Sorry. I'm calling 'bollocks did they' on that.
That's difference between an impartial 'news' organisation and, erm, the other :angry-cussingblack: that call themselves 'news' and simply play to a very base base. :(
Impartial? You make me laugh.

Naga Munchetty, hardly impartial.

If remainers are so fuckin' clever, how come they didn't find a way to win?
Fancy a re-run on the vote gramps? Lets see how it works out :thumbup:

Given the demographic of the first vote, you do wonder if sufficient of the original Brexit vote is now brown bread.
Basically we're being held to ransom by corpses.

That applies to many of our laws, too. It's also likely that in the 1975 referendum about the EEC, a number of people who voted to remain are also corpses. According to those who work out these things, statistics showed from the people who voted, a higher percentage of old people voted to remain than young people did. I wonder if the young 'leavers' in 1975 became the old 'leavers'. in 2016.

Lineker doesn't work for BBC News, isn't a reporter/journalist and isn't on the BBC payroll AFAIK. He gets paid too much as a contractor though. :thumbup:

(People probably froth at the mouth about what some of the panel of HIGNIFY say on the show and in their 'real lives' too :lol: - but it's a bought in programme from Hat Trick Productions and they aren't on the payroll either).

All of them - I'd say it's an absolute certainty. How often do you hear of people getting younger as time passes?
