Bloody queue jumpers....
Alongside with age, how you voted in the EU Ref is the better predictor of you vote/view things according to the pollsters and social scientists.
You joke, but that would be quite a powerful symbol.
I have been expecting a survey to show that people who voted Leave are more likely to die from coronavirus...
Yes Its just him?
or Yes its getting .......
Actually, I am an admirer of Wilberforce. He was a brave man who did great things, but, was he flawed? OF course he fucking was. But so is everyone. Martin Luther King is implicated in gang rape. Gandhi as an old man slept with his teenage nieces. Churchill was a bigoted old drunk, Lincoln was a classical racist.
If you want to tear down every statue of every man or woman with a flaw we now find unacceptable, I genuinely think you would have no statues of anyone born before about 1990. And in ten years we will tearing down them, as well. In 2030 we will be attacking statues of Barack Obama and David Attenborough. It is insane.
Iconoclasm is a classic symptom of a society in crisis.
In this case, Leave vs Remain is most likely a proxy for Right vs Left, age, and/or whether or not you consider yourself part of a minority group.
Oh.
That's the hard core of British Trump supporters - 13-14%. Are they all Leave-voting Conservatives?
Well...
Also remember that
1) I would not do well in prison
2) The scandal would kill my mother
3) It would be a career ender and I like earning money
But saying the below might see you through
1) Morally it is the wrong thing to do
2) It would cause a lack of trust in the profession
3) There are no victimless crimes
Anecdata: it has gone away with my friends and rellies. For quite a while there was a serious division, bordering on poisonous, between Leavers and Remainers - amongst my friends and fam. Arguments that got so bad it nearly became never-speaking-to-you-again
But, it never got that bad. People pulled back. Now, as far as I can see, Remainers have accepted Brexit had to happen, and has happened, and they are adjusting; Leavers are pleased that it has happened, tho they ruefully accept it is not the Nirvana they hoped for, so far
I cannot remember the last Leave/Remain argument I personally witnessed. It is done.
This is a good thing, for the country. We don't want the divisions of America.

I am sure there is grist for the baying mob there
Remainers think Brexit is a disaster, which has been the greatest attack on their values.
That's why Brexit as a values issue isn't going to go away.
OGH is going to be unbearable.
Brexit was a shocking event with terrific consequences never to be forgotten despite clear risk to personal sanity.
Sorta like Prince Andrew's wedding? Or when Monica Lewinsky asked Bill Clinton, do you want anything else with your pizza?
I didn't try to dissuade him
It has been accepted, happily or sadly.
That is to say: tt has happened. Deal with it. That is the attitude. It will now cause bad things or good things. Some see it as like a natural disaster - cf the Asian Tsunami, almost completely negative, but we move on - some see it as a positive but now historic rupture - like the American Revolution (with a bit of Tsunami chucked in), again: we move on as an independent nation
A new generation is growing up with the UK outside the EU. The issue will go away for most people, it is already going away (even if we can anticipate years of page 7 stories of Brexit problems at the border). Brexit is now history.
Interesting to speculate after the fact, IF Uncle Joe's opponent would have done better - possibly enough to win - IF he'd dumped Mike Pence and substituted Nicki Haley?
Personally think the answer is, yes. Perhaps NOT enough to prevail, but then he didn't lose by all that much.
What with Winny’s bust being removed and the special relationship fucked, we may as well start looking out the cyanide pills.
In all seriousness I've never skied here - I've heard it's quite an experience compared to the Alps.
Leicester new favourites! 😊

I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'Cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong
I am invincible
I am woman
You can bend but never break me
'Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'Cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong
I am invincibe
I am woman

That's the second time in two days I've agreed with one of your posts.
I'm going to sign off for a bit.
"When my journal appears, many statues must come down."
It's almost as if pulling down statues has a venerable British history...
When that happens again there will be a campaign to rejoin, led by a Conservative and Unionist perhaps.
Bernie has the best seat at Anfield.
Without some context it feels like waffle.
1) Combatting a perceived weakness due to his own dodgy history with women;
2) Doubling down on Trump's pre-existing weakness among female voters; and
3) Political convenience, since large numbers in his own party clearly believed it was important.
Possibly a minor component of believing it was the "right" thing to do of his own accord, but it would still carry a lot more weight with me if he'd simply announced that Harris was the best person for the job. As I recall, there was some speculation at the time he'd privately committed to a BAME VP pick to shore up his primary chances in the South, which effectively means Harris had no competition beyond Stacey Abrams.
So you should get your Rejoin vote in ~25 years (which seems right: that's a generation). 2040 or so. Good luck - and I mean that genuinely.
Politics relies on people caring about unfashionable causes, and making them fashionable.
This is spot on.
I couldn’t give a fuck about Brexit anymore, I just want the whole thing to go away.
I hardly hear about it these days, among my friends, most of whom would have been known as “hardcore remoaners” on PB.
If anything Leavers mention it more, like they were stuck in the jungle and are still fighting the last war.
Enough.
But those kind of considerations are how every vice president has always been chosen.
Can't think of a time "the best person for the job" came into it.

We were told what they'd been asked. And I find the results rather interesting. It's interesting, for instance, to see what correlation (if any) there is between Remain/Leave and Labour/Conservative.
If the pollsters were to seek answers to refined questions, it's possible that the majority of respondents wouldn't understand quite what was being asked.
But we'll always look down on Leavers. That's for keeps.
And their children and grandchildren.
As to your three points, 1) is way overblown, but still a consideration, though outranked by 2) & 3).
Think the most important was actually
4) Tapping into a half century of feminism (as personified by the late, great Helen Reddy) as shared by a broad spectrum of American women, including many potential and ACTUAL swing voters who swung to Biden-Harris, especially among suburban voters in places like metro Atlanta and Phoenix.
There's a limit to what opinion polls can show. But don't we have to accept that there are such limits?
