Nice to see your tolerant side coming out, if/when you claim later that you have not stereotyped leavers I will remind you:)

Tbf, red faced people sitting drunk on public transport, , shouting about Donald Trump, foreigners, and how they can't understand the accent of the train announcer - do a decent job of stereotyping themselves.

I hope you made your connection at Clapham.

How is that whole let us try to persuade leave voters to change their minds going?

Is it a criminal offence to come from the shires?

You wont have seen me I only travel first class:)...

That must have been lovely.

Now that is an interesting question.

Perhaps it say a lot about you.

You just need to be honest I reckon.

You care first and foremost about where you live. Luxembourg must provide for your needs, else you wouldn't be there.

Likewise, I don't expect people in London to worry overly when good jobs are lost in Redcar, Sunderland, or anywhere else.

A degree of selfishness is expected in any economy, because it is linked with competitiveness.

So the reality is that people in North Wales will not notice jobs lost in London or Dagenham. The reverse is true.

The George Osborne / Remain argument was based on collective loss. It didn't really resonate did it.

Brexit will generate a lot of change, and change brings opportunity for some.

Tens of thousands of people have marched in central London to demand a final vote on any UK exit deal, on the second anniversary of the Brexit vote.'

So tens of thousands

So peoplesvote fanbase is about equivalent to the fanbase of Bromley and Brackley Town added together.

The marchers are asking for a vote on the final deal. The only conclusion that can be drawn from your scorn is that you are afraid that if there were such a vote, then the deal would be rejected.

But the selfishness should encourage you to want those London jobs kept; the more tax is paid by Londoners, the less tax you personally need to pay (to maintain the same level of service).

Sure, you don't care about the individuals who need to find new jobs, but you should care about the income tax and local spending that they'll no longer be driving. 900 staff and 30,000 business visitors will be generating a lot of tax income.

Well that was a great result.

Over 100,000 people marched in London demanding a second referendum today.

More than 100,000 pro-EU supporters attended a march in London calling for a vote on the final Brexit deal.

The counter protest by those in favour of leaving the EU attracted just a few hundred....

Not entirely they are not.

The placards say it all. I fully accept and appreciate peoples right to march and have their say. But let's not dress it up. Plenty of those marching wish to stop Brexit altogether.
