P.K. Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 This is the sort of thing that irritates me about the whole Brexit farrago. This chart shows the amount of In or Out propaganda as fed to the British public before the referendum. You will notice the Leave lot overwhelmed the Remain lot by 82% to 18%. The top four Brexit supporting papers (and presumably the most influential) were as follows: The Daily Torygraph - owned by the Barclay brothers - status Non Doms Daily Excress - owned by Richard Desmond - status Non Dom The Sun - owned by Murdoch - 'nuff said The Daily Wail - owned by Lord Rothermere - status Non Dom inherited from his father FFS! Then you get this: Daily Mail Brexit coverage praised as it is named Press Awards Newspaper of the Year for 2016 As I can scarcely believe it myself: http://www.pressgazette.co.uk/daily-mail-brexit-coverage-praised-as-it-is-named-press-awards-newspaper-of-the-year-for-2016/ It's enough to make you weep.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzzi Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 For me, one of the most inexcusable near silences was that of Labour and Corbyn. When he did eventually speak up, Corbyn spoke with such obvious insincerity that his message outshone his lukewarm words. He did very little more than say that on balance, he supported remain. He urged no one to vote remain, he did nothing to point out the material benefits that the EU brings to economically disadvantaged areas. It was exactly those Labour voting areas that were key in swinging it in favour of 'leave'. A more vigorous Labour campaign that focussed on getting the facts out would have made a difference, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIchard Britten Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 It is very telling that in Liverpool where the Scum is pretty much outright banned, Remain won by 58%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzzi Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 It's hilarious the way the barely literate populists construct insults by simply adding -tard to the object of their criticism! Poptards! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
