    I don't know how the optimum remain strategy would go, but what the mugs would actually do (I'm assuming they would assemble a crack team of Ian Dunt, Jolyon the Lawyer etc) is call everyone stupid again by urging them to reconsider now they have 'the facts'.

    Leave would have a tough job initially as they would once again need to get Deadly Dom on board and sideline the various morons that make up the public face of Leaving, but the silent majority would see them through in the end.

    The FACTS only have weight when you also admit that the European Union is involved in much more of our lives/politics than has ever been officially conceded ('It's only about trade!'), so that would be risky.

    They would also do loads of Trump/Putin messaging, which, like the Obama shite last time, would backfire.

    Let's have it, and then onto voting whether to bring back hanging.

    Elsewhere, lol at that Owen Smith bloke (if anyone remembers him) getting sacked to deflect from yet more anti-Semitism. Jezza defending the mural is quite funny as well. I believe that free speech covers racism, but he and everyone he's ever met doesn't, so lol at him using that as a defence, and lol out loud at the loser 'moderates' taking it up the chuff.

    He's changed his story to the tried-and-tested defence of being too stupid to know what he was doing. Which he is (he really fucking is), but that isn't great either.

    I don't know what you'd do with Remain besides actually campaigning. I assume Theresa May would be heading it. Stronger Together. Strong and Stable Government.

    Leave wins by a landslide. Plus some Remainians (Eurgh) might vote leave under the premise that we've started negotiations and we can't turn the car around.

    Leave wins easily at this point. People would be irritated about having to vote again after a decision was reached, and would vote accordingly.

    There won't be another referendum but quite a few people should be going to jail. As well as the Election Comission updating it's laws to take into account technological progress that happen after 1970.

    They were fine on the regulations, there is just a very small cabal of pro-EU die hards who WANT rules to have been broken.

    Isn't the wider point that the electoral commission had to take the (fairly ridiculous) position it did otherwise Remain would have been absolute toast on the expenditure front, as the quite excellent Deadly Dom is frequently at pains to point out? It would be beyond brilliant if Leave got done over by this latest bout of nonsense and then it turned out, on reflection, that Remain had spent millions through the government and through business that they really ought to have accounted for. Although, I suppose, at this point, misfeasance by either side might suffice for a declaration of invalidity in certain quarters.

    This Cadwalladr person is an absolutely ridiculous parody. She's just put this graphic up, there are no 'links' shown whatsoever. It's just a list of various right wing types she doesn't like.

    Carol Cadwalladr now calling for the select committee to drag Deadly Dom in for questioning. Why, does she want them to get donned all over again?

    It is total rubbish to suggest that this (gathering targeting data) is difficult for a political campaign, let alone impossible. It can be done, start to finish, in less than an hour by someone who knows what they are doing. When I go and give evidence to the DCMS, which sadly will have to await multiple legal actions, I could demo why they were lied to by getting someone to start from scratch on a laptop at the start of the session and shouting ‘finished’ when the DCMS is running its own targeted Facebook ad campaign with zero use of electoral data.
    Do it.

    I've never seen Remainers as sheep-like, evidence-free and hypocritical as in the case of this non-story. They just really want it to work but there's nothing in it whatsoever. I don't know why an editor would even put it out there.

    Club Jezza really does make the 'Cybernats' and the UKIP wallies who used to lurk the Telegraph blogs section look like they weren't even bothered. The sheer amount of obsession that goes into it is astonishing, and that's before you even get to the brain injuries. It's like The Sorcerer's Apprentice but with a communist Harold instead of a brush.

    The problem they have is he is old and useless, so when he has finally had enough, all they will have is a shitty left apparatus without the useless Christ figure to hold it all together.

    It's also in the nature of left wing politics to tear itself apart through infighting (as when you start off trying to be ideologically pure there will then inevitably be fights about who is purest) so that will be fun to watch.

    The Conservative Party winning the post-Brexit election would at this point probably be funnier than Brexit itself.

    Labour will win if they ditch Jeremy and his ilk and have a left-but-not-too-left uniting leader. People are fed up with public service cuts. If they keep the mentals, though, all bets are off.

    Ed West (I think) said months ago that he would go down as one of those pre-Rudy 9/11iani New York mayors who just sat around overseeing a warzone, but fuck knows who anybody goes about displacing him or the next Labour pleb. It's probably them until the end of time now like in Detroit or wherever.

    Well no politician 'causes' their own situations unless they are in power for years. With him it's the fact he does fuck all except posture on Twitter and try to position himself for leader. Strangely he's basically Boris mkII.

    He has power (and budget) over things that are limited to London - so crime and police, most transport, housing and planning, development, and loads of other boring shit no doubt.

    I am genuinely interested though if he's done anything markedly different as he's getting stick on Twitter as well. He's letting the muslamics take over there.

    I'm sure a statistician could blame today's changes on *counts back 18 years* Tony Blair.

    Well his most high profile move so far has been to try and ban Uber, so you can see where his priorities are (internal Labour politicking to get unions behind him).

    Faced with the acid attacks/moped attacks and sharp crime rise of the last two years, a strong mayor, so not him or Boris, would be out there every day barking about police cuts, increasing stop and search, and gripping the issue. He doesn't as there are too many special interest groups and community leaders to offend.

    And he called that a mistake and reversed his position. I'm anti-stop and search but I'm really not sure what you're criticising him for now. Just say you didn't know he'd changed his position which rendered your point moot. It's much easier than dragging up articles from 3 years ago. It's okay to be wrong on the internet occasionally.

    He probably actually talked to black mothers in London who all want stop and search increased.
