Dear Brexiters,
The young people of the United Kingdom have a few words to say about Brexit Britain.
Starting with @Femi_Sorry.
#OFOC
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.
#OFOC @siannydee
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.
#OFOC
Typical Remoaner:
▪️Admitting he was ill-informed at the time of the referendum
▪️Lives in the North-East
#OFOC @David_J_Beckett
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.
#OFOC @mbainesy

We know the EU isn't perfect. Out of our 4 co-founders: Will voted Leave and Femi has literally worked for a group called Alter-EU.
But here's why, on balance, being in the EU is better for you.
You need stuff to be as cheap as possible. Well for the UK as a country, the rest of Europe is our local supermarket. It's cheaper and faster for us to get stuff from there. Being in the EU makes it even cheaper and even faster. So your prices stay low.
You have the right to live in any country you like across the EU. So if there aren't jobs in the UK, you can go work in a hotel in France or an office in Austria. No elitist visa system. As long as you find a job in 3months and register, 31 countries are yours to choose from.

Where did the "Good" pro-Brexit information come from?
(Thread)
?
The man who doesn't believe in experts and exaggerated the effect of the EU on his dad's business for political gain?
theguardian.com/politics/2016/…
The Official @Vote_Leave?
Their Campaign Leader, @DanielJHannan, promised we'd be staying in the Single Market.

The politicians and political commentators that YOU trust, have told you that all the bad news you hear about Brexit is just #ProjectFear.
Just imagine for a second that when Brexit actually happens, you find out they were wrong. How will history look at you? How will your kids?
Most people on both sides weren't experts in EU law.
Did you get your information directly from EU Treaties and resulting legislation, or did you trust the articles and opinions of others?
Remainers and Leavers just trusted different sources.
However, Brexit voters, if it actually happens and we start to see the full economic and international effects of Brexit, you're going to have to explain, especially to your kids, why you ignored the warnings from actual experts in the field before voting. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
