    Bananas come from Asda, Lidl or Tesco.

    Bongo Bongo Land is where most Labour MPs in London trace back to on “Who Do You Think You Are?”

    Savanta ComRes poll finds that 53% want to rejoin the EU. Under 30's the figure is 77%.

    I'm afraid, like it or not, we'll need more like an overall 77% before the EU consider welcoming us back. Or do you think they want to spend the rest of time negotiating with us on leave then enter then leave etc?

    To be fair, it should have been either side needing 60 or 65% of the vote for the referendum result to go through.

    Like it was in 1975.
    Unfortunately, in future years the EEC changed, became the EU and the British people werent allowed a say.

    Agree or at least given how close it was we should have put the withdrawal agreement to a public vote.

    Was there not something similar for the Scottish referendum in the late 70s or was that to do with the turnout?

    Although I wouldn't have voted to leave and the referendum wasn't legally binding, there was no way they couldn't leave. The fault lies squarely at the feet of the remain campaign, they were far too complacent about winning. Their campaign to remain was at best almost non existent and at worst utterly pathetic.

    The result was 52:48!
    The turnover was only 64%

    Think the rules were changed only a few weeks or months before the referendum.

    The Act was repealed but there was another referendum in 1997.
    I believe in devolution but I think it has been botched financially.

    If they have a Scottish independence referendum they need to sort out all the effects before the referendum
    I think the Scots will want to claim all the assets and none of the liabilities
