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 .

Everyone else I'm not sure about, the remain % is definitely higher than for the general population.

Hope I have everyone correct as to their referendum vote !

So, Richard Tyndall and I aren't even worthy of mention. (Sobs quietly.)

That survey is a swizz.
@Alanbrooke is also missing from Leave, as re those two Welsh posters. Edit: and @Ishmael_Z

It's a lot better than the survey you put up.

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.

This is true. Very grateful to Pulpstar for assembling the list, though questioning the conclusion!

JonnyJimmy said:

The_Apocalypse said:

Perhaps the list could have a third category - ‘Re-leavers’? As noted previously, Carlotta, HYUFD and also felix would likely go under that category.

The categories were how people voted in the referendum. There were only two options.

The referendum is over though now, so we can add categories that reflect how people’s minds might have changed.

@Pulpstar I think Cyclefree voted to Leave.

That might be true but she's never shared her vote and I entirely respect that.

I’m saying that because IIRC she’s said on here that she voted to Leave.

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.

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!)

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.

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*.

Sean T was also Leave.

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.

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.

Two of the above posters are banned.
