That was probably so close to the reality of Dave's wonderful recent negotiation.

Having what appears to my biased eyes a blitzkrieg of BBC/SKY reporting favouring the REMAIN message I am not hopeful.

Anyway in an attempt to be magnanimous I will try, following what I expect to be a narrow defeat, to be positive and move on......

But if, against my personal expectations, we do swing it can I ask that you forget all this 'mature good winner' stuff and drown us all with 3 days of these wonderful pictures please. My congratulations - you have made the last few days more enjoyable

Nor Johnson, Corbyn and many others. The only prominent campaigner that believes every word they say is Farage, and he's holding back on a fair bit.

This is one of the things that annoys me about all this - politicians, and prominent ones at that, changing their mind at the drop of a hat. Cameron with those comments from just 7 months ago. Johnson who used to be pro-EU, Corbyn who was anti-EU for years. Farage as you say is one of only a few that appears to have stayed on the same side throughout and I struggle to take him particularly seriously. I'm voting out tomorrow but I stopped listening to most of the high profile figures on this ages ago. Maybe Pam can make a last minute bid to change my mind ;)

No they fucking aren't. You don't listen do you, you stupid bigot. You need to see a Dr before you do yourself some serious damage, ask for a paper bag to blow into. I'm done with this thread because your constant shite has ruined it.

wasn't it you who said they were worried about their kids future because of all the immigrants in your area?
 
Working for an councillor in Chester today who's in favour of staying in, he said to me that remain will win but only because the out voters won't be arsed going to vote, not that I know fuck all about politics but what he was saying to me came across as a complete load of bollocks to be honest, nothing unusual for a councilor i suppose, did make a decent brew though so fair play to him
 
I'm just sick of hearing about it to be honest. But I know that whatever the result this is still gonna be talked about for months and months to come.

Good point. I wish the people who had changed their minds at the last minute should keep quiet and not jump on the referendum bandwagon.

Farage said what he believed and even corrected exaggerations about EU contributions from a Daily Telegraph Journo on Qurstion Time the other week. It could have been his finest hour but whichever way the vote goes he overcooked the immigration arguments, when the public knew this was a big issue anyway!

“Britain is an amazing country. We’ve got the fifth largest economy in the world. We’re a top ten manufacturer. We’ve got incredibly strong financial services. The world wants to come and do business here.
Look at the record of inward investment. Look at the leaders beating the path to our door to come and see what’s happening with this great country’s economy.
The argument isn’t whether Britain could survive outside the EU.
Of course it could.”
DAVID CAMERON – November 2015

There are quotes from Boris that he doesn't support an out vote from last year too.

I agree and if the scaremongering has come from anyone its the remain side...jeez how desperate has Cameron become ? today our holidays and shopping bills will go up if we vote out oh and anyone that votes out is immoral according to cameron

Plenty of scaremongering from the out camp about immigrants, Turkey joining, loss of identity etc.

How about Oceania and North America? Why isn't the EU growing as much as them?

Because you are not sitting on an empty country chock full of minerals , surrounded by gas and with farms the size of Belgium. With the worlds biggest country to your north desperately needing exactly those things.

As for North America a younger population, immigration, natural resource , shale oil, lower wages, less labour protection, more entrepreneurship, there are many reasons

Garbage!. The fucker told the court that traitors should die and put Britain first. He was saying the same thing when he was stabbing, shooting and kicking a person to death because she didnt happen to agree with him and wasn't an ill--informed, poorly educated, cringe-worthy Little Englander. Meanwhile, cunty UKIP are erecting posters bearing an uncanny similarity to posters the Nazis used as Hitler was coming to power. You would defend these twats whatever happens, it seems?! You're scraping the bottom of the barrel. If she didn't die for her political beliefs, what did she die for?

I have observed that several posters have commented on how you just shoot your mouth off before/without engaging any brain you may have. Several seem to keep asking things like "...did you even read..........." I will add myself to that list.

I was saying yes - she was murdered because of her political beliefs and actions and yes - the nutjob that murdered her was a fucking extreme scumbag with serious mental issues who murdered her because of her beliefs and actions.

But when you consider that her beliefs and actions - very laudable indeed - have been going on for years and his extreme views and mental issues have been going on for longer - some of the extreme publications that he had dated back 15 years - this sickening crime was not 'because of the leave campaign' FFS.

What I was (and am) saying was that her actions and his issues predated this referendum decision and only people of the shallowest intellect/principles/morals would be so crass as to link such a tragedy to the referendum - you have proven that point I think

Well I'm voting IN as are the majority of people I know. I'm not a bigot though, can understand both sides to the argument. Just think a lot of the Brexiters have ulterior motives which is sad!
