I didn't say the poll was fake news. I said it was contrived to produce the result they wanted.

Choose any subject and ask the public to put a number on it and it will make that public look stupid, because unless they study the subject intently, people are bound to get it wrong.

However, considering the Angua principle, it would appear that your mind is closed to any pro-Brexit article or response, despite this option having been selected by the British electorate.

Not very democratic of you, old chap.

So, once again we come back to this desire to see choices given to the public on the kind of Brexit they want. What's that, then?

I'll tell you. It's between whether we run with the best deal Theresa May can get with the EU or it's a Brexit with no deal.

Given that a Brexit with no deal is not what you want and will not resolve your precious Northern Ireland/Republic of Ireland border issue, I would have thought that you would have abandoned that wish to give the electorate another say, Andrew. If you want to believe the media take on this, nobody likes the Chequers arrangement and we'd get a 'hard Brexit' (or just Brexit, pure and simple), however you want to look at it.

Why would you be advocating a vote when the public is unlikely to go for the EU deal? I think it's time you re-thought this, because you're starting to unravel.
