Subject: RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
Sorry, DMcG, whilst I generally agree with you on this topic, I think it's vitally important to keep banging out those obstinate facts. It could be that we will reach crisis point in the next weeks or months. It may even come to asking the British people that question again. All the arguments for remain that we've articulated far more clearly during the referendum would be required all over again in what will inevitably be another extremely lopsided campaign. We would be up against brexiteers who will be calling us anti-democratic. Every argument in our armoury will be needed and will need to be far more clearly and candidly put than they were in the hysterical, undemocratic referendum campaign. The demograhic details of the vote, which, obviously, we didn't have last time, are grist to our mill. It's my opinion that the remainers have done pretty well in crystallising the arguments, though few leavers have yet been persuaded. On the other hand, leavers are stuck with the stale sloganising that characterised their campaign, and, as events pan out, their arguments look more and more threadbare by the day. You only have to look at Iains' frustrated return to his gutter if you want an example of how worried they are.

Do grow up, by the way, Iains.
