That was posted well before the good lord who drafted Article 50 told us that it wasn't, after all, irrevocable. And it was posted well before the EU made gentle noises to the same effect. The whole country was told that Article 50 was the point of no return. It was yet another brexiteer lie, intended to close the door on the debate once and for all. You believed it then, I believed it then. I now know what's true about Article 50, Nigel. Come and join us.

So now back to your statement, Nigel. Once again, this idea that Brexit was "pushed through by a minority of the population". You see, you wish to relegate it to being just "an idea" (anyone remember that other Tory trick of relegating the election promise to get immigration down to the tens of thousands to being just "an aspiration?"). The statement "brexit was pushed through by a minority of the population" is not "an idea" at all. It's rock-solid true. You have the numbers. You're a stickler for precision with words, Nigel, so you purport. So let me just nitpick YOU. "Population" is not the same thing as "electorate." Only, this isn't quite as irrelevant as some of YOUR nitpicking, is it? After all, you brexiteers, when you spoke for the nation, forgot that you were speaking for millions of young people who will be suffering the effects of your "speaking," long after you'll be pushing up the daisies. And, tragically, they didn't get a say. They were only allowed to be in the population, not in the electorate. I'd say that isn't a nitpicking difference meself.
