To be fair, you've posted some bollocks yourself. When I pointed this out, you conveniently ignored it, twice. Generally speaking, the level of debate, from both sides, even now, is absolutely terrible. So much misinformation knocking about on social media, which people share and take as a...

Why? He impressed when he was on loan there and scored goals, as I pointed out when you first made that post. Given that, I'm sure they would have been pleased to sign him permanently.

Bruter and Harrison say the lower and wrong estimate was based on information released by Sky Data which relied on data compiled after last year’s general election, which looked at the proportion within each generation who said they always vote. The new, far higher, figures emerged after...

I didn't know that. Brilliant. I would love it if we did that in this country.

Ah bollocks. Too late to edit as well. Sometimes the brain and fingers are just not aligned.

I did read it. You accused someone else of talking bollocks (when his post was largely correct), and then proceeded to talk bollocks yourself. Did most constituencies outside NI, Scotland and London vote leave? Yes. That it was close in some of those constituencies doesn't alter that. Plus, as...

To be fair, Bloom had a gambling company just like that - Premier Bet which he later sold.

So it's rubbish to say that areas that by a majority voted to leave "voted leave"? Brilliant. Anyway, Giraffe is mostly correct. London, Scotland and NI are the outliers. If you look at the constituency breakdown, there's not much remain outside these areas...

What purpose do sarcastic statements such as this serve? Clearly, most people care about passport colour. You are trying to imply that it's something that leavers care about, a significant benefit to leaving the EU (even though we didn't need to leave the EU to do it) - but in reality, it's not...

I would welcome this.

Very much so.

Arguable indeed. 3m not being able to vote would have been expats living around the world (not just EU). Estimates vary but around 1.2m UK citizens live in the EU (presumably those who you are referring to as most affected). Of these, only those who weren't registered in the UK during the...

You conveniently ignored my previous post when I called you out for saying there was now a massive majority for remain, or at least a vote on the final deal. You then said in another post it was more popular. Now you are saying according to the recent Sky poll, remain has strengthened massively...

You said newly registered voters, and your swing calculations indicated these were people who hadn't voted before. Those who registered to vote aren't necessarily new voters - for example you have to register again if you change address.

Not much reasoned debate from either side before the referendum, and not much now.

I also questioned your 'millions of new voters' (3m) statement as well. My basic calculation gives me around 1.4m, 64% (high end estimate) of which is 900k (although that would obviously increase by the time another referendum came around). If turnout was that high, then of course there's less...

There's also fewer scare tactics for remainers to use as well, such as 'emergency budget' and 'immediate recession'. On the other hand, no buses next time either. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_United_Kingdom_European_Union_membership_referendum#2016

There does seem to be a trend among remainders to view leavers as uneducated regarding Brexit, who are easily misled but those who wish to distort truth to further their agenda - but as far as I can tell it extends to both sides.

Have you just plucked those figures out of thin air? I think deaths per year is closer to around 600k. Not sure about ages of the deaths. One estimate for leave 65+ was 64% (not sure it would go up to 75% for 75+). Turnout is key as you said, but you it is not part of your calculations (18-24...
