With only a week to go until the UK holds a nationwide referendum on whether to remain in the European Union or go it alone, a Remain campaigner have put together a handy little table on Word of prominent leaders, British politicians, economists, historians, scientists and other significant people and organisations and their preferences for Britain to leave or stay. A quick perusal of the Leave side of the table does reveal some rather unsavoury supporters.
I should hasten to mention that as a news blog, the Half-Eaten Mind remains neutral in the debate, and supporters of both sides are encouraged to comment on this table. This is simply something to provoke discussion on a very sensitive and history defining topic, which will affect the UK and its people for a very long time.
The EU referendum takes place on the 23rd of June, 2016, with a similar format to a normal election, albeit with a simple two-question choice rather than a selection of candidates.

Bwahahahaha! I’m afraid this list was obviously put together by those who favor remaining; it’s just too funny to be considered a seriously accurate breakdown, other than to demonstrate the bias so clearly delineated. It only mentions people who are celebrities; there are NO members of the public actually represented in the list….
Sorry, but, to be even handed in reporting, a list prepared by Brexit organizers would give some balance, even if so obviously prejudiced as this one….
gigoid, the dubious, also a neutral, since I’m not a Brit…

Yes thats true. As far as I’m aware, this was a list put together by a Bremain activist, but if an official government list, then yes we’d expect a wider list of different voices. Thanks for your comment 🙂
