Totally agree with your point that younger Brits don’t care if UK uses GBP or Euros… 99.99% of Brits only consider the difference between GBP and EUR to be the imagery on coins & notes…. As majority of young Brits use payment apps, they don’t even remember what GBP banknotes/coins look like:

Save yourselves £25 and an entire day of your lives… simply watch this 59-second Sky News report for a comprehensive summary of the upcoming event:

I see your point, but—I feel—boomers were huge Brexit contributor They were a generation force-fed a toxic diet of “We Won the War!” and “The Sun Never Set on the British Empire!” and “Up Yours Delors!” (Even though all Boomers too young to fight in WW2 and the Empire died before they were born)…

No one under 60 years old uses cash—they all use their phones to pay/receive money. They probably wouldn’t recognise a banknote if they saw one, and couldn’t care less who or what is pictured on them.

No one under 60 uses cash anymore—they all pay with their phones and probably wouldn’t recognise a coin or banknote, much less care who or what is pictured on them

Younger Brits see the British Empire as being built on slavery and happily chuck statues of British colonialists into the river. Younger Brits pay with phone apps and never use cash to see the King or Winston Churchill on their money—they don’t care if their phone is sending/receiving GBP or Euros…

Brexiters assume the risk of losing GBP to Euro will prevent Brits from rejoining EU Yet young Brits today never touch cash to see British Queen/King on coins & notes… They pay with apps on their phones and don’t care if phones send/receive pounds or euros. They’ll happily dump GBP to rejoin EU

And UK exports continue to plummet in global rankings… in large part due to Mr Hanna’s godawful Brexit crashing UK business investment. Who wants to buy crap from UK made with outdated British technology & systems which EU businesses replaced years ago…

Ms Carpenter clearly wrote a song about Starmer/McSweeny… “…fuck my life” 🤣🤣🤣

“You’ve a look of Eva Braun…” 🤣🤣🤣 (per the wonderful Victoria Wood & Julie Walters)

Spot on Keir “I’m-ready-for-my-close-up” Starmer willingly chases the global spotlight as a Prime Minister… but is clearly wholly uninterested in standing-up for the values and aspirations of the 10 million people across Britain who voted Labour just a year ago and put him into No 10…

I found a wonderful clip of the Prime Minister preferring to appease the far-right rather than show the moral leadership that the 10 million Brits who voted for him desperately need after a decade of watching the Tories slide into neofascism…

Starmer discarded his morality - and the morality of the 10 million Brits who voted for him in 2024 - simply to appease a few far-right voters. Appeasing the far-right never works. Watching PM Starmer over past 12 months is like watching those old Pathe clips of PM Chamberlain…

1975: CBS aired Cher and her guests (Tina Turner) at 8pm every SUNDAY evening into every American home…

Superb - thank you. You & @dorianlynskey.bsky.social @originstorypodcast.bsky.social will know…. Does recent history show us the far right can be defeated?… Just 2 decades apart: Hugely popular evening prime-time US national network tv… 1954: McCarthy using ‘patriotism’ to terrorise liberals…

They’ve invented household laser-machines the size of a postcard that zap mosquitoes in your garden… Can’t Europeans apply same technologies to detect and destroy swarms of cheap Russian drones?

1975: Tina Turner & Cher

Glad to hear! Your words yesterday really resonated Recent history gives us some hope: Only 2 decades apart… Most popular US prime-time national network TV (before internet - when all US families watched evening TV together) 1954: McCarthy terrorising progressives…

Many Brexit voters thought Brexit was going to end immigration from Asia and Africa…
