Leave voters demand probe into MI5's role in Referendum

Leave voters have expressed outrage over MI5's handling of its responsibilities during the ballot count on the 23rd of June.

The referendum- which ended in Britain's dramatic commitment to leave the EU- boasted the largest turnout of voters since the 1992 general election. However, many leave voters have expressed their utter horror that it was allowed to happen.

We spoke to David Jones of Tintagel who had this to say:
"I mean, I voted to go but I knew that we wouldn't actually be leaving. Rob down the pub said that MI5 would make sure we stayed in, so I decided to go for a protest vote because of the EU's meddling in our politics."

When questioned on specific examples of the meddling which drove him to leave he through for a moment and said: "Iraq war?"

Connie Bluth of Chesterfield wrote in to share her thoughts with us: "It's disgusting that in a modern democracy we can't even rely on the security services to rig a ballot in order to keep us safe. What do I let them read my e-mail for anyway?"

A Mr JB of MI5 (name not given for security reasons) helped us to shed some light on the issue: "Under most circumstances MI5 would have intervened and swung the election. However owing to a higher than normal number of inked ballots we have been utterly powerless to influence the outcome."

The situation reached a flash point earlier today when a new petition launched in order to demand the government launch an enquiry into MI5's conduct, and if it could have done more to protect the country from Brexit. It currently has 0 signatures, with comments suggesting potential signatories are waiting for it to close before determining if it was worth signing.

I genuinely dont get why leave voters say they voted Leave but they did not expect it to happen.It shows did not think of the consequences,they just voted to get back at the establishment.I honestly cant believe it.

If their surgeon was going to perform on them without planning it first,they would not go through with it.
Why cant they apply this same logic to the referendum? Its just an example of collective stupidity.

far from it, the original post was a case of hegemonic reasoning, created to influence public opinion who reads it, in lieu of the pursued goal. Here being that of Bremain, with these voters, supposedly voting leave because they knew it would be overturned. Whereas in fact no one did any thing of the sort, and quoting from a pub is not accurate reporting, so i knew that this was a fake article as soon as i read that.

It's satire, but some people absolutely did vote because they thought it wouldn't win.

Referendum settled it, MI5 owes its allegiance to the Queen, no the EU.



Leave voters owe them an apology, as we may need them for a next Scottish referendum.

don't you mean that they owe the leave voters one? (an apology)

Leave won?

yes, but according to you, this was not thanks to the fbi. in fact, according to you, the fbi actively intervened to counter prevent this course of events from happening. And it was only due to unforeseen voter turnout, that their plan fell amiss. So yes, if their loyalty is to the queen and not the eu, they really do need to say sorry with their tail between their legs!

I don't remember saying that, if anything MI5 may have intervened and saved us from the EU.

I believe there was something of a contretemps between the CIA (Obama was a Remainer) and MI5 in a car park in Sheffield
