    I can't remember. I've slept since then.

    It would be hypocritical in the extreme, though, for you to vote for a party knowing that you are voting for a known IRA sympathiser to represent you.
    One might throw similar accusations at anyone voting for a Labour candidate given their anti semitic problems within the party.

    No and why should I. I will not be casting my vote in the North West.

    The anti semitic one
    The anti Brexit one
    Or the Momentum one

    I don't think I have ever said that. I have my reasons for wanting to leave the EU and I never saw any of them pasted on the side of a bus or anywhere else. I made my mind up about leaving long before the referendum was even twinkle in David Cameron's eye.
