This is the headline on the front of today's DM.
It purports to be a survey of the everyday folk...the people who voted for Brexit. People like you and me. They do NOT represent my opinion...and I would like to be asked before they print bilge like this.
It will lead many to believe that it is a reasonable result for the questions asked.

How many people in the country participated in this survey do you think?
Was it ten thousand? Five thousand maybe? NO....it was less than 1100....and the DM thinks that this is representative of opinion in this country?
17.4 million voted to leave.
They were promised that NO DEAL would be preferable to a bum deal.
This deal is definitely a bum deal....it was signed off with relish in 27 minutes by the 27 members of the EU....that says it all.
It is a GOOD DEAL for them(they will have us in their clutches...along with our money, forever)
Do not swallow this garbage.

I have dashed off a letter to them to tell them that a survey of 1030 by Survation, is NOT representative of the views of the 17.4 million who voted.
I don't think they will print it.

They have no doubt put the views of people of their choosing, Funny how these surveys never mention the average age of those interviewed.

Re: Referendum is a load of crap.!!

T.May has had a real bad turn if she thinks touring the Country to try and persuade us that this is a good and only deal
It is a BAD deal. She should put her hands up now that the deal she signed is rubbish, send a delegation of MPs eg. Leadsom Jacob Reece Mog Ian Duncan Smith and Arlene Foster and tell the EU to thinks again

I do not think the politicians realise that if this deal goes through, it will signal the end of democracy...or the illusion of democracy.
Being the cynical person that I am(this is the result of life experience) I have always said that democracy does not exist....and that if voting changed anything, they(the people who see themselves as the elite) would stop us from doing it..

There have been times in my life when I have not been able to cast an effective vote.....but I have always used my ballot paper....I will continue to do that...even if it is only to write 'What? Vote for these to$$ers?'

I wondered if the Polling company had any political leanings, but I cannot find anything.
I reckon that it is not the polling company that are to be censured, but the publication which commissioned it and paid for it.
I would like to see the criteria for the inclusion of participants, where (geographically) it was conducted(I suspect it was London and the Home Counties....it certainly was not North of Watford)....the survey was far too small to be accurately representative of public opinion.

Daily Express..
"Brexit LIVE: ‘POWER is with us!’ Utter disbelief as Brussels chief GLOATS at May’s deal."

You xenophobic village idiots have cut your own throats and the throats of Britons as yet unborn. You will reduce the country to the status of Greece, but with 5hitty weather. The UK have tried to punch above their weight since WW2 and now the government has thrown in the towel on your behalf.
Just booked a trip home for March when I expect the Pound will crap the bed? It will be cheaper than going to Mexico. I will bring some cancer meds and food parcels.

Will the last one alive please turn the lights off....Having fun yet?

It seems that you hold us in contempt....(bit like those in the EU)so why bother coming over here?
Oh, yes....I guess you have family here....you sit in your ivory tower over in the good old US and make judgements about things you can have no real idea about.

You left.
We are still here. How would you like Mexico to be making your laws?
Telling you what you can do and cannot do.
We had a democratic vote.
That the politicians who are doing the dealing have made a crap fight of it is not of our making.

The fact that Brussels is gloating should tell you something about WHY we want to be free of them.
My father fought for our freedom....it has been insidiously given away by successive mealy mouthed governments....and you think we should suck this up do you?
If we did that you would be equally scathing about us not having the gonads to stand up to these unelected undemocratic bullies.

Your gloating is a very unattractive trait...don't bother to bring anything...in fact don't even bother to bring yourself...we do not need more snakes here....we have enough of our own traitorous reptiles

Cashy burningman says he has booked a trip 'home'....to a place he despises.
He has insulted those of us who had a vote, used it to make a difference to life here.
He didn't think much of life here and left. Therefore he has no say...no vote.

He has called us 'xenophobic village idiots'....now my dad used to tell me that anyone who resorted to insults had a very weak argument...and needed to up their game.
