And you vote for a party that houses nonce sympathisers who also sympathise with the IRA. I thought you hated all that?

Does this mean child pornography should not be banned? Indeed it does not, says Claire Fox. In a podcast interview, the Daily Telegraph‘s Christopher Hope asked: ‘You don’t think jihadi videos should be banned but you do think child pornography should be banned from the internet?
Fox: ‘I think child pornography itself is illegal and therefore it wouldn’t exist, yeah.’
Hope: ‘But the videos…’
Fox: ‘I do not want to give the state and the authorities the right to ban things on the internet. No ifs.’
Presented with her comments by Robert Peston last week, Nigel Farage said: ‘She’s a well-respected commentator, a clear thinker.’
Such are the candidates for the patriotic and decent Brexit party. Three points are worth noting.
Right-wingers condemn Jeremy Corbyn for good reasons. But if they don’t condemn the Brexit Party for the same reasons, they are the most awful hypocrites

It'll cause outrage but it is the reality.

That remains to be seen.

It's possible the mainstream media have been feeding us inflated poll results so they can later say that "Brexiteers did not do as well as had been expected".

Also the turnout may have been extremely low and produced some quirky results.

So is someone going to come in to replace May and magically find consensus among all the parties?

Even if we somehow end up remaining in the EU, we've lost all credibility as a nation and will forever be looked on with suspicion.

I thought that Brexiteers were all about democracy? Or is this another case of hypocrisy and it’s now okay to deny people the right to vote and vote for a party with IRA sympathisers?

Yes, the Brexit party will pick up about a third of the vote.

Yes, this will send a message.

But the Brexit party will not be able to action their single policy from the European Parliament. This is irrefutable. Once again Brexit is an expression of anger and frustration with little consideration of practicalities or logic.

People maybe feel they NEED to send the message regardless of the impact it has on EU shenanigans. The NEED stems from the perception that their so-called representatives are wantonly ignoring them

All emotive stuff though isn't it? The UK & EU establishments MUST have forseen this but chose to say nothing...maybe with view to discrediting the anticipated outcome. Had we not held the election - they & the EU were not especially bothered about their votes being cast either way - otherwise they would have made the mechanism for their votes to be cast very public. They chose not to.

The key word here being perception. The legal process to leave has been instigated. Brexit has been the only thing on the national agenda for three years.

The problem is Brexiters cannot decide amongst themselves how to leave and have completely changed their demands since the referendum. If anything the issue is giving their opinion too much weight rather than not enough.

Did i dream we had an election yesterday? There is not ONE SHRED of news about it this morning! Do we have to delay the count until all other countries have voted (Sunday, i think), in case the rest of Europe are so feckin' obsessed by the UK's opinion that their own polls may be skewed?

I wonder if one of the brexiteers will step up and take the job or will they all fall by the wayside again and ask a remainer to deliver the unicorn so they have someone to point the finger at again.

Going to be interesting if it’s someone like Johnson, would he have the balls to pull the trigger on no deal or the balls to try and make people understand it’s untenable?

Whichever he thinks will be more popular would be my guess.

Wasn't just about what was on the ballot paper though was it.

OK what was missing from the ballot paper? Let me take an educated guess.

Remain whatever

Leave, but only if.....

Then keep on repeating the only ifs until every base is covered.

The result was 51.8% v 48.2%. But Ireland and Scotland were heavily in favour of remain. England voted much more to leave. And as power is held by those in power in England the leave direction will always be favourite.

So you don't have a clue about EU rules and regulations then. Or is it OK to be bought up by other Europeans but not anyone else?

Good point but he was merely pointing out that the result of the vote was based on overall percentages not what constituency voted what.

Exactly.

You said we were just talking about the Brexit vote paper. We wasn't, but then I asked you what was missing from the ballot paper. Yet you still say it wasn't what we were talking about.

So what were we talking about then?
