If only the entire world shoving economic studies and projections based on policy into England’s face was enough to curb the misplaced and confused xenophobia that drove Brexit.

Free speech sucks when it doesn’t go your way huh?

That website was the worst thing I’ve seen for a while on mobile. Couldn’t make it past the pop ups even after a decent attempt

You know you done fucked up when even your partisan viewerbase thinks things have gone horribly fucking wrong.

Quick check of the article shows what was already obvious here. Someone with reach tweeted the link to their largely pro-EU followers, who then did the thing and hijacked the poll to amusing effect.
Headline is likely a bit misleading though.

The original poll was locked behind a pay wall, which is arguably less representative than what they ended up with. And even with the poll limited to those paying for GB News, who one would expect to skew right politically, it showed a third of that sample would still want to rejoin.

I mean, polls on less fundamentalist outlets have shown similar polls.

How can you be so sure it's not genuine? Brexit has absolutely fucked Britain and the conservative party is a fucking mess
