None taken.

You may still class me as a bumhole given my addendum, but either KRG only knows half the story or he’s being as disingenuous as some of the people I’m talking about.

This is bollocks. I know what you are referring to, and it’s a totally bogus misrepresentation of what that conversation was about.

Also bollocks. The ‘dissent’ you mention, is more often than not a constant stream of twats screaming death or rape threats. So it’s perhaps not that surprising that they aren’t overly keen to engage.

> and that these types of things give them PTSD.

What ‘type of things’? Rape? Yeah it probably does.

> edit: also the kind of people who think listen and beleive is a legal framework.

No, it isn’t. No one is claiming that. It’s possible to listen and believe without sacrificing due process.

So the polls are closed. Sunderland are hot favourites to declare first. What were the polls in Sunderland prior to today. Might give an indication how this might play out

YouGov poll exit poll puts Leave on 48% & Remain on 52%.

I’d take it with a pinch of salt, of course. Just thought it may be of interest.

Edit: Equivalent YouGov poll from the GE lsat year was wrong. So…
