Quote: Si Wooldridge says... "...is the duplicity of May in setting up DexEU and undermining it completely for the next two years" I think the Northern Ireland border issue and the EU probably were doing that all on their own.
The ads targetted at Facebook users, very scary. I mean it's very smart, play on fears with lies in adverts that only get seen if you have those fears, and the wider audience doesn't see them so nobody is standing up saying this is an unacceptable level of attempted manipulation.
It's insidious, it's crossing a line, because it's not accountable. No wonder Putin is dedicating so many resources to anything remotely like this.

I was one of those originally believing that, although both leave groups cheated electoral law, it probably didn't have a significant effect on voting. I don't believe that anymore.
There are graphs that show the swing in the vote right at the last minute, and files showing that it was a plan to throw a lot of money at last minute vote manipulating adds for maximum impact, knowing that this was the most effective way of tipping the scales - hence the surprise at the unexpected result.
Leave cheated significantly and broke the law. Foreign money was almost certainly involved. There should be serious legal consequences.
However, as sensible legal brains will point out, the referendum was advisory, not binding, so it is legally meaningless to overturn a non-binding referendum. They may well get away with it (well, they already have it seems)

I am telling you here and now what caused the big swing to go for brexit at the last moment.....
Obalma, an American president coming over here to the UK and telling us what we must do and stay in. Grrrr!
Think that was the final straw that broke the camels back, as all our illustrious politicians on all sides were telling us to stay, and all the experts were saying the same, and PM Camerons job was on the line, so we said stuff you and left :D

This is the graph that shows the swing. It's a few days at most when the lead swaps - nothing to do with Obama's statement from months before or those annoying experts with all their evidence and s***.
Note the sudden shift:

As a result of the modern media era we live in I find I have a shorter attention span these days. I've even been know to check out the length of a video as the first level of decision whether to watch it or not.
This next link is nearly an hour long but I found myself watching the whole thing between fares last night (longer chunks than I would have liked }
Please give it some time even if you don't watch it all. Yes the guy on the right is the one I suggested following on Twitter.

Unfortunately the people who need to see this won't and their cognitive dissonance means that they still wouldn't believe it even if they did (just read some of the idiotic comments below it).
Just today, Fraser Nelson of the Spectator spouting nonsense about how WTO rules are great and nothing to fear for UK (remember when 'no deal' was Project Fear? and when getting a good deal with EU would be "easiest in history". Now 'no deal'/WTO was apparently what we were voting for all along).
His uninformed opinion was widely de-bunked by actual experts within minutes, but the brexiters won't see this, the original highly erroneous article will be shared around as proof.
