"I'm glad you don't have to listen to Brussels sprout up about how to pulp timber."
Now that's funny!

Old-people hubris won't carry England that far, mc. Scotland and Ireland will go. I can hear the wailing for a morning-after pill from here.

You have to admit, craigd's quote was pretty darn funny.

i think it was primarily a immigration problem, how long would you want to be told to pay the way for someone who hates your country and your history.70% percent of the country voted. it wasn't a single demographic so old persons pride means nothing.King,,, this whole thing will give you days and days of hand wringing and pontificating.

This sums it up. An excerpt from the popular 1980's programme of 'Yes Minister' and 'Yes Prime Minister'. All still relevant today. Lagopus..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37iHSwA1SwE

A toff who never worked a day in his life before his wife got him a job in a Bristol tv station prior politics tried to fix a split in his conservative party and took the country out of the biggest market in the world. Immigration was part of it. A greater influencing factor was Cameron's poor judgement by betting the country to fix a relatively peripheral issue of governance.
As for demographics, a distinguishing characteristic of British is they don't like being told anything by anybody. Those who remembered the days of guns and glory voted to leave. The young (who will pay the consequences), 80 per cent of London and Scotland and Ireland voted overwhelmingly to remain, a generational/regional split if there ever was one.
Pride often goes before a fall.
