They're a minority.

I'd have to interview every single voter to be sure. I'll tell you from personal experience, 98% of Americans against immigration reform/for stricter border control that I have met are absolute racists.

Well, yes. I have to admit that my sympathy for people believing even a single word coming from a populist's mouth is very limited. It may even be more limited since they're ruining it for all the people by setting off the equivalent of a nuclear device for the global market.

So, tough luck and have fun with your splendid isolation. The bankers already pack up and leave. It won't be too long until other businesses are following suit. As opposed to actual humans there are no immigration cap for companies anywhere in this world.

Even those that were originally hostile such as Ash and many national health services, including the NHS have since refuted this and given substantial evidence that it is rare for none smokers to take up vaping ....

At the time the EU made the claim to warrant the exception to Art,10 there wasn't any figures, so even if later figures had have supported the EU, which they don't, they still breached Art.10 as the grounds were not "Established" when they made the directive ...

No, what are the established legal grounds for banning an advertisement or for restricting free speech?

Nigel Farage admits that the Leave campaign's pledge that £350 million a week will go to the NHS is not guaranteed and it was a "mistake" to make that promise.

Talk to me about it in two years time, looking forward to you choking on your words. and by the way not all people who live in rural communities are thick.
