IN the midst of the all the hullabaloo around “getting our country back”, a single, sad, sobering statistic speaks volumes.
It is heartbreaking. In the voting age profile breakdown, those aged under 44 voted overwhelmingly to stay. They are the generation who were born as Europeans, grew up as Europeans, were proud to be Europeans and wanted to remain Europeans.
We, the elderly, in voting to regain our own perceived identities, have deprived two generations of theirs - for ever. What a legacy. Let’s hope they can forgive us.
