As I said earlier, there were pro's and con's to life as it was to life as it is. Using the simplest comparisons we do live longer, we generally enjoy better health, we have access to things much earlier in life, we holiday more regularly than ever and we travel further often to areas that were once only visited by naturalists, academics and explorers. Look at the way our eating habits have changed, Fish and Chip shops were the staple and visited once or twice a month, now between Indian, Thai, Chinese, Italian, KFC, You name we have it and we use them more and more.
If anything, we take much more for granted and are less willing to accept compromise than we used to be. We are certainly more opinionated and whilst we scoff when challenged that is largely down to the media we choose to read, watch or listen to and of course the way we were raised. I believe people are far more selfish with a me me me attitude than ever before and debating is difficult as few are prepared to acknowledge when a good opposing point is made.
So where once Robin Day with his trademark bow tie and Glasses ripped into the odd bent politician putting them on the spot, we would watch and think wow that's got him, now we get Robert Peston up against a coached and mentored Politician quite happy to give the same statement time after time resulting in frustration and disatisfaction with our elected members. We also have the likes of Jeremy Kyle making a living out of the misfortune of our feral community, worth watching to demonstrate just how far society has developed and how much freedom of choice affects the young and their offspring.
But what does any of this have to do with Brexit? There are many good things I remember not least the large open spaces and abundance of wildlife, wherever I go now I see more housing going up, much needed apparently, more than anything else Immigration on the scale wehave had to endure is the thing that tipped the balance and as yet no one on here has responded to the problem of our own disenfranchised young people and why so many demand so much but don't expect to give anything in return.
