Brexit or Britin

[BWFC_Insane]

Now that the eurosceptics have won, Britain’s bitter divisions seem unbridgeable. While older, less educated, suburban and rural English and Welsh voters supported Brexit, young, better educated, and urban voters backed remaining in the EU

Now there you go, just about sums up the snobbery of the remain camp!

since when did "better-educated" / "young" and/or "urban" mean the same as "snob" ???

Snob is definitely the wrong word. Self-regarding is far more appropriate, as is arrogant, or indeed biased. Or how about "wrong"?

How is it wrong?

Remember Robert Peston? That kind of wrong.

I note that you didn't query self-regarding, arrogant or biased.

Robert Peston? Have you really seen him? Wrong on so many levels and also with an affectation which makes the average persons toes curl.
So, that sort of wrong? As far as comparisons with Remains are concerned, not very flattering eh LK?

I meant the Robert Peston who caused the collapse of Northern Rock. Never mind.

Yes, never mind. Kurt Cobain fan?

I could cut and paste it for you, but I don't want to upset hoboh.

Go on. Do it. I won't bother to read it unless you are talking of the lyrics from Heart-shaped Box.
Anyway, this Bob Preston.......

[Lord Kangana]

I suspect this conversation is beginning to make about as much sense as Brexit to most people reading it.

The good news is, Peston can report people not being able to get money out of M&G, Aviva and Standard Life, because they won't let them - no chance of a run on those funds then...

Well they are more opinions. And I'd not necessarily disagree with some to an extent.

But why is it wrong? The voting patterns are fairly well established.

what the toss are you on about BWFCi???

it is plainly wrong to assume that "educated" / "young" and/or "urban" people are snobbish.

If we're getting back to good old British values, it is important to identify those that need to be under-stairs.

Quite.

Never mind that, I can think of some who need to be under the patio.

Eh? He said the analysis was wrong. I was asking in what way it was wrong in suggesting that more elderly/northern suburban etc people voted leave...that is all....

Did I? I'm a little tinker, innit.

Although a little empirical evidence from sources other than the fevered imagination of Grauniad journalists would not go amiss.
Assumptions appear to have been made based upon some very dodgy extrapolation.
Anecdotal I know, but all of my contacts, whether in their twenties or sixties and all ages in between voted leave without exception. Many are of generally sound mind, professionals and entreprenuers, university educated. I don't recognise the supposed profile of the leave voters.

nahh - I think you've misread it. he said that "snob" was the wrong word - then suggested alternatives to assuming they are snobs (one of which was "wrong", another was "self-regarding"...)

I doubt either side had a monopoly on wrongness, snobbery or self-regard...

"He???"
How very dare you.
Although I've got no doubt that you, Your Bishness, have your finger on the pulse. And I know that secretly you agree with me albeit it is a love that dare not speak it's name.

Typical intolerant Marxist/Leninist response.
