It wasn't a legitimate referendum. The leave campaign broke electoral law. That's not an opinion, that is fact. The only reason the referendum wasn't voided and ordered to be held again was the referendum was advisory only, not binding.
But fuck it - I'm sick of the whole thing. I don't want to hear any whining from those who voted for it all when they all start suffering the consequences. The very fact that Consett voted Tory has to have set some alarm bells ringing though. I suspect targeted ads on Facebook spreading misinformation and downright lies. Almost 6000 political ads on Facebook by the Tories were found to have misleading information in them by an independent body. Do you know how many of Labour's ads were found to have lied? 0 - none - zilch - fuck all.
It isn't democracy, it's brain washing on a scale that the world has never seen before. This is how politics is done now. The mega-rich own the means of disseminating 'information' on a far larger scale than they used to and are using it en masse. They can identify actual individuals through social media and target them with personal ads to trigger their emotions and manipulate them into voting a certain way. There are no regulations governing this either.
I reckon we're going to be extinct within 5 generations anyway. We're fucking up the planet on a massive scale. Unless a huge cataclysm occurs in the galaxy that sends out a shockwave of gamma radiation, effectively destroying all complex life in its path before that.
But yeah until then I will laugh as the people of Consett wait for their promised riches to arrive. Fucking thick cunts. Glad I got out of the shithole.
