How many times does it need to be explained? A definition of what Leave “ meant” was not asked for and therefore not required. What Leave “ means” is subjective, obviously.

But “leave” itself is not subjective. Which is what Johnson is saying.

We leave, no matter what, no matter what way.

Ball cocks......there is nothing ambiguous about the question on the ballot sheet.

Politicians have subsequently tried very hard and successfully to make it and ambiguous, but the question was yes or no, nothing ambiguous about that.

Very Brexit. We’ve had enough of experts.
Sorry, do those words make a point in your head?

Yes, but we have to imagine that, as it hasn’t happened........................
