Just to add my voice to those imploring @Beverley_C to stay.
This place is already over-infested by (male) PB Tories. As I said, Labour is now utterly mainstream if you are under 50. If you can’t deal with that, or seek to understand why people might be attracted by Corbyn, you are simply masturbating.
I wonder what the percentage of posters on here are leave and remain,it seems in recent times the site has been taken over by the pro EU lobby.
Sorry to see Bev go but you must have thick skin on here some days and not give up,we all have had had those days .
From this thread and the previous I make it vote in the referendum as follows:

I've just been trying to make my website GDRP compatible. Can someone with technical knowledge tell me if the following from my cookie policy is correct?
What are cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of dough that get placed on the computer's processor during times of high load, such as looking at dodgy walking websites on the 'net. The first time you visit a site, a new piece of dough is put onto the processor, and a load of personal information is baked within it. The next time you visit, that information is used to recognise you and operate your webcam.
The cookies are collected at night by black operatives, who break into your home, open up your computer, and take them back to MI5/CIA/SVR RF. If you ever find crumbs by your desk in the morning, it might be because the operatives got a little hungry and ate the cookies. They are also responsible for placing new dough in your computer, making coffee rings on your desks and draining ink out of your printers (HP, Lexmark and Canon all have sponsorship deals with the operatives).
The performance of your computer may suffer it stores too many cookies. For this reason, please make the operatives' job easier and leave windows open and doors unlocked. They also quite like a beer, so (for UK readers) a nice bottle of ale should be left within easy reach of your computer each night.
Can some clever person produce a graph with left - right on the X-axis, leave - remain on the Y-axis, and PBers' names in little bubbles in the appropriate places?

I think that right of centre Remainers are far more heavily represented here than in the general population, left of centre Remainers are much less heavily represented,
Yes, I think that's a very fair point. I consider myself to be on the right-wing of the Liberal Democrats so would consider myself a right of centre Remainer - even if only marginally right of centre.
Geoffw, GIN1138, Sandpit, TonyE, TwistedFireStopper, Nigel4England, Isam, Freetochoose, SeanT... all Leave, I believe.

Mark Senior was remain and one of the most astute posters here, yes. Sadly departed, as such I'm not going to add his name to the list but will add a +1 to the remain count.

BBB – Bring Back Beverley
She was not kicked out. She chose to go. Because of some rather offensive comments about what the Irish did during WW2 which seemed OTT and unnecessary. I hope she comes back. But it's her call.
I thought the Jews remark was particularly obnoxious.
As for WW2, it just shows how dementedly stuck in the past some of the PB Tories are.
Frankly, the world would be much shitter without the Irish.

Can you add a column for Russian stooges for LuckyGuy?
Mr. Pulpstar, ha, I've sometimes had fun playing the "Find the bet I made nine months ago" game.
On GDPR, sounds like the VATmess and the antiquities legislation that Mr. Mortimer is less than thrilled about. What's the name of the bureaucratic Jamaican in Futurama? It does sometimes feel like the EU cloned him, accidentally lobotomising all the clones.

In my experience, it's much more common to read social media in which left wing voters get berated by other left wingers for voting against the social democracy provided by the EU, rather than blogs such as this where right wing Leavers get criticised for voting against the interests of the City and multinationals.

When I posted down thread I did say the word "recent" stick to your guns pulstar and only posters you have seen on here in the last few months.
Otherwise we will have a majority leave just like the referendum if you count everyone who post here.
Perhaps the list could have a third category - ‘Re-leavers’? As noted previously, Carlotta, HYUFD and also felix would likely go under that category.
I would vote Remain in a second Referendum but would prefer to accept the original result. It just seems like cheating otherwise. In my defence the result has cost me financially - as the Spanish don't say 'C'est la vie'
The referendum's over, so you want a people's vote survey instead?
It’d be interesting to find out where we all stance at the moment.
Agreed - I believe a few have switched Remain to Leave on the "it's will of the people" argument. (Not I though!)
Sadly, we don’t seem to have a single Leave to Remain switch.
Hopefully Big G will delight us when he returns from the Med, although in his case it will be switching *back*.
Indeed. A few in the "given the way the government are cocking Brexit up, we might as well have stayed in" camp though... which I read as "I realise I got it wrong but I'm going to blame HMG"
A day at the dogs and PB Tories are back to their bad old ways . I wrote a congratulatory post to Beverley this morning on being the first person able to explain why we were all getting emails asking us to tick boxes urgently but I got distracted and didn't send.
Come back Bev. We're short of clever people who zig when everyone else zags.

If there's one thing on PB which seems to have accelerated in recent years it's how party allegiance really doesn't mean much any more.
I found it curious that BevC who I would have described as more of a centrist suddenly jumped into a smash the state, break the mould advocate. Oddly no different from myself in many ways but she jumped left whereas I jumped right. Hence my main motivation for voting Leave.

Two of the above posters are banned.
Are they? Which two?
Off the top of my head, nigel4england and isam.
Thanks
@Pulpstar I agree it makes sense to exclude those no longer posting or banned. Thanks once again for the list.
I today exchanged on a property, so in three weeks' time I shall (for the second time in my life) be an Essex boy. I have a feeling that means that train timetable analogies will be becoming altogether more real.
Congratulations!
@Pulpstar - I would be flattered to be included in your electoral roll of PB. Particularly as I voted Leave twice.
You can count me as another advocate for Beverley's immediate reinstatement. Garden makes a good point about the demographic here – it is not a safe space for male conservatives, although sometimes it does indeed read that way.
BBB – Bring Back Beverley
She was not kicked out. She chose to go. Because of some rather offensive comments about what the Irish did during WW2 which seemed OTT and unnecessary. I hope she comes back. But it's her call.
I thought the Jews remark was particularly obnoxious.
As for WW2, it just shows how dementedly stuck in the past some of the PB Tories are.
Frankly, the world would be much shitter without the Irish.
aw shucks GW
I didn't know you cared
This country would be in the shits if it wasn't for our Irish military leadership of ww2.

I'm a Leaver.
I was unsure during the EUref but I'm much more sure now.
The EU is intransigent, anti-democratic, elitist, out of touch and incapable of sensible compromise. All things I dislike.
I do think Theresa May* is shit though. Always have done; always will.
*Shit**, but not dangerous. I think Corbyn is dangerous.
**It is, though, rarely remarked upon that the Tories polling vote share under May has been consistently 10% above Cameron's. Such is the strange world we live in.

Not wanting to speak ill of the dead, Mark Senior was very good indeed on local LibDemmery, lost it somewhat when talking of their prospects nationally - and famously lost a gold sovereign betting against there being a recession in 2007/08!

"Since the referendum around 1.2m electors have died, while 1.4m have joined the electorate. If we extrapolate from YouGov’s data from the youngest and oldest voters, and take account of variations in turnout by age, then I reckon that around 600,000 Leave voters, and 300,000 Remain voters have died; while 650,000 young Remainers and 150,000 Leave supporters have joined the voting population. Combine these figures, and these demographic factors have given us 350,000 extra Remain voters and 450,000 fewer Leave voters."

My hunch is a general U-shape.
Up to 35 remain vs 29 leave.
(although I personally think the keeping of lists like this is somewhat ominous!)

UK Government’s approach to Brexit negotiations.
@Pulpstar I agree it makes sense to exclude those no longer posting or banned. Thanks once again for the list.
@Pulpstar - I would be flattered to be included in your electoral roll of PB. Particularly as I voted Leave twice.
I was unsure during the EUref but I'm much more sure now.
The EU is intransigent, anti-democratic, elitist, out of touch and incapable of sensible compromise. All things I dislike.
I do think Theresa May* is shit though. Always have done; always will.
*Shit**, but not dangerous. I think Corbyn is dangerous.
**It is, though, rarely remarked upon that the Tories polling vote share under May has been consistently 10% above Cameron's. Such is the strange world we live in.
However, trying to make my little website GDPR compatible (and even trying to work out if I should) is rather putting me off the EU ...
Because plain infested really wouldn't have said it strongly enough.
