Re: The BBC

What a firkin palaver.

"Cheating."

Just as Tony Blair did when he blatantly lied to the whole country about Iraq's (non-existent) weapons of mass destruction. And started what many, including experts, deem to be an illegal war.

Just as Nick Clegg, the Liberal Democrat leader did when he and his party stood on a principle of no higher education fees, then as soon as his chance of personal glory appeared, he sold his party and principles down the river for a share of power. With subsequent election results through the floor.

Just as the whole load of bollocks sprouted by the London 2012 Olympics, a world class legacy left in London, to benefit the whole of the UK ( ha ha fucking ha) including a world class athletics facility barely used once a year, costing as near as dammit a £bn, now sublet to a greedy grasping football club at a loss of some £20m a year.

Just as a VP of the International Athletics body lied to a parliamentary body about his (alleged) lack of knowledge about corruption of that body of which he had been a VP for several years. Not to mention Eugene Oregon simply being GIVEN future games despite other potential candidates.

So what, someone tried to influence voters to leave the EU?

I doubt many actually know who voted Leave and why. From a close group of people i know, 20 or so, family, friends and colleagues who openly state they voted Leave, mostly educated to degree level and beyond, many of them have waited a long time, 20 years or more for that vote.

And in brutal reality, it is not the Leave voters who are responsible for having sold out any younger generations futures. That die was cast some while ago.

YMMV.
