 Never heard remain talk about 'the will of the people'. That was reserved 
 for leavers who just thrive on catch phrases like 'leave means leave' and 
 'no deal is better than a bad deal' and so on. 
  
 Of course catch phrases are very much needed for many of the leave brigade 
 who tend to lose concentration after a sentence or so.
