Steve,
I'm sorry, Keith, but you do not get to oblige us to demonstrate your ignorance. It's up to you to go back quietly to check the facts.

I just did. I produced hard facts and now it is your turn.
I quoted the booklet that the government delivered to every household in the country so that no-one could be in any doubt of the facts.

"The referendum on Thursday, 23 June is your chance to decide if we should remain in or leave the European Union."

This is your decision. The government will implement what you decide."

Nothing about it only being advisory.
