From the horse's mouth so to speak - People / leave voters subjectively unhappy with National Government and EU's handling of Immigration (lots of coverage of Med and French migrant camps leading up to referendum, economic crash (again dissatifation of Govt / politics, big business / banking in general) hence slogans like 'Take Back Control' and a chance for public in referendum to stick one up against establishment in a protest vote esp as Cameron as PM was all for Remain)

Third against EU, third for EU and another third ambivalent and who were swayed by the leave campaign.

Excellent stuff. Thanks for sending that in.

Zlatan just demonstrated just how low the quality some of the Trolls we get on here have fallen, he will not be missed, as he never once made a convincing post that put Brexit in a favourable light
But I am surprised he would sink as low as he did, to edit other people's posts is despicable., a betrayal of trust.
lol!... yes he did make a mug of you more than once - best to ignore i suppose :p

He did it - I would imagine - to severely rattle your cage.

Which - one has to admit - he has completely succeeded in doing.

Sorry Oldgroaner - you lost this round. And now you've said you're going to ignore him. Which means he has free reign to comment dishonestly or otherwise on your posts - while you must ignore everything he says! Sounds like hell to me (for you).

Oh well.

This was never going to end nicely.

Editing someone's post to change its meaning is despicable. You should be ashamed of yourself for sinking that low.
.
Flecc - come on - it was a wind up. Don't you fall for it as well. Anybody with half an eye open could see he was changing the content - he made it utterly obvious.

Smile. Don't take it all so seriously. This is just some stupid thread nobody but a handful of people are even remotely interested in.

Give it a rest! He got you fair and square. It was blindingly obvious what he was up to. And you fell for it. Why? Because you take yourself so f*******g seriously. Lighten up. Go have a beer and watch some TV for a while - or do whatever you like to do to relax.

Despicable comments are the norm on here. You, ve supported many throughout who have made them. OG walked into it. Starting his own post the way he did, he deserves it. If you cant stand heat. Stay out kitchen. Or get site to alter format or start moderating.
It was a wind up. Saying he admitted to his own posts being "ignorant" "" was simply bouncing his insults back at him.
Besides, it certainly isnt first tine its happened. Just first time somebody has cried over it.
And, before posting I re read comments. I thought it was funny.. Wasnt insulting at all.
Og's and your reaction make it funnier.

are you going to watch Cumberbatch Monday on Channel 4?

quote:

The drama, which also takes in such highly topical subjects as data mining, the power of social media and fake news, shows that even though Cummings is largely unknown to the general public, he had an enormous influence on the campaign. He dreamt up, for instance, the famous slogan, “Take back control.”

But, as Brexit: the Uncivil War demonstrates, his masterstroke was pioneering a completely new kind of campaign. Drawing on state-of-the-art data analytics, he discovered that there were three million disillusioned voters who were not registered to any political party.

In the drama, Cummings bombards them with one billion targeted pro-Leave online advertisements during the campaign. These previously undetected voters may well have helped tip the referendum in favour of Brexit.

Tommie you are making a fool of yourself

It came as close to Mass Hypnosis as it was possible to get.

He did not break any law and it's his job to deliver a victory for his side.
The fault is of the government to have created as many as 3 million angry voters ready to punish it.

Stop acting like a fool,you know what he did was way out of court
Ah ah.. FTFY.. Shall I... would be easy.. And OG wouldnt even know.
Amazing isnt it. Folk call all leavers idiots, racists, trolls xenophobes, thick, misinformed. One poster calls Tories scum, royalist scum. OG calls posters ignorant and I change a "this" to a "my" and OG is in meltdown with flecc calling it dispicable.
Then they both have affrontary to not even see their own hypocrisy. Its staggering. What does way out of court mean. Never heard that one. Must be a Hull thing.

you should ask FB and Aaron Banks about that. It's their databases after all.
We use a lot of online 'free' services. At the end of the day, it's partly our fault to be so trusting.
