Thwarting a democratic vote or supporting that cause is a disgrace.

People have been discussing our ties with Europe forever and this will not cease, particularly when the evidence shows the country taking a short-term and long-term hit.
Currently a hit of £500m per week and rising! Not an issue if you're one of the global financial elite making a killing on speculation or a country like Russia that benefits from distracting the West from other matters like Ukraine and Syria but a concern for the rest of us trying to earn an honest crust.
If you prefer the kind of environment where people have to pretend such things aren't happening, then maybe the leafy settings of Venezuela or North Korea would be more to your taste.

Just because people live on a large council estate doesn't mean they're left-leaning. Things aren't always as simple as they seem.
