    .

    Or ignore London?

    I'd prefer to ignore the ultra right wing racist vote. It would've been a comfortable remain without them

    Well it might, but to be fair you would also have to ignore the ultra left wing socialist vote. Problem is, you cant chop lumps off the electorate to end up with the result you want.

    I'm not sure there was an ultra left wing socialist vote? In fact part of the problem was that long term labour working class voters jumped ship to vote with the extreme right wing UKIP anti immigrant brexiteers

    What are people's opionion on the relationship between Brexit and Zero Hour's Contracts (plus other "business friendly" actions)?

    Many people voted brexit because they (RIGHTLY) felt that globalisation/ full fledged capitalisation was not working for them. Not saying it would be right but if the govermenent has reigned in the abuse (and that is the right word) of people at the bottom of society would the vote have been different? That is something that is totally within the UK Goverment's control. Will it change after brexit, I fear not.

    Stolly afraid the result is the result (regardless of the margin) so we just have to live with it.

    I am not very comfortable about this. How would we like it if a criminal was up in court; that criminal was able to decide if what he done was a crime or not.

    Is is that different with a British Bill of Rights. Usually when a UK citizen goes to the European Court of Human rights the British Goverment is the defendant. With the British Bill of rights the Defendant gets to write the law.

    Don't understand why you'd object to a British bill of rights on this basis but not a European bill of rights. Countries and governments had to agree or ratify such laws in the first place.
