Bob Geldof on the Thames?  Eddie Izzard's infamous Question Time appearance?  George Osborne scaring British pensioners?

For me, it was the despicable exploitation of Jo Cox's murder.

the osborne threat.

i found both sides equally dismal in this so called debate. the debacle on the thames with two rich men each telling us they knew what was best for us the low point of the whole show. i nearly didnt vote at all because of this but in the end couldnt let osborne's threat go unpunished in my small way.

Osborne.

I got the impression that Cameron had actually convinced himself that he believed what he was saying. Osborne knew he was lying and was positively revelling in it.

If campaigns meant anything we'd have voted to remain.
The remain side held and implemented all the tools needed to mislead us and still they failed.

I think politicians make too much of their campaign efforts, and too little of the public's ability to see through them.
Report Kit-Kat-Dan June 24, 2016 8:16 PM BST
I've been a committed leave voter since a referendum was first muted but if someone, anyone, had given reasonable and believable reasons why we should remain, I would have been willing to reconsider. All we've been given by politicians, media folk and celebs is scare story after scare story and accusations of racism and bigotry, not one positive outlook.

I don't buy The Mirror or The Sun but yesterday's front covers summed up the last 6 months perfectly. One had a bright sunny new dawn and the other had a bottomless black hole to signify possible the future facing us from today.

My name is Dan, I voted Leave and I'm a racist. Apparently.

Many good reasons above. Remain were a shocking bunch.
Never mind the lies and threats from Cambourne, they had so many t*ss*rs Alistair Campbell, Salmond, the Green woman.
The last two weeks, and especially the Cox exploitation thing, were disgusting.
Their debating style was shouty and rude, playing the man not the ball.
Even that thing where they waited to the last day to try and smear Leave because one of their donators had apparently been signed up to the BNP by her husband a decade ago, that's gutter politics.
I'm so glad they lost.

I was a leave voter for 51 weeks of the last year but the literature I received from the leave side meant I could not vote for them because the leaflets I read were not only weak of any argument but smacked of scaremongering and were based on what I believe were untruths.
I watched the tv debates during the last week and felt the same.
I heard one of the senior leave mps who has been a euro sceptic all his political life say today he would have accepted defeat gracefully if they lost by a single vote and the question about the eu would be forever ended in his mind. But only yesterday the leave side were making excuses for what at that time looked likely to be defeat when they claimed mi5 were acting in the background and would not allow a leave win to happen. Stories of taking their own pens to vote were the last straw for me.

Th main thing that swung it for was the stomach churning bias of the TV companies who ran a campaign clearly aimed at influencing voter opinion for Remain whilst trying to appear to be neutral. Their negative reactions and coverage of the result today shows how heavily biased they were.

The Boaty McBoatface incident where free thinking and democracy was dashed by the establishment.

I reckon it was the same for many people with the referendum - and consequently the future of Europe and possibly the world has been affected by 'Boaty'.
