The stereotype of older people being very right wing and pro-Brexit may well be partly true... but please be aware that MANY of us #Over60-s are #ProEU and want to #RejoinEU and #GTTO (or #GTFTO)
@stevechampion made me sock to the pit of my stomach when Truss/Sunak were in fighting. Average Tory member 57, white, male living in SE England. I hit 3 but East Midlands. Thankfully I could never give them my support
@stevechampion Here! Here! If anything getting older (now 72) has made me more left wing, reinforced by the last 12 years of the Tory disaster.
Exactly - it's awful to see our country regressing and being taken over by fascists.
@stevechampion ☝️this, this and this again. The #Brexit voters I (used to) know are all much younger than me.
@stevechampion 73. Here and hate people stating that they know how I vote and support. Lib Dem since reaching 71 and voted remain in BOTH referenda. Many of those who voted Remain in first one are the pensioners. How about best out of three referenda
@stevechampion that’s me Steve, I’ve actually become more left wing as I’ve got older. I was a Tory🙀 #GTFTO
@weaniejeanie53 @stevechampion same. My children still have trouble processing that. We go against the grain, apparently. Something I'm actually quite proud of, oddly.

@weaniejeanie53 @stevechampion that’s my experience too.

I was brought up in Tory home, my first vote at 18 was Tory. Went out to work, reality hit, been a lefty ever since!

@stevechampion my 91 year old Dad and 89 year old Mum are staunch remainers and Labour Party members they’re embarrassed by a lot of their friends who have slid to the right, thankfully they have stayed both kind and empathic with their political views
@stevechampion
I remembered what it was like before we asked to join the EU and the benefits we enjoyed afterwards
I couldn't understand why anyone from my age group would want to go back to the bad old days
They have denied our younger generation so much
I lost friends who thought I was scaremongering
@stevechampion exactly. Still worn out from arguing passionately for Remain and the accompanying abuse on social media 😒
@stevechampion Most definitely, one of the worst things people do is generalise.
@stevechampion I’m not 60 yet but definitely getting more left wing as I get older.
@stevechampion Yes!! unfortunately some polls say we are about a 10%
@stevechampion many of that demographic marched against in their millions
@stevechampion 64 and definitely not Right Wing!! I want a decent world for my grandchildren, preferably one where we #RejoinEU and also have decent public services #nhs #MentalHeath #lawandorder #GTTO #GeneralElection
@stevechampion I’m the Hastings Battleaxe. 73, old, grumpy, judgy and also left-wing, woke and anti-Brexit.
@stevechampion
Or in my case, a sixty something woman who remembers watching the war on the six o’clock news, hearing about Kent State’s students in school, and grew up never trusting anyone over 30.
We are not all the same.
@stevechampion and some os ushave been labour since the 60s
@stevechampion 63 and getting more lefty, pro EU, mum and dad 90&91 old school Labour pro EU. Soon no one will admit to being a brexity fool.
@nather1959
Ha! We need to have a Brexity Fool amnesty, just like when they collect knives or guns. If they own up, we promise we will not keep saying "I told you so"!
