There seems little doubt that people drift to the right politically as they age - personally I do not think this will happen with opinions about Brexit - but - again - I would say that wouldn't I!

I do like this quote from Wiki about Kurt Schumacher - I do realise that once you mention the Nazis you have lost the argument, but it is too good to leave out:

Kurt Schumacher was staunchly anti-Nazi. In a Reichstag speech on 23 February 1932, he excoriated Nazism as "a continuous appeal to the inner swine in human beings" and stated the movement had been uniquely successful in "ceaselessly mobilizing human stupidity."

I think the tabloids are successfully mobilising human stupidity - it applies even more to the USA than here.
