So basically, if we leave the rest of the world is going to feck their selves over to spite us?
Germany is going to play the prick with it's third largest export market?
Not far off the pound would collapse and plague and famine reach our shores if we didn't join the Euro are we?

How come then we still have around a million unemployed and that fails to take into account the number of youth who would normally have been on the market but pushed into 'further education''?

No, it just says the world economy would suffer from the exit of the small bit part player the UK and the remainians say they will all not want to trade with us or sort things out because of a bout of tantrum throwing.
I'd expect the Poles and other like countries in the EU to take that position but not the Spanish, German and even the French for that matter, the ones that are important to us.

I don't know, but it can't be because all the jobs are filled by immigrants which was YOUR contention. There are 745,000 vacancies!

Not my view point worthy, just saying what remainians are peddling, we are small, insignificant and they can, at a whim, just brush us aside, so we have to stay in.

Interesting polls at the moment. 1 shows Remain 4 points ahead, another shows it even Stevens and ICM I think it was, showed Out ahead by 3 points. It's gonna be a looooong 3 weeks.

It's one of those rare moments in politics where you see politicians from different parties and backgrounds sharing the same platform. Seeing Cameron bigging up a bloke yesterday, who he was deriding as a friend to terrorists the week before left me a bit uncomfortable though. Of the two of them, I'm not sure who looked the bigger tw*t

If we leave the EU I'm sure that the rest of Europe would still want to trade with us, why wouldn't they? However it is extremely naïve to think we would get the same favourable terms.

Imports would cost more and exports less because we lose the collective bargaining power we have. Of course we still have the uncertainty as to how we will be viewed by the rest of the world.

There are pro's and con's to being in the EU. However until someone can tell me with certainty what the benefits of leaving will be, I'll vote to stay.

It's one of the reasons I haven't switched my bank account in over 25 years. The fear of them fecking it up and it costing me money (with a certain element of inherent laziness thrown in for good measure) stops me from taking the leap.

To be fair DSB, no one can tell you with any crtanty what 'benefits' are guarrenteed by remaining despite all the hype.

Why I'm out is I don't trust the buggers, why delay budget plans till the end of June, a month late? Why are there secreat documents floating around concerning a Euro army, a point consistantly denied by remain, the business with Turkey and migration not one of them seemingly able to police their borders (and before the usual waggs point to the inflatables arriving from France, it is the EU open borders they are streaming through to get there in the first place)
On the ecconomics, I don't believe much will change, I do believe we have to stem the flow of no/low skilled migrants and their famillies.

Now here's a summat. My gaffer reckons that people shouldn't be allowed to vote upon reaching 70 as what they vote for probably won't effect them. Thoughts?

Please make it stop. There's another three fecking weeks of this. I'd quite happily vote out if it meant an end to the folk who think posting 27 links a day on Facebook to the Daily Mail are a) being read our b) persuading anyone.

Not sure I agree. Both my parents are well into their 70s and the outcome could mean they have to return to the UK. I think they're as entitled to vote for their future, however long that lasts, as much as anyone.

I might be in favour of an IQ test though!
