Dear Brexiters,
The young people of the United Kingdom have a few words to say about Brexit Britain.
Starting with @Femi_Sorry.

Charlie from Doncaster is one of the 73% of 18-24 year-olds who voted to Remain in the EU.
She represents the adult demographic of the UK that would be most affected by Brexit.
#OFOC @turtle_in_a_fez
The 'Young' includes Brits in their 40s, 52% of whom voted for their country to remain in the EU. These are people who will have to raise their children in a version of the UK that they voted to avoid.

Cutting Freedom of Movement.... cuts both ways.
It removes the rights and opportunities that previous UK generations have enjoyed.
#OFOC @JamesHarrisNow
This 28-year-old Brit voted Remain because she feels that the elected MPs, who we trust to make our laws, are the ones qualified to decide whether EU Law has a positive or negative effect on our lives.
#OFOC @CarlyTeeg
The vast majority of the country (Leavers and Remainers) did not study EU Law.
So when our law-makers are telling us different stories, the only thing you can be sure of, is that you can't be sure. So this Brit made a simple decision.
#OFOC @L33_HAW
Brexit was 51.9-48.1. We know the youth voted against it, so by the time Brexit is completed, we'll be a Remain country. Democracy is our right to decide our future. Brexit removes that right.
#OFOC @TolaOnasanya
Human Rights laws are historically there to protect citizens from cruel or unfair actions by their governments. That's why it's important to have protections at the international level.

Typical Remoaner:
▪️Admitting he was ill-informed at the time of the referendum
▪️Lives in the North-East

Geography Lesson: Being European doesn't mean you're not British.
Why? Continent > Country.
The younger generations grew up as both British AND European, geographically and politically. It's who we are. Please don't strip us of our identity.
We want to live in a Britain with the closest of ties to the rest of Europe. That's the geopolitical environment we want to inherit.
Not a trade war fuelled by Euro-scepticism and Imperial superiority.
#OFOC
Irony: A Brexit vote fuelled by nostalgia for our imperial conquering days, that ends up closing the door on those Brits with the skills to represent our country abroad.
#OFOC @teddyogden
Every single voter in the UK has studied Economics and EU Law for years, so we can all be 100% certain that Brexit won't make life harder for our sons and daughters.
Right? Right?!!
#OFOC @notoliverbutler
We love our elders. You're our parents and our grandparents.
And we know you love us too, which is why we're asking you to respect our wishes for our future.
#OFOC
It is our right to decide our own future, and (as long as our children are still children)... Parents should get to decide what sort of country they raise their children in.
#OFOC @J_swallow_ld
"Babe?... This long-distance thing is going well, and I know we haven't tried living together, but I'm going to need you to move to the UK before March 2019, because otherwise we'll have to jump straight to marriage.... Happy Valentines Day!" #ThanksBrexit
#OFOC @nottomtomgo
Most Brexit voters have had the right to live and work anywhere in Europe, for their entire lives. Many of them have families that simply wouldn't exist if they hadn't exercised those rights *cough-Farage*.
They are now choosing to take those rights from us.
