    well you have introduced yourself as someone for my ignore list. In the meantime I suggest you look in the mirror to see the bigot and the next time you make personal attacks you will be reported. I suggest you read the forum rules.

    Not quite, to correct your initial statement if you picked a random sample of the population and surveyed them, you'd expect at most 6/12 to say they vote remain.... I doubt it was a very random sample & to be honest, if you are trying to apply some kind of analysis you should be polling far more than a dozen people.

    And here is why: At work there's been much discussion on this and I've spoke to a much larger sample size.

    I'd say of the 60-70 people I've spoke with only 2-3 said they voted Brexit & in the area I live, Brexit won by nearly 60 to 40.

    By your logic, I should be crying foul play... (Which I'm not).

    Ironic .. considering we won the leave vote but you don't want to adhere or accept that.

    It's an interesting viewpoint that I've witnessed from people that because one side won, the others are told to 'stop complaining and accept it', often in an almost hostile manner.

    This would not happen with a general election and no-one would expect labour supporters to flip to conservatives just because the Tories won the last election.

    Additionally, if a remain had won, does anyone seriously expect Nigel Farage would of gone quietly into the night?

    People need to remember that Democracy did not end with Brexit & I'd expect those who feel strongly to remain won't feel any different afterwards & continue to disagree & some even protest (as is there democratic right) - personally, I'm not so strongly positioned on remain that I'm planning on taking to the streets but the tone taken by some seems forgetful that people are simply exercising their voice as is entitled to them in law.
