All their comments in this post against Brexit, contain the mistake that they are not seeing. Youth is really wasted on the young:

In another report, they say that they see themselves as Europeans first, Britons second & Londoners last.
The fact they see themselves as Europeans first, is already a mistake. No pride in the worth of their own British country. As if they will die without being in the EU. Have pride for heaven's sake. Why can't you have pride? Because the country is overrun by immigrants?
Those who didn't experience the past, can't say that the elders are longing for "a past that never existed". That is selfish thinking. Narrow-minded. Shallow. Too much iphone.
Rebecca, tweeting at @ReallyRew said: "Our country's fate has been decided by people longing for a past that never existed and they've created a future that's bleak".She means, it never existed for her. Her mind is small & narrow with no knowledge or experience of a past to compare her current life with. A future that's bleak? The future is not yet for her to see. Or rather, how can she possibly see the future with such a small, selfish mind as hers?
A united people is a country's strength.
Look at how shallow young Britons are. They even say that they are leaving their country just because Britain has left the EU. No pride. Only selfishness.
If you have no pride in your own country, nobody will respect you or your country.
They never think that they can still make something good out of this. They don't see it as an opportunity to make things better. Instead they see it as a disaster because they are spoilt. They can't fight. They want things easy. Lazy.
This is the tragedy of the younger British generation.
They don't think, why the elders want a past? Because it must have been better & stronger.
Why don't they think that with their own hands, they can make their country a better & stronger place without the EU?
Young people vented their anger on Saturday against more eurosceptic older voters as they came to terms with a momentous referendum to pull Britain out of the EU, with the hashtag #NotInMyName trending on Twitter.
"I feel angry. Those who voted leave, they're not going to fight the future," said Mary Treinen, 23, a technological consultant who lives in London's trendy Shoreditch district.
A 12,000-strong survey of referendum voters published by pollster Michael Ashcroft found that 73 percent of 18-24-year-olds and 62 percent of 25-34-year-olds had voted "Remain", while 60 percent of people aged over 65 had voted "Leave".
Within hours of the results, there was a small demonstration outside Downing Street.
Richie Xavier, a 21-year-old barman, said: "I don't feel it is right for the old people to speak for us. Not to be insensitive, but we have a lot longer to go than they do. So I do feel a little bit robbed of my future."
Paddy Baker, 21, agreed saying: "Older people voted for this -- but we are the ones who are going to feel the ramifications."
At a meeting of the opposition Labour Party in central London on Saturday, many also voiced concern about the generational fault-line exposed by the vote, between those who cannot remember a Britain without the European Union and those who can.
"The young people that voted overwhelmingly to remain must not be short-changed," Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn told the audience.
Terence Smith, at 19 Britain's youngest mayor, said he had voted "Remain".
"I'm still coming to terms with what we are facing," said Smith, mayor of Goole in Yorkshire, northern England.
He said there was "a terrible generational divide that we must seek to overcome".- 'I'm out of this country' -
Many young people took to social media to vent their frustration after the shock result from Thursday's vote, in which "Leave" won by 52 percent to 48 percent.
"This vote doesn't represent the younger generation who will have to live with the consequences," Luke Tansley wrote on Twitter under the handle @rams_luke.
Eleanor on @PrettiestStar_ wrote: "I refuse to hide my anger, fear and sadness at a decision that will change my future to one I never wanted".
Rebecca, tweeting at @ReallyRew said: "Our country's fate has been decided by people longing for a past that never existed and they've created a future that's bleak".
Matthew van der Merwe wrote to the Financial Times newspaper describing how his great-grandparents fled violent nationalism in Europe in the 1930s for South Africa and how his parents fled apartheid.
"My brothers and I were the first in four generations to be born into an open, liberal democracy, and in a world that had moved towards co-operation," the Cambridge University student said.
"On Thursday we moved backwards, and it's not clear quite how far. A great deal of the optimism I shared with most of my generation in this country, is gone," he said.
An anonymous young letter writer in the FT also complained about the vote, raising the burden of paying to bail out banks and fund pensions for older people.
"What do we get in return? We lose the right of freedom to move, study, work, live and be treated as equals in any European country."
The letter concluded: "As soon as I've finished my studies I'm out of this country".
Look at the reasons why the so-called "older" British want back their country: It used to be vibrant but the EU destroyed it all. https://sg.news.yahoo.com/english-town-voted-brexit-love-040144126.html
What happened is that the EU ran over Britain.
"When self-esteem is stripped away, there is anger."
"I voted Leave on the principle that the Prime Minister David Cameron promised us that he wasn't going to let more than 100,000 immigrants into this country," he said.
Well, sir, it's also all wrong in Singapore, but bloody Hell, nobody in Singapore seems to see it that way. Hats off to you, sir, for your pride in your country. At least you have the choice to vote out."A lot of the people coming in are from poorer nations and willing to work for less money. I think that's all wrong.
