Were apparently bankrolled by an American businessman by the name of Robert Mercer (more about him later if I have time). Who subsequently made £690 million as a result of Brexit.
His donations were never declared by leave.eu, which is against electoral law.
It is also illegal to accept donations from a non UK citizen.
Clearly the referendum should be declared null and void and we should have another go
Good work Rjk. These outside influences include the proprietors of the right wing rags. Either way its over to the Brexit lot. This is what they wanted so lets see what mess they make of it. They will still end up blaming Blair,immigrants and Brussels.

Here is an illustration of why the western world is probably in trouble.
The poster is absolutely correct, but this 'stuff' now gets explained away in a matter-of-fact manner as if it is normal/expected/OK, and half the audience will choose to remain sceptical, and the other half will say 'well .. whaddya gonna do ..'.
Crazy times.
.. whaddya gonna do ..
I don't know. The jack is out of the box.
Re: your last sentence. It is hard to tell how much of 'the peoples choice' is influenced by whichever bullshit campaign prevails at any given time, but I sorely doubt that the majority of people are thinking for themselves so very much nowadays.
No mention of the Democrats directly vetting and amending articles that appear in the MSM? Even the Director of the FBI said yesterday that publications such as the New York Times and the Washington Post cannot be trusted for factual information. I think this Mercer fella is the least of our problems.
Yep its targetting a selected audience and the opposition can't do anything about it as they won't be aware of it. It shows Brexiteers as suckers though. They resented Obama's interference during the Referendum campaign yet another American was interfering and his money was pulling strings from behind the scenes.
^^ There was lot's and lot's of Bullsh1t from both 'sides'.
It has been quite clear since very very soon after the referendum that many people did not fully comprehend what they were voting for/against.
There's a new political come comedy programme on Dave hosted by Matt Forde who analysed the Great Repeal Bill amongst several Brexit strands. Apparently we left the EU because we didn't feel as if the UK parliament was sovereign, despite no one being able to give an accurate idea of how regulations come through the EU, and the way to stop this feeling of lacking control is to have the UK government impose new regulations, thus taking away the power of the UK parliament to debate, discuss and vote on behalf of their constituents.
There was also an Independent article which demonstrated that people feelings on matters is inaccurate to what statistics suggest is actually going on.
MEPs can get legislative proposals blocked or withdrawn.
" remain " Voters still whining about the result i see and even more funnier they are still calling the " leave votes " idiots, at least they have stopped saying they are " racist " though
