Post-Brexit disenchantment is growing among a younger generation who awoke feeling stripped of opportunities enjoyed by those who voted to leave the European Union. The feeling of disillusionment was summarised by Ricky Gervais. The comedian suggested that while Brexit may have triggered the Prime Minister’s resignation, saw the value of the pound plummet against the dollar, prompted talks of a second Scottish referendum and sparked numerous think pieces about what happens next, it won’t actually make a difference. ‘I know the young people of Britain have lost hope and feel let down,’ he joked. ‘But relax. The reintroduction of National Service will sort you out. I can’t believe it took a referendum for Britain’s youth to find out that old people hate them.’
