No it didn't. It was 52% to 48%. Actually a reasonably small victory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want any squirming Leavers to have a get-out where they can blame someone else..... Same. I have anguished over this because I don't wish harm on people, but I've decided that hard brexit would be best. Given a choice, I'd still vote remain, but after that, hard brexit (or no deal if that exists). It is the only way this country will learn. People can't be reasoned with, the only time they change their minds is through experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkins Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) This is interesting, somebody trained a bot using a thread on Reddit called "Culture War" and then got it to simulate a new subreddit: With almost 4k pages on the HPC Brexit What Happens Next thread I wonder if you could do basically the same thing using this thread as a training set. The thread is often quite botlike with the same arguments coming up over and over again. Edited May 14, 2019 by Dorkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit odd that May's stooge Barclay should be replying to an e mail from Redwood to the Attorney General. Barclay even says that the AG will be agreeing with him, which might be a bit presumptious. AIUI we have never been permitted to see the full legal analysis of May's deal from the AG. If and when Cox replies to Redwood, that is a letter I look forward to reading.

If I asked the family whether they wanted to spend a few grand I found in an account on a holiday in Bali, I can guarantee they'd each have their own idea what to spend the money on, so the "vote" would likely fail to win a majority. You could say the same about Brexit: it represents just one option with what to do with our future as a country. Indeed, it's easy to imagine that a vote for remain was simply a vote against leave, and that means that leave won despite all the alternatives. Which if you think about it, given that it is a vote for a radical change, is pretty damn surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In today's world, where rage inducing content is monetised and served up to an eager audience, brexit and other events like it are bound to happen on a long enough timescale. A lot of things coincided to bring this vote about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
