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?)
Where am I saying Eton is a bad school? for £38k per year I would expect good education and personally, I'm all in favor for private education, all my children go to private schools (which are higher ranked than Eton btw) as the UK state school system is amongst the worst in the developed world.
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.
Hopefully that’ll help them shed any racist behaviours they’ve picked up from you.

"Probably"? On what grounds do you make that baseless accusation.
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!

No doubt he pays the exact amount, but what would be interesting is to know how much he would pay if he didn't avoid a lot of tax Probably you're one of those people saying how shameful it is that google, amazon, starbucks, facebook, etc hardly pay any tax in the uk
Being Etonian hardly qualifies as being someone of the people

I think you'll find that JRM pays exactly the correct amount of tax.
As for being a "man of the people"? What are the qualifications for that role and where does he not meet them?

Wait, you mean a partner in a hedge fund firm, who received vast sums of cash tax free via a Cayman Islands vehicle and doesn't declare it in the UK, is not entirely trustworthy?
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.
Did he do something illegal?
Are you suggesting that somehow because he didn't do something illegal he shouldn't be trusted?
