Fatima Manji for Channel 4 News reveals “Brexit-backer Arron Banks repeatedly denied that Leave.EU appealed to National Front supporters – in a bid to get the BBC to drop an investigation”.
I struggle to find something to say that makes any sense of what Leave.EU have been able to get away with. I keep returning to the idea that the logic of what has been done cannot be unpicked.
You can do as Fatima Manji has done, and dismantle the lie, prove the footage has been faked, that the story being told is a fiction. It makes no difference. The perpetrators deny the accusation with accusation, belittling the question with the gall of a playground bully. You can offer as much proof as you like, you can never shake the resolve of the faithful.
These aren’t confrontations between two logics, it’s a war between empiricism and faith, and faith will always win.
Christopher Wylie on Twitter. Why is this fact, that leave cheated during the referendum, not part of the discussion around the British Exit of the European Union? Why is this not put forward as the reason we need another vote by those arguing for a people’s vote?
Please someone explain to me how, after this news, the “result” of the referendum can be allowed to stand?

It looks to me like the leave side cheated, enhancing their campaign like an athlete shooting steroids. An athletes caught cheating is stripped of their medal.
Why not the same for the leave campaign? At the very least there should be another referendum, another vote.
If you’re so sure you are right, and the people of this country really want to leave the European Union, have another vote. I dare you. I double-dare you.
You won’t because you know you’ll loose. You won by wilfully cheating. Where is your shame?
