“Devon business leaders have urged Brexit-supporting pensioners to cancel their retirement and help Britain’s post EU economy.
The Devon and Cornwall Business Council (DCBC) has called on the over 65s – 60% of whom are thought to have voted to leave the EU – to “bear responsibility” for the outcome.
Retired Brexiters in the region have reacted with anger to suggestions that they should go back to work, insisting many have contributed since they were teenagers.
However, Steve Crowther, the Devon-based chairman of UKIP, said the age group had much to offer the “bright economic future” many hope will arrive.
Steve Crowther said the wisdom and experience of the older generation was required. …
… Mr Jones [DCBC chair, LEP member, nuclear-involved nd multi-company director] said elderly “contributions could be big or small” and suggested the elderly might start a new business.
“Huge benefits could come from just half a day a week helping with a local school or community project,” he added.
“Greater responsibility for personal health and wellbeing could make massive differences to our over stretched health service. Using the accumulated wisdom gathered over many years could be valuable in mentoring local start-up businesses.
“The challenge has been made and is it now up to everyone to respond.”
Owl is thinking that its parents should get off their fluffy bottoms and start a business counselling elderly people forced to go back to work for England!

Personally I think that’s a great idea.
Unfortunately, I won’t be joining them as I voted remain!

True. Perhaps all those who voted Brexit should get a job! Lol! Although normally I’m sympathetic to those unable to work, I am much less sympathetic to those who voted Brexit. At least now there will be plenty of jobs picking strawberries – if the farms survive of course.
