So why were the likes of James Dyson campaigning to leave?

Was the decision on the UK's membership of the EU too big/complicated/confusing to be put in the hands of the British public in the first place?

Probably because Dave, Gideon and the rest don't have the faintest idea of how to engage with this age group. Or maybe it's because the Euros are on, Glastonbury had started and it was raining. Alternatively the YouGov figures could be wrong - they did predict a remain win after all.

I think that was a White House spokesman.

This. Instead of claiming that the baby boomers have ruined their future, maybe the 18-40s should be asking why 1 in 4 people didn't take part in the most important vote in their lifetime.

And the age group with the largest population (25-49 - 21,804,300) wanted to remain 56:44. If the exit poll age breakdown stats are correct, then the over 50s decided this because a higher % of their numbers actually voted, not because they had a numerical advantage in the first place.

20-24 was 4,313,200 so a conservative estimate would be 6,000,000. From my 'back of a fag packet' maths, if all age groups had similar % turnouts and followed the same voting patterns as the exit polls then remain should have won. So it stands to reason that most of the non voters were in the younger pro-remain age brackets (assuming I haven't ballsed up the sums or misinterpreted the data).

After some rough calculations using the voting stats from the exit polls and population stats from 2014, I suggest that a considerable number of the non voters were in the 18-24 age bracket. Maybe if they had been better engaged with the outcome would/could have been different.

This is what I was wondering.

How?

Or those who have the most experience of living in the EU want to leave...

No it doesn't

Nah, it's jealousy.

Kirk, is that you?

When did Everton fans become so needy? Were they all starved of attention as kids?

Maybe RK tipped him off that the club are cracking down on golf days...

Yep, there should.

So Pellegrini isn't on the shortlist but Moyes is??

Fine by me, will mean we've had another good season!

Saint Charlie...

Is this your new routine?

Instead of Sturridge?
