Remainers conveniently manipulate the referendum result to make it appear that in view of the closeness of the result, that the odd half-truth (which is the norm in our politically idiotic system) somehow invalidates the whole process. It is much nearer the truth to say that if London hadn't voted 59.9% for Remain no one would be even contemplating stopping Brexit or re-running the referendum. Truth is no-one gives a flying fkcu about the 62% in Scotland or the 55.8% in Northern Ireland who wanted to remain. I'm not saying that's right or fair or that I agree with that view, but that's where the power lies. London matters, the rest of the country might as well ring in sick.

The North West of England voted 53.7% to Leave.
The East of England were 56.5% Leave.
West Midlands was 59.3%.
Yorkshire and Humberside was 57.7%.
East Midlands went 58.8%.
The North East was 58.6%.

That isn't cosy middle England. It isn't Tory hobbit-like shires. It's the old manufacturing heart of the country backed by Wales too! In the twelve areas of the UK into which the BBC split the vote the result was 9-3 for Leave. 9-3 ..... every football fan can see why it's a score Scotland would like to forget.

In truth only a metropolitan elite which benefits in every way from investment and development, a nation which wants out of the UK and should have its own independence, and a bit of Ireland which should be part of a nation which IS in the EU voted to stay. It's not much of an argument for claiming the referendum was manipulated by mysterious forces.

I can see why Mr Corbyn hesitates. There is a huge divide between vociferous middle-class Labour activists and the working class. He knows he's walking on eggshells as much as Mrs May is treading hot coals.
