Because obviously it's much better to have members of the rich elite millionaires club like Aaron Banks throw millions of their money bankrolling the leave campaign and UKIP.

Oh how I miss the rolleyes smiley....

Is that any different than Lord Sainsbury (£3.7 million donation) ,Goldman Sachs,Morgan Stanley,CITI group etc financing the Remain campaign?. Even Lloyds Bank lent them £20k with an interest rate of 1%. Would we get a loan from Lloyds with that rate. What makes it worse is the UK Govt owns a stake in Lloyds.

Both sides had rich backers all having their own agenda and trying to buy influence.

Cornucopia

It's grossly irresponsible for those who know better to refer to any part of the electorate as racist or ignorant.

If they don't know better then they should do.

And if they really believe what they are saying, it is staggering that they could be so stupidly ill-informed.

Your comment above rather demonstrates Cohen's point. Why are your posts on this so full of bile towards those of a contrary opinion

It is not a question of merely being 'full of bile towards those of a contrary opinion'. I have grown to dislike the mentioned individuals intensely, for a variety of reasons.

1. Those based in Britain for their self-serving attempts to subvert democracy, using such tactics as stating that Leave voters are stupid and uneducated, and other such methods (when I know that the people who voted Leave of my acquaintance are anything but stupid, and thought through their decision very carefully; none has regretted their decision). Democracy is a very precious thing, achieved by countries over centuries with great difficulty. Once it is lost, it is only regained with great difficulty, and these people are a serious threat to democracy. When it comes to the politicians mentioned, they are failures who think they can gain power by going against the will of the majority instead of standing up for our country in the face of the behaviour of the petty dictators in Brussels. They also include people who would gain personally from Britain remaining in the EU.

2. The Eurocrats based on the Continent for their rudeness, aggression and lack of manners towards our PM, despite the fact that British taxpayers have contributed enormous sums of money to their failing project. We have voted to leave and be a sovereign country, and we should be able to negotiate for the good of both parties without being subjected to the venom that has been thrown at us – such behaviour just cements the opinions of Leavers towards the EU. No country should be forced to be in the EU and lose its sovereignty when the majority of its population does not want this – it would not be a recipe for success, by any means. :cool:

So you want the average citizen who could never afford such a legal case to lose out to the rich. as I understand it, this case is considering points of law. If the barristers decide that there is no case to answer, they will look at a possible future change in the law. That is in the interest of the country as a whole. Why should only 1 side have access to funding?

Don't you accept that there are some people who are racist and/or ignorant?

A small minority on both sides.

Not all of Leave and none of Remain.

No - they won't.

You don't strip people's rights and citizenship away from them against their will and expect them to 'eventually accept and heal'.

We are a nation divided - and that division is going to get much, much worse over the coming years.

Leave voters may have won the battle - but they'll lose the war.
