Irony, thy name is Leave voters

Irony level is off the charts.

[Let's also not forget Farage's statement that a 52:48 split would be grounds for a second referendum in the event of a Remain win. That a Leave win of equal magnitude is in strong contrast the undeniable "will of the people" says quite a lot about the lack of thought processes going on here.]

The petition for a second EU referendum with 3 million signatures was started by a leave voter last month worried the remain camp would win. William Oliver Healey, an English Democrat activist, claims it has been "hijacked" and has tried to distance himself from what has become the largest petition of its kind in history.
