It is you, who has made no attempt at using any facts - only a load of claptrap about the war, which I doubt you’re old enough to have personally experienced.
Using the war as an example overlooks several flaws, namely that we didn’t choose to go to war (it was a reaction to the threat from Nazi Germany) and we didn’t win it ourselves - in fact we got our arses handed to us in the events leading up to Dunkirk (due to ill preparedness- sound familiar?) and were weeks away from defeat in the Battle of Britain before Hitler decided to invade Russia. We had to rely on being part of a larger group in order to prevail in the end.
I find it distasteful for Leavers (or Moggluddites, as I call them - you’re welcome) to keep banging on about the war and Churchill.
Although the over 65s are majority Leave supporters, the older people in that group - who lived through the Second World War - are majority Remainers. They view the EU as a political project in part to prevent future European wars, and so a good thing.

The Tory Brexiteers who equate Brexit with fighting Nazi Germany insult that generation with every breath.
