    Or was he just voicing possible options, in the context of the debate that day?

    National Referendum on the European Union - Hansard

    Quite clearly he is saying there could be a three-way referendum, or two referenda, etc. that would be dealt with in the (at the time, a forthcoming bill) legislation...

    I.e. it’s up for discussion and agreement.
    (But then, you probably grabbed the vid from the Indy without any further fact-checking, right?)

    As for JRM, there’s a YouTube vid of him campaigning in South Shields...that takes a lot of bottle

    It's just you are so far removed from reality that you think that, let's say a working class person from Middlesbrough can relate to JRM in any way, yet you call him one of the people. And the other way around JRM will never be able to relate to a unemployed person living in a derelict coastal town.

    Being an old Etonian means that he has possibly received the best education that money can buy, one that instils leadership and I would suggest that given he doesn't need the MP salary he receives that he is more "of the people and for the people" than a lot of the other Honorable Members.

    Oi sas! Please come back. This tedious thick idiot bores me!

    Being Etonian hardly qualifies as being someone of the people

    As for being a "man of the people"? What are the qualifications for that role and where does he not meet them?

    But is he really a "man of the people" when his interests are clearly in his tax avoidance? There was an uproar when Cameron was found out doing it.

    Are you suggesting that somehow because he didn't do something illegal he shouldn't be trusted?

    A tax avoiding billionaire who will make a lot of money out of brexit that is.

    It's why I doubt he has any visions of becoming PM, there's no way he's giving all that up. His anti-EU rhetoric is about continuing his tax avoidance on that income rather than giving it up to become PM.
