The BBC news has just said something quite similar, questioning the accuracy of their ratings in the past and just how wide of the mark they've been historically.

Amazing to get some balance from the Beeb!

Also, how can someone have researched their leave vote in detail but then claim to be unaware of the £350m bus only a few sentences later?
I assume that this is directed at me..

Its quite interesting that you are so obsessed with the bus thing. Did your mummy not buy you one to play with? Why would my "research" ( your word, not mine) have to necessarily include a photo op for a bus I never saw? There are and were far more important things to consider than the fluff and nonsense put out by both sides in the debate.
That you seem to believe that my failure to consider the bus somehow renders invalid my decision to leave reveals much much more about you than just about anything else youve posted on these threads over the past 15 months.
Here's a clue: not everyone follows the same nonsensical and bizarre thought processes that you do when making their own minds up.

Mummy? Interesting that just putting two parts of your own post in bold with no changes or comment whatsoever results in insults......

I would just offer the view that it is hard to see how anyone following the referendum and its arguments could fail to be aware of the £350m debate. Indeed the leave team have as much admitted it's "false basis" was partly deliberate to get it discussed and argued over even more.

If you were to compare taking part in the referendum to the standards required for driving, then it could be argued that being unaware of the £350m issue was "voting without due care and attention", "reckless voting", or even "causing death (of the future economy) by dangerous voting".

I don't know why you are pretending not to be aware of the £350m/bus, as pretending you surely must be...... the alternative is that you didn't follow any of the run up to the referendum on pretty much any media whatsoever.

It may seem like a minor point but there it is.

Indeed.

"Absolutely no one is talking about threatening our position in the single market."

It is the smugness of delivery that really underpins that Hannah soundbite, just like Davis on car deals etc.

I'm not really any clearer on what this "better than EEA, Canada etc." deal will look like. It still sounds a bit cake and eat it post 2021. We're just delaying the cake.

Self-appointed? Its a phrase I only really hear mentioned by frothing alt-right cretins?

Stop inventing stuff.... Quote me properly and in context or don't quote me at all.

Credibility thing? Yours went out of the window a long time ago when you pretended to know about things that you actually knew nothing about. ( on more than one subject)

Yet more bleating about the bus.....
rofl I did not see the bus picture. Therefore i was not aware of what was written on the side of it. Its quite simple really. I know you are obsessed with the bloody thing, but you simply have to move on for the sake of your own sanity!

I was aware of the debate surrounding NHS contributions... One can be aware of that without having to have seen the bus. As it happens I did not think, nor did I want to see, savings on our EU contributions splurged on the NHS. ( it needs reform more than it needs money imho)

It's almost as if anything negative about brexit completely passed you by. Remarkable really in a months long campaign with day & night wall to wall coverage. scratchchin

Stop wriggling and provide the quote. It should not be too hard for you.

Yes, I thought that line of argument might be next.

You knew about the £350m then, but not the bus.

Thing is it was never really about the actual physical automotive passenger mode of transportation (bus), it was always about the big fat lie written on the side, including "Let's" and "NHS". Which you were aware of.

It is still incredible to now claim to be unaware of the £350m bus story.

Does the Hannah denial mean you do know who Dan Hannah is/was and what he said during the campaign?

Oh my.... Where to start. The bus is completely irrelevant to me. The debate about NHS contributions is adifferent, even if it was on the side of the bus. I did not want money saved from eu contributions to go to the NHS anyway, so that side of the Brexit argument held no weight for me whatsoever.

I'd caution against siding with Eddie on the Hannan thing... He does have a track record of being wide of the mark. Lets see him produce the quote, in context, that proves that I said that I did not know who Daniel Hannan was/is.

Arguing why people voted a certain way is now pointless.

We are where we are, and this thread is for the discussion of the consequences of leaving.
