          I think your generalisation goes further to explain it, than 1 'media org'.

          Go on - tell us how 17 million people are all thick, and that you (and others) know better....

          Then ask yourself if the vote, was at least in part, a rebellious act by some of the public - against such people with similar views of contempt

              So out of all the organisations publishing, he chooses one that supports moon landing hoax articles? SMFH.

              An org, that you publicly stated anyone believing figures from it was an idiot?

              He is trying to link to articles that say the UK will pay more and more, so he's not in need of a Brexit-supporting paper - or did you miss that?

                Are all 17 million thick? No. Is there a correlation between being thick and supporting Brexit? It would appear so.

                Differences in Numeracy and Thinking Styles

                When compared with Remain voters, Leave voters displayed significantly lower levels of numeracy, reasoning and appeared more reliant on impulsive ‘System 1’ thinking. In all three areas, older voters performed significantly worse than young voters intending to vote the same way.



                Graph showing Berlin Numeracy Test results with Remain voters achieving consistently better results. Note the effect of age on numerical literacy.




                Graph showing Cognitive Reflection Test scores, with Remain voters achieving consistently better results. As with numeracy, note how performance declines with age.



                Graph showing the results of logical and abstract reasoning tasks with Remain voters achieving consistently better results. As with numeracy and cognitive reflection, note how performance declines with age.
