David Cameron promised us that the result of the referendum would be implemented, so let's not get involved in pulling hairs.

I don't know where that statistic came from, but the point is that all the indications suggest that the vote would be roughly the same if it was re-run.

Blaming the ad on the side of the bus for the referendum outcome tbzt remainers didn't want is simply clutching at straws.

Nobody was 'hoodwinked'! The word 'let's' indicated it was a suggestion and you know very well where that figure came from.

Given that all the main political parties were involved in the leave campaign, any suggestion about what could be done with the savings could only be that - a suggestion.

Let's stop going round in circles with these silly arguments. We are where we are and now we just need to get on with it.
