Well it is 3 actually, so 3 out of 21 is 14.2%
Now 14.2% of quitters (17,410,742) is 2,472,325
And the difference between quitters and remainers was 1,269,501
If only those quitters that did not know what they were doing, had a clue.
The majority would have been for remaining, by about the same margin.
Nigel would still be out there campaigning for a rerun referendum.
Say no more!

The EU has.
IMO that's even better, because if you only try to clamp down on crooks in one place, they will try to move to a more crook-friendly place.
A while ago, Theresa was threatening to make the UK an offshore tax-haven, but she's gone quiet on that threat recently.

where Theresa's attempt to protect tax-dodgers was defeated.
Hooray for the supremacy of parliament, eh? And the weakness and instability of the Tory government.
I'm pleased to say that other UK citizens with a social conscience are also trying to keep the problem of tax-dodging alive in the public eye.

Funnily enough it doesn't get mentioned much in the Mail, the Express. the Stun or the Times. Can you think of any reason why not?

How do you know? -do you avidly read those papers?
"Thames Water, for example, has not paid corporation tax in the UK despite a £1.8bn turnover and shareholders banking £1.2bn in dividends over the past 10 years."
well, fancy that.
well, fancy that.
"The public accounts committee has also moved away from scrutinising big companies’ tax affairs since Margaret Hodge stepped down as its chair in 2015.
During her time at the Commons spending watchdog Hodge forced corporate tax avoidance and the failings of HM Revenue and Customs to the top of the political agenda, calling the head of Google UK and top managers from Starbucks and Amazon to appear before MPs. She even urged consumers to boycott Starbucks after it emerged the coffee chain had paid just £8.6m in taxes on a reported £3bn in UK sales since 1998."

"The French president Emmanuel Macron has warned a gathering of global tech bosses – including Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg – that they cannot ride the coattails of the digital economy without giving back to society."
"Fresh from apologising to European lawmakers in Brussels, Zuckerberg held an hour of talks with Macron in which his company’s tax policies were believed to be among key topics discussed."

I see the latest yougov poll has been published and it shows the biggest gap since the referendum...
47% against the Brexit decision, with 40% in favour.
At what point would it be wise to see if the 'will of the people' has changed?

"The cabinet’s shocking failure over two wasted years to resolve anything means that the baton passes to MPs. As rival cabinet groups debate impossible options that are not seen as viable by EU negotiators, nothing has changed, and still the clock ticks down to the 28 June summit in Brussels.
On this epoch-defining issue there is no government at the helm. Even Conservative party members say so; two-thirds told ConservativeHome they had lost confidence in their government’s handling of Brexit. "
"To gauge the level of change, one need only note the growing fury of the Brexiters. Jumping up and down like raging Rumpelstiltskins, they sense the argument is slipping away."
"Cue apoplectic indignation from the Daily Mail, which calls the report “project fear on speed … tendentious rubbish”. It sneers at this report as emanating from Whitehall. But always remember that it was David Davis who commissioned it from the civil servants he appointed to his department. This was not even their worst prediction for the no-deal walkout favoured by the Rees-Moggites. Indeed, the worse the picture that emerges from every industry, the Bank of England, research scientists, the NHS, security and crime agencies – everywhere that matters – the more the Rees-Moggites rage with their fingers-in-the-ears, no-deal denial. They seem to be losing it, in every sense."
"Some remainers fret about a people’s vote but tellingly, it’s the leavers who fear that vote most."

But does the Labour Party? I'm just wondering if they got in would it be like swapping one load of crooks for another?
see page 9 of the manifesto "tax avoidance" and "crack down on loopholes." https://labour.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/labour-manifesto-2017.pdf
page 14 - not giving public sector contracts to tax-dodging companies
and page 122 "tax havens"
It's worth noting that Theresa's attempt to protect tax-dodgers and tax-havens was defeated by Labour with the help of those Tory MPs unsympathetic to crooks.
