But the point of the referendum was to find out the strength of support for leaving.....we've been members since 1973, remember.

Sorry, but I definitely believe that the Tory Party today is more right wing than Thatcher's crew......Just look at their austerity measures and changes to welfare and pensions. With the LABOUR Party....the name is on the tin...we now have someone who, as the founding fathers of the movement...

I think you meant to say the right has moved so far to the right that it would make Thatcher look left wing. Not just here, but globally. The drift to nationalism and populist movements is quite frightening. To hear right wingers in the Tory Party accuse Labour of being Marxist is quite amusing.

Well done.....you ought to know better, then. You still have to resort to insults when losing an argument, don't you?

Quite right...go with the 70% majority who did not vote to leave......that would be democratic.

What on earth are you talking about, oh wise one?

Oh, she was such a sport, wasn't she? I think there are more nefarious reasons in Corbyn's case, though, although I would say that the targeting of Thatcher was in equal bad taste.

Governments since 1973 have failed to inform the electorate about the significance of the EU ....hardly does it get a mention in the school curriculum. It used to be on an ALevel Economics paper which I used to teach, but it was taken off about 10 years ago. Hence people.....generally...have not...

About 30% voted to leave.....not enough imo to justify such a huge decision being made, especially since most people didn't know what they were voting for. Having another referendum now would yield a more reliable result.....either way.

No, the majority was the 70% who did not vote to leave.

Fact is...most people didn't know what they were voting for.....fact! How can that be democratic?

Ok, if you accept that figure you must accept that only about 30% of the UK electorate voted to leave the EU.

Absolutely disgusting behaviour. They should be thrown out for showing such disrespect. Imagine the outcry if it had been May, Johnson or even Rees-Mogg.

18%??? lies, damn lies and statistics!

You must be on a wind up...right?

You don't read carefully enough, Moonay. My post clearly says 'very often', not always. There is definitely a nastiness about some of the behaviour and comments of many anti EU people, which I don't think is reciprocated by typical remain voters. Some of this is fuelled by a kind of...

. I've come to the conclusion that this debate is all about good (remain) versus evil (leave). So-called brexiteers are very often angry and nasty xenophobes. End of story.

Hopefully, we'll soon see the end of brexit, and become a part of a successful EU in the future. Germany bankrupt!...you're having a laugh. Johnny, get your facts right....mind you, that's not a strength of the leave brigade, is it........telling the truth, I mean!

At least we'll still exist! Total disgrace that this has been allowed to happen to a famous club like Bolton. I'm pretty sure that a number of other EFL clubs are teetering on the brink. No trickle down of TV money and other revenues. We've sold our soul to the faceless money men.

How many swallows did you have, Hampton?
