If this is what works for you then fine ... but I don’t think it’s tenable in the long run because I don’t think anything that has happened since the vote poses any threat to the result of that vote. You are personally going to have to make peace with that. Might as well be sooner than later. And no, I don’t think there is anything Aaron Banks can be convicted of that will result in the result being discredited, short of wholesale ballot stuffing, and nobody has (yet) tried to claim there has been fraud of that type.

Those lines were put there in a humorous way but they do have a serious message. People seem far too happy to readily fall for conspiracy theories that support their viewpoint instead of opening their minds.
Maybe companies are telling the truth about the impact of no-deal and maybe Arron Banks is being referred to the important National Crime Agency for the right reasons. Are you open to these things being true?
