Oh deep joy...

20 pages of why we should have another referendum...

Wonderful.....

Get over it, even Corbyn wants out....

 

[KZNSeagull]

The most pertinent question is who paid CA to do the work? Why was she not asked that?

No we're not allowed to ask question apparently we should all just move on!

Corbyn always wanted out.

Well we should, but my comment was more on the shoddy journalism than anything else. Who paid and which parts of the leave campaign did CA create? We do not know. Bit of a pointless interview really and does not prove anything.

Of course you're allowed to ask the question. Move on from the Brexit vote ? Yes. It happened - get over it. Move on from asking questions about how politics can be influenced by third parties - hell no.

I know that, but so many pro Europe campaigners and students are laying their hat on him, thinking he will be better or would not have done such a dastardly thing as leave Europe....

Aaron Bank's story is not consistent. Its a murky world

Perhaps the issue is the intelligence of people who cannot work out fact from fiction.

I think you are underestimating the power of hopes and fears! Political campaigns like marketing don't want you to think rationally they want you to react emotionally!

On one hand she's very brave to speak out

On the other, did she sell herself out? Voting for Sanders and being a cog in the wheel for Trump, I couldn't do that.

Who ****ing cares? CA aren't the only group doing this, Brexit and Trump aren't the only people who used these companies. CA are the ones that have been caught out.

Really, is there anyone else involved in anything bigger than Brexit and Trump?

He never said there was another Brexit, or another Trump, bigger or not. It is CA that is identified as 'not the only ones', not Trump and Brexit.

My point is that I can guarantee their opponents used the same tactics with different companies to gain advantages. The only difference is that CA got caught and are being rightfully made an example of. Pretending it's only people you dislike that are doing this is dishonest and naive.

Not necessarily true. Both Trump and Brexit were underdog campaigns at the start and therefore were more likely to need underhand tactics (such as hiring CA) to win.

This sort of shite goes on all the time on both sides although you have to remember that the government spent millions of tax payers money on remain leaflets and gave Barack Obama a scripted speech etc bla bla bla.

It's irrelevant now and clearly the remainers just keep on giving with bitterness

 

[JC Footy Genius]

Here we go again...

Lengthy but interesting read from someone at the heart of the official Leave campaign.

Indeed. I don't actually remember anything about the remain campaign, although I heard a lot about the Brexit campaign - you could't get away from all the 'getting our borders back', 'getting our blue passports back', 'getting £350 million quid back' and 'project fear'. I remember all that shit. The remain campaign was pathetically unmemorable by comparison.

So, yes, it will be interested to know who paid this company, a company that apparently has plenty of East European girls handy for use, and will apparently stoop at nothing to manipulate our electorate.

That doesn't mean we should rerun the Brexit vote, though. Let parliament do their job and vote on the deal, when it is set to be signed.....

Unfortunately that won't happen either, because Corbyn and Momentum are in favour of Brexit and are not pushing for a parliamentary vote. Another example of politicians abusing their position to suit their own agenda. Labour, with the right leader, could and should be walking all over this cluster****, but they aren't, and that's what's annoying me most at the moment(um).
