Perhaps they just rang the gong for dinner, at his friend EdM's palatial home?

We're confused, as two weeks previously, in public, on this very forum, you said you had no problem with an E.U. referendum, stating that it would 'settle this issue democratically'.
Why did you say that, then vote that we should be denied that democratic right two weeks later?

Have given this matter much thought, n i see it as a catch22, I probably wouldn't answer, if the answer was embarrassing to me! n if i thought me credibility was blown out the window. but thats just me.

Re: Did Graham Jones do the right thing?
Hang on here.. less than 50 people voted in this poll but somehow Garinda and the lap dogs have turned it into some massive poll of public opinion in Hydnburn with 50 voters.

Re: Did Graham Jones do the right thing?
Yes BG....well he would do wouldn't he?
Maybe Mancie goes around with his eyes and ears closed to general opinion.
This sample could only ever be a 'staw poll' but hey, let's not let that get in the way of what appears to be convincing evidence.
In case you hadn't noticed Mancie, this poll reflects much bigger ones that have been conducted elsewhere in the country by different organisations. (I'm sure G will be along shortly to give you links appropriate to the evidence - me? I have sausages to prick, grates to black lead and clinkers to poke)
Accyweb and Garinda are easy targets to have a pop at.....especially when all of us have gone to bed.

The Guardian, left-wing, and credible enough for you?
'Some 70% of voters want a vote on Britain's EU membership.'
EU referendum: poll shows 49% would vote for UK withdrawal | World news | The Guardian
Their poll, published the week before Graham Jones voted against an E.U. referendum, despite posting on here that he had no problem with one, showed that a massive 70% of the U.K. population are demanding the right to vote in a referendum.
Whether in an open vote, it was fifty, or fifty thousand people who took part, at just under 90%, it's a pretty clear indication as to what local people think up here. Perhaps it's different in your little bubble in south London.
The results of this poll also reflects the results of similar polls on AW over the years. Including the one started by a moderator on here, before I'd joined, which showed just under 80% would vote to leave the E.U.
The evidence is very clear, for those who want to see it.
I'm sure even you could if you tried.
Even if your little bubble's dripping in condensation.

Well, 'if' you plan on sticking around, I suggest not reading it.
It's going to be active for at least the next three and a half years.
Until the next General Election.

Re: Did Graham Jones do the right thing?
Groove...why don't you go and play in the traffic?
This is far more important than your inane, juvenile 'jokes'.
That you find it boring, says quite a lot about your mentality.

Don't worry.
Amazingly there's always some useful pin at hand, which can easily pop the bubble, some people choose to live in.

Funny Mancie, yeh made some daft comments in the early hours,but this must rank wi the daftest, unless of course yeh can provide evidence of a poll giving the opposite view? cos i sure as hell aint seen one.all the ones i have seen in media or tv,say exactly the same as the 50 on here. by the way using yer daft logic this wonderful government we got now has been elected by the same token.so come on show us yer not wrong provide the evidence.
