Whether it was legal or not is irrelevant. It shouldn’t have happened. Neither should a U.S President Obama, interfering doing the Remain camps bidding.
This is just another futile attempt to thwart the legitimate Democratic leave result by Remainers.

Just because a politician states that is their declared reason it does not mean that is..
Quote:
While navigating Brexit was her declared reason, many political commentators believed Mrs May couldn't resist the opportunity presented by the opinion polls. A flurry of polls around the middle of April showed the Conservatives about 20 points ahead of Labour..
|
Quote:
And if her poll ratings were to be believed, she could have expected to be returned as prime minister with a greatly strengthened majority in the House of Commons. There was even talk of a Tory landslide victory when some polls early in the campaign showed a 20-percentage point gap between the Conservatives and Labour.

If the accusations are to be believed which I don’t, it’s conveniently took two years to drop this revelation, this can be seen right through for what is.
It does not invalidate the result. We are leaving the EU!

It’s not dead, it’s just resting...
Beautiful plumage! It’s not dead, it’s just stunned - probably pining for the fjords.

But we're going to follow their rules anyway, so why bother? It just leaves us without a say on them.

Re: Brexit Discussion (New thread-Follow First Post Rules!)
What is extra frightening is that the leave campaign was orchestrated by a 12 year old called Darren from his bedroom
Scary looking youth too ! Reminds me of Adrian Mole.
Anyway, he's been a naughty boy and Mum and Dad are going to have to fork out £20k in fines !

I do not give a shit either way - my vote and I am sure all 17.4 Million people who voted leave did so because they are actually pissed off with the corrupt EU, not because their vote was bought.
Let's not the forget Remain camp spent way more and also got the government leaflet, on top of that, whether it was legal is irrelevant, it should NOT have been, tax payer money funding a campaign, that is taking the piss. All the money spent, all the scheming and blackmail being done by the Remain side and it still loses - the sentiment is clear - more Brits want to leave and not stay in a corrupt union.
