Do you think that sky subscribers are mostly remainers then? I’ve seen nothing to suggest that they are.

Interesting set of new polls from Sky this morning:

we are going to end up with something that neither side wants, we will be in, but with some rehashed total mess of a situation, a far cry from what we had before

at least then we can all be friends again, spending our Euros

I stand by my quote immediately after the referendum. I think that a lot of Brexiteers will be saying "This is not what I voted for". I did suggest that I would try to get it copyrighted but that was in jest.

If any of you lot does copyright this I want my cut!

Correct, they are happy to pay a fat and ever increasing subscription fee...

Not radically different to the recent Yougov poll in any case

Oh, people are used to not getting what they voted for, by now.

Cameron was never going to hit his migration target. Now...once Brexit occurs...and millions leave as the UK gets squeezed..it might be achieved.

Maybe it was his plan all along :cool:

In the wake of the Brexit vote, support for the EU around the continent is at its highest since 1983

Has anyone asked the Citizens of the EU27, I dont think so. We all assume too much when it is said the EU27 dont want the UK to leave.

I only hope the EU 27 MEPs will be listening to their voters. There is only 10 months of campaigning left before the elections in May 2019.

It’s going to be interesting to see how the seismic shift toward far right/fascist politics on mainland Europe manifests itself in the new European Parliament.
Worrying times.

Brexiteers are "nationalists" who "hate foreigners" and are not "patriots" like those campaigning for a second referendum, Lord Mandelson has said.

The former Labour Cabinet minister and European trade commissioner described leading Eurosceptics as "Brextremists".

Lord Mandelson claimed that the Eurosceptic backlash against the Prime Minister's Chequer's compromise proved the need for a second referendum.

He told LBC Radio: "Patriotism is love of your country. Wanting to stand up for your country, wanting to serve the best interests of your country.

More good news for the Leave side. Not only do we have Bliar helping us, now we have Mandy!!
