So kind of you to match your monthly loo roll spend to help others x
Yes that is what I meant, although it wasn’t really me that meant it. The reason it’s stuck is because I read it used as a rebuttal to Farage referring to the Brexit referendum as the largest democratic exercise in Britain’s history.
Don’t trust the source.

Have the SNP ever stood in Corby just for bants like?
All it takes is the risk of a crackpot trot becoming prime minister to get the tories out voting in droves. Fortunately that could never happen again.
[can’t even be arsed with a safety wink here]
Thought this might be useful for some folks
You don’t want to mock Scottish referendums Joke. Some people here take them really seriously.
31,501 people voted for John Major in 1992 42,265 people voted for Diane Abbott in 2017

Including my dad. Woo!
(John Major planted a tree on our village green. It died within a year. Thanks John).
It feels like I ought to know why turnout dropped after 1992. But I realise I don’t.
The trend is upwards but not fully recovered from the hollowing out of neoliberalism AND I was trying to say that recovery in part is due to online discourse changing the state of activism The EU referendum had a high voting turnout
was it Tonty blair?
