As if Sir Patrick Stewart couldn't be any more of a gent, scholar and role model.
Not content with a 'stellar' acting career, and having spent decades setting up and supporting various charities (primarily regarding spousal abuse), he now weighs in with a considered and rational approach to, you guessed it, Br*x*t..

Loving BoJo's blurt of 'there was a definitive majority'. 1.9%? Sure, mate, that's definitive AF.

Seeing as Putin's goons were dicking about on Facebook and Twitter, 1.9% is far too close to call.

If we're taking numbers this demo had 1200 people in it.
200 times that amount marched against Blair and he still went to war.
Mentioning this because I suspect that gits foundation is involved in this somewhere.

1.9% is definitive
If it's 1.9% of thirty three and a half million - which it was

Nigel Farage would have something to say about that
Before the vote, he said that if it was less than 60% he wanted a second referendum...
Obviously when he won, 51% was fine...

He also made this sketch
Which they didn't release until the day after the vote.

Edit: If you want to point out that it was actually released around two months before the referendum, please form an orderly queue.

Not sure what your meaning.
Serious, hitting the table is a thing German students do.
Bit odd in this context.

I appreciate things can happen before I am aware of them, but I thought that was the chronology.

Well done
But I'm pretty sure EatYourFace pointed this out, and I copied the video without reading the timestamp on my phone. I thought I was right, and I accept that I was not.
Did you think I was trying to start a conspiracy theory, or are you trying to be helpful? Or the third option?

You seem touchy, you drop your pay packet on the horses or something?
I was just pointing out that the video you linked obviously contradicted you.

I think Patrick Stewart is great, but he pretends to be a spaceman for a living. And lives in California.

Would he have gotten an interview like this?
No, because he's not really famous.

I'd have more respect for him and his campaign
if they had held it in Sunderland, Hull or any of the other Leave strongholds.
Holding an event in Camden with 1200 other middle class remain voters is hardly likely to change anyone's mind. Don't these people get it? You can't live in an echo chamber if you want to change things, and bringing in luvvies to lecture voters on how their betters know what's best for them worked really well last time.
Yes, I am pissed off that Remain fucked this up, but what I am more furious about is that they just keep repeating the same tired clichés that lost the vote last time.
Here's an idea - how about some positive messages about the future in the EU and how it will improve the lives of UK voters. If you can't do that then don't bother.
And they think leave voters are thick.

"The People's Vote campaign would argue that the public, not MPs, should get the final say on Brexit, he said"
yes good idea, because it's not like leaving the vote to the public has got a history of going the way of Brexit after all.
If the Remain group were going to be as disorganised in the event of winning as they were in their campaign, I struggle to think remaining would be a better option anyway.

Let's have one on the death penalty next.
And then decriminalisation of drugs.
And then one on every other issue that politicians are too craven to make a decision on themselves.
