Vince Cable said. "Nostalgia for a world where passports were blue, faces were white and the map was coloured imperial pink" had driven some older voters to Brexit. And it was their votes on one wet day in June which crushed the hopes and aspirations of young people for years to come,"

Pretty much called some of the 17.4 million people who voted racists.

I think his sentiment is probably correct but his examples of what they wanted I think is wrong.  How many times have we heard older generations say "It was better back in my day" or "It wasn't like this back in my day", that is what he is essentially referring to.  Those statements are not necessarily racist.

Times change and things move on though. You have to move with the times otherwise you will get left behind.

I would say there are pro's and con's to each generation.

I think today there are too many pressure's especially where social media is concerned as people are trying to paint how wonderful their life is while deep down they are very lonely and insecure. Technology has come on leaps and bounds and is changing all the time and sometimes too quickly and sometimes not for the better.

The passport thing is a false statement because Britain never needed to change the colour of the passport from Blue/Black to red.
