Jim, if I did say that (I don't remember), I was being sarcastic: it wasn't me calling people plebs, it was me characterising the leavers as treating people like gullible plebs. I can be a bit subtle for some of these eejits, you know.

So, Nige, you accepted the lie propagated by your side. And didn't say anything. Well, at least I don't recall you saying anything. But why would you care? As long as the plebs swallowed it hook, line and sinker and voted leave. What else mattered, Nige?

Yes, you did make that statement.
Just your usual tactic of changing your mind, or blaming others for not understanding what you meant, or just claiming that it was just 'whimsy', or sarcasm.
