The Geordie chippies fry them in beef dripping, do they not ?

Having said that though, most Scottish chippies knock English ones into a cocked hat. Tasty haddock, not bland -tasting cod. Black pudding and haggis suppers. Deep-fried Mars bars.

Mmmmmmmm.

Dunno. Sweaty Betty's in Durham City used to, but we went there after a number of pints in the Dun Cow, so...

Beamish Museum still has a coal-fired beef dripping chippy, and the queues stretch for miles.

Round the corner from us, the chippy there does beef and suet pudding. Imagine a Greggs steak bake made out of lead.

I'd say "surprisingly tasty", but they're not.

The Brexit fuckwits are seeping back still unable to find an answer to the most basic questions despite O'Brein asking them for nearly a decade.
Is Clacton gran who voted Brexit to have fish and chips in newspaper still alive? This man is nearly as stupid.

It would seem that any old raving lunatic can write shit for the Torygraph these days

Ten years, and Brexit for Northern Ireland hasn’t happened. It’s time for a hard line

The country remains subjugated under the jackboot of the EU. That is a constitutional outrage which must be remedied

So concerned is she that NI is missing out on Brexshit, she completely overlooks the fact that the majority of voters in NI actually voted to remain.

An estimated 4.5m UK people who were aged 65 or over in 2016 have died in the decade since.

Turnout for Brexit for 65+ was 80%.

This translates to 3.6m votes cast by 65+

65+ voted 60-40 leave which translates to 2.16m leave, 1.44m remain

These figures taken off the votes cast results in 15.2m leave and 14.7m remain.

A 500k difference, or 50.8 % v 50.2%.

Albeit anecdotally, I've not heard a single person say they would switch to leave from remain but a hell of a lot the other way. And yet here we are.

When the voting patterns of people who have turned 18 in the past decade, the number crunching results in a one percent annual net gain for Remain. The opinion polls reflect this if we assume most people haven't changed their minds.
