The Eu Referendum

[Chris38]

Just came across a phrase (in a different context) which describes with total accuracy the Remain campaigners - "people in the grip of a collective dementia that makes it impossible for them to perceive reality".
The Remainers have been such abusive bad losers that a little retaliation is more than justified.

Now you've started something!

What about those who were convinced the vote would be rigged in favour of remain? Did they have grip on reality?

While the Britex people, or at least a good number of them, seem mired in the grip of nostalgia which makes them think that their out vote will somehow return us to the halcyon days of the 1950s or thereabouts.

[Chris38]

In minor ways, attempts were in fact made to rig the vote in favour of Remain. Policy measures to be introduced by Juncker were postponed and the pathetic outcome of Cameron`s renegotiations (in which he achieved absolutely nothing) was not shown to have resulted in no binding undertakings from the European Commission - something only to be revealed after a Remain vote.
As regards nostalgia and the 1950s, absolutely noone I have come across or read about on the Brexit side was the least bit interested in such things. They did, however, recognise the the EU is intensely bureaucratic, corrupt and undemocratic and that continuing membership would be like being shackled to a corpse.

This divide is getting beyond ridiculous!

Were they? Why have they not been revealed now the referendum is long over? Where are they?
