gauging political opinion, when I spotted that I knew Leave was very likely to win.
Interestingly though, #IvotedLeave stormed far
far ahead on Twitter with something like 8 times the tweets. As it did slowly get infested by trolls and whiney assholes
So....what did they do to try and persuade us to stay?
Let's see:
WW3 would happen
Genocide
We'd be as isolated as North Korea
Pensions would collapse utterly and completely so all old people would die off.
Foreign footballers wouldn't be able to come. (Considering Leicester's star players are english born and bred we can see how that would pan out...)
The "punishment budget" in which Osborne refused to keep doing what he's been doing (borrowing at a reasonable rate) and instead raise
all taxes on everyone and then violate at least five manifesto pledges, namely cut defence, health and education which were protected and get rid of the "Triple lock guarantee" on state pensions (rising by inflation, CPI or 2.5% whichever was highest)
Trump just held a press conference praising the results. That's a pretty damn big hint that it's a very, very bad idea.
Obama also came over and threatened us when he wasn't going to be president when it all becomes relevant.
You seem to hold a
lot of stock in anyone not your own kith and kin.
EDIT: There's also a great image floating around that showed the EU commission all being achingly white while we had turned our back on the Commonwealth. (The majority of whom are "PoC countries")
The UK wants to rengage with the Commonwealth very quickly and is likely to do so even before Article 50 negotiations begin.
