EU referendum in Thurrock

[Puggit]

So the good people of Furrock have participated in an experiment today, and of those who voted 89.9% voted against membership of the EU.

Turnout was 30%, similar to local election levels.

Proof the EU is a bad idea. They can’t even fool Furrock voters.

O/T. My wife has just creased me up. She has a friend here and was describing the car she learned to drive in; the first BMW I ever bought, a 2002 Tii.

The public are too stupid to be trusted with important decisions like this - thats why we have high quality MPs!

It is results like this that guarantee we will never get a referendum in this country.

Politicians are scared of their own people and scared of democracy.
