    Yes it's personal, but I have to say this poster that Remain never used is rather brilliant - and I suspect may have kept Britain in Europepic.twitter.com/ZtjA4lpPDH

        I don't see the argument. Turnout shows those to be mobilised by 'don't let Nigel Farage win' did vote; the problem was elsewhere

        What a ridiculous comment and suggests that you think the voting public don't have any braincells to work it out for themselves.

      The fact you think it's "rather brilliant" mad would sway anyone, highlights your lack of critical analysis on both counts.
