There's something very Blairite, very false, about this "people's" vote nonsense.
What it actually proves is that democracy is a lousy determinant of what actually happened in History.
I suspect that if you were to stop a hundred people at random in a British street a very high proportion, certainly a majority, would say that Spitfires won the battle/war. Very few would know that actually Hurricanes shot down more enemy aircraft than Spitfires ever did in the BoB.
I still think we should have a life-sized cardboard cutout of Section Officer Harvey though.
