perhaps if the remain camp looked at some of the people they wheeled out before the vote, I'm thinking of the Izzard's, Cumberbatch's, geldoff's, Clarkson's, and the like they might have a better idea of part of the reason why they lost the vote.
Im genuinely confused as to why the people you're cited expressing an opinion would cause people to vote contrary to it.
That's true.Throwing out a point and then immediately folding when asked to justify it wont win many arguments.
That's true.
I'd like to know why people think Charles Dyson for example is a dickhead.
Because he is just bitter about his brother James success I guess
By the way, if any Brexiteers find any of this unreasonable, feel free to chime in. Though it would be a sad state of affairs if someone fundamentally opposed to them were coming up with their own answers to their own problem. Faintly embarrassing really.You know, I had no idea Jeremy Clarkson was on the Remain side. He's pretty much the prototype Leave voter. Astounding.
Celebrity endorsements are nonsense though, I've been able to make my mind up for myself perfectly capably so far without the help of Eddie Izzard or Michael Caine.
You know what would sate me at this stage? If there were a commitment to protecting the City as the financial centre of Europe (like it or loathe it, we fucking need it), a statement that we would seek to remain in the single market at all costs (as detailed in the Tories' own manifesto from a whole 18 months ago) and an opt in for all Remain voters to retain an EU passport and all the rights that go with it. After that, carry on with your scheme to turn the clock back to 1958, knock yourselves out.
In 2000 the European Commission had fined JCB €39.6m for antitrust breaches. The fine centred on JCB’s strategy of preventing consumers in one EU country buying its machinery more cheaply from an authorised dealer in another EU country — an approach that the then trade commissioner Mario Monti called a “shocking” breach of the single market.
