Gammon(s) is a racist and hate speech. Not surprised Mrs C uses the term. https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/what-does-gammon-mean
I wondered when that racist term would be thrown into the mix.
Because life in this country only existed post-1973.
But the Remain side cheated and were fined, my post on the Irish Border thread will enlighten you.
The Remain-backing Lib Dems were fine £18,000 by the Electoral Commission for spending irregularities: https://news.sky.com/story/liberal-democrats-fined-18000-over-eu-referendum-campaign-breaches-11177197 What was that you were saying about law breaking and cheating?
Well many Remoaners are now bitterly complaining that the EU referendum should have had a "supermajority" threshold of 66%, which would have scuppered Brexit. Which side are you on?
The referendum result was far more overwhelming because more than 70% of the UK electorate participated in the vote, and the number of ballots cast equalled more than is 50% of the entire UK population, including children and others ineligible to vote. It knocks that 6% into a cocked hat.

May, cynically and cowardly, announced her decision yesterday just as parliament breaks up for its long summer recess thus protecting her from a rebellion. She's bought herself a bit of time, but it won't save her political skin, come September the knives will be out and it really will be the end of her leadership. It will be good riddance to the lying, deceitful piece of manure.
Well not to worry Lynne, after the news today that Dominic Raab is being sidelined and Brexit negotations will be done by May personally, along with the unelected Olly Robbins pulling the strings, it looks like Brexit won't be happening at all. It's time for the pro-Brexit MPs to oust May and, to coin a phrase, take back control.
