I said that a large number of people on both sides would have voted despite not knowing what they were actually voting for because they voted based on the headlines and soundbites. That's a true comment, most people don't understand that leaving the EU changes very little in terms of laws or Immigration yet those were the deciding factors for a lot of people who most likely didn't look into the actual issues of staying or leaving.

Expecting the public to make informed decisions based on research and impartiality is incredibly naive.

Is your first paragraph referring to Kizzy's post or your later one?

In the first instance, I'm aftaid that it WAS about me. I am a member of Joe Public.

In the second instance, it is ALSO about me, because you elected to QUOTE my post and COMMENT upon it.

Your claim that I am tarring myself with the same brush is totally ludicrous Dezzy.

The demeaning post which I rightfully objected to did not state; "Joe Public but excluding Kirk".

I need NO excuse to be outraged by some of the posts on here which repeatedly demean Brexit voters as being stupid, clueless, ill informed or worse.

The text which I have emboldened is redundant if you are addressing that to me Dezzy, because I have never stated ANYWHERE any opinion which contradicts what you say in it, and that is because I AGREE with you. Some people on BOTH sides DID vote after being persuaded by sound bites and headlines.

However, SOME people is a far cry from all 'Joe Public' - which IS what I responded to.

I will take exception to your claims below however:

"most people don't understand that leaving the EU changes very little in terms of laws or Immigration yet those were the deciding factors for a lot of people who most likely didn't look into the actual issues of staying or leaving."

Simply because NO ONE KNOWS just WHAT existing actualities will or will not be affected or changed by Brexit. We have NOT even Brexited proper yet, and the WHATEVER plans the Government is working on is not being revealed to anyone.
