Nice one Eddie. But........
You do know the Bee Bee Cee are biased dontcha?

[EDDIE51]

Add to that the 27.8% of people who did not bother to vote. So can be assumed to support the current situation and you can see why there is doubt that A 50 will ever be triggered.

Bloody left wing extremist.

And Neil Kinnock, the best PM we never had, has shown his statesmanship in calling for Jeremy Corbyn to "Do his duty and resign."

//the best PM we never had...//

really, Sandy?

[EDDIE51]

I don't think even the BBC made up the % turnout figure!
So 48% supported remain by actually voting while 27.8% are so lacking in interest they could not be bothered to vote either way.
So that is 75.8% of the population who either want to remain or are just not bothered what happens. I can hardly see a mass uprising if the government simply decide to leave A50 as long as possible and then decide to accept a 'new deal' to stay in the EU.
Some on here think there would be 'blood on the streets' unless the government instantly take us out of the EU. I am one of those who believe there will be no more than a few grumbles when it is announced that a new deal has been agreed that lets us stay while also 'saving face'.

by the same token, there's very unlikely to be a labour leadership contest any time soon. despite her declared intent to invoke a challenge, angela eagle soon got cold feet when the momentum activists in her constituency threatened to deselect her.

It was old people who voted out.
If they have a riot it will have to be after 'Countdown' and 'The Chase'.

[Bertrum]

EDDIE51 If you decide not to vote you are agreeing to abide by the majority to claim they are in favour of remain does not make sence

[Bertrum]

Older people don't need to riot they vote

[dannyk13]

Gromit; and you would have to wait to have your nappy changed before being let out on the street.

[Old_Geezer]

"A third of voters think Brexit won't happen - poll"
That would be two thirds of the remainers blighted by wishful thinking then ?

[Svejk]

^Oooer. lolz.

[dannyk13]

loiz??

[ToraToraTora]

"best PM we never had" - Kinnochio! PMSL - now I know you're on the steam Sandy! Mushroom's video demonstrates one reason he got a slap by the grey man, celebrating "victory" the day before! the public don't like being taken for granted, Neil.

Eddie, //So 48% supported remain by actually voting while 27.8% are so lacking in interest they could not be bothered to vote either way.

Would you apply the same criteria to a General Election?

Just came back from getting a haircut, and my barber says that her son and his wife are over here visiting. It seems one voted In and the other voted Out, and they're still arguing about it while here on holiday!

By the way, they're from Scotland.
