    There is one sentence which makes passing reference to the stereotyping of various groups of people who Remain insists on blaming for its own mistakes. And you decided the only reasonable response was to reassure us that the stereotype was true for one of those groups, according to your inevitably limited experience of individuals you have encountered.

    Astonishing.

      So what I find utterly fascinating about this article is you posted it as if it was some kind of gotcha and it’s just one person’s opinion. There’s absolutely no evidence provided and the whole article concludes by basically saying that there’s no evidence for one belief or the other. So the ultimate conclusion to the article is that it could essentially not exist and everything would be exactly the same.

      The thing is, what the author of this article never really bothered to address, possibly because it would undo his own argument, is why the belief that farmers voted in massive numbers ever came about. Apparently according to him it isn’t even true so where did it come from?

      Your position is not backed up by any evidence.

        It’s a discussion of the polls of farmers, which fluctuated a great deal above and below 50% support.

        I posted it because Remain fucked up the campaign and now blames everyone but themselves. Which is exactly how and why they lost in the first place. Astonishing arrogance and spite.
