Link to the poll mentioned.

A good break down of the other polls done by Yougov on this subject by youtuber Phil Moorhouse.

My personal opinion is that Labour do not want to talk about Brexit until they can stop the Tory media telling lies on the subject. We will only get one shot at reversing this fiasco, so they want to get it right. With Labour I agree on this. Let it lie until we can have some actual facts on the matter. Any discussions with current media throwing in their bias is swayed by those who have pocketed billions from the Misery imposed over Brexit.

    If only they were warned about the consequences… oh right, “project fear.”

    The UK had a privileged place in the EU before they blew it up over, as best I can tell, fear of foreigners, (which is curious given that immigration is now at record levels.) It’s not often that one gets to see a world power commit suicide over irrational xenophobia.

      You realise that most wars are fought over irrational xenophobia. Xenophobia is the easiest button to push for the populist vote.

        Sure, but we didn’t go to war with another country, we just stuck a screwdriver in our own ear and kept twisting it.

          tbf any time people vote for a party that fearmongers about foreigners it’s equivalent to them kicking themselves in the nuts, like at best it only results in yet more money being taken from the voters and put into the pockets of the wealthy

      Project fear, or where it refers to the supposed remainders in the Tory party is also lies. They were all in on it, suppressing reports on how bad it would be and trying to avoid EU tax regulations.

      Cameron, May, all of them wanted it. It was a proper The Sting level big con. They are the slippiest of cunts. This isn’t a bad article
