Tory peer Lord Ashcroft has decided to spend some of his money on focus groups around the UK to find out what undecided voters are thinking about the EU referendum.
Some of the comments back my supposition that Brexit supporters have chosen the wrong people to front their campaign.
One undecided voter said of former Tory education secretary Michael Gove – head of the campaign to leave the EU:
“After what he did to education I could hang him up by his bollocks”
Who said British voters are uninformed about politics?

…and then to publish only the comments he selected.

Reblogged this on Beastrabban’s Weblog and commented:
The article by Ashcroft from which the above comments were drawn argues that people are having a hard time making a decision about Brexit, and that this has been made harder by the cross-party nature of the arguments. Kinnock and some of the Labourites have joined Cameron in campaigning that we should stay in, is the example he gives. Actually, from the example given here of Michael Gove, the choice of people that the Brexit movement have chosen to front their campaign have made the decision much easier. As Mr Pride has shown in a very revealing post here, which I reblogged, the ‘Leave’ campaign is represented by some of the most noxious members of the Tory extreme Right. They’re largely people, who want to privatise the NHS and sell off everything else they can. For the profit of themselves and their corporate masters. Gove is symptomatic of them, but he’s not the worst pustule on the face of public politics that constitute the Brexit camp by any means.
But if nothing else, after his career as education secretary, Gove might be well advised to wear a box in public in future.
