EU Referendum

[Bunny]

Its not a leaflet!! Its a booklet. Ours arrived today. Im not sure it says anything that isnt already out there and maybe might sway a percentage of people without a counter argument. I dont want to give away any spoilers, but the plot line is: this is what we have. We dont know what we'll have if we leave but it might be costly *cue theme tune from Insidious.

One the plus its very glossy.

Of course Im being tongue in cheek. I think with what is a monumental decision, its right the Government gives its side. Cost wise, I dont know if it would be cheaper to find another way, but hey what do I know.

I think that my point is... where's the equivalent of a counter argument?

I think I'm a fairly reasonable and open-minded kind of fella, but the argument seems to be definitely loaded in favour of Camerons preferred choice...

No I quite agree. The leave campaign should have been given an equal avenue to put their side, as Ive said earlier. I do beleive a large percentage of people are open minded about it. I am starting to lean towards the remain side, not because of todays gumph, but because I feel, the benefits outweigh the costs, particularily with free movement and employment legislation. Its far from perfect, but nothing ever is. Next week who knows how Ill feel

Damn, the Tories are really cranking up the anti-exit sentiments now!  £36 billion in tax receipts lost in the UK exit?  8p rise in income tax?  This, from a man like Osbourne, who promised to bring down the deficit by the end of this year but has now put back the deadline until the end of the decade, assuming the Tories last that long... the man can't be trusted with financial concepts, his defeat at the last budget proved it!

It's all conjecture and scare-mongering... NOBODY knows what will happen if the UK leaves the EU!

Again, I don't claim to be an economic or political brain wizard, I'm sure finer minds than mine can back me up or shoot me down... and I welcome that!  But the way this argument is, undoubtably, the biggest issue of the year, if not for something that will resonate for decades to come, is being loaded in favour of one opinion with hyperbole... makes me a bit angry.

And Norway isn't in the EU... cos what the daily fascist won't tell you is that the European Court of Human Rights is NOT an EU court, it predates it and Britain is a signatory since 1949 (it's called European because it refers to Europe), so us leaving won't necessarily make any difference. Don't get me wrong, I'm not necessarily advocating staying in - I pretty much don't give a shit if we stay or go in fact, just enjoying very much the tory scum ripping each other to shreds over the matter and hoping the damage they do to each other will last very long.

Interesting aside. Google, that company that everyone uses and as a result, have the ability to force feed its products, is currently being rounded on by the EU for stifling its competition. I applaud that. Im all up for successful business but not one that dictates what others can or cant do.

did like that picture Markxe 

A farcical mummers play. Half truths and made up nonsense all round. Osbourne and his algebra: really?

One side wants to take us back in time to some supposed golden period of British magnificence, the other says there is only one way forward or we'll all be dirty little dickensian ragamuffins eating coal.

Won't be in the country and won't be voting.

Interesting reading, I'll digest those thoughts for a while...

Listen to the speeches Daniel Hannan really is good.

its a game

you can't drop out of the client state market system. even if the people want to. in the aftermath of an exit conditions would be such that subordination of the UK to world markets would be certainty.

has anyone got any sources of decent independent opinion on this?

Is it true that Boris Johnson had claimed that the EU had banned bunches of more than 3 bananas? As an example of how the EU regulates stuff? A UK friend of mine shared something to that extent. If it were true (that he had made such a claim) it would be a really stupid thing to lie about...*shakes head* Just curious.

Unfortunately it is true ............

Quality debate .............

As discussed over the weekend Anna , Boris playing the lovable idiot card once again, I mean that's all very well but he could be our prime minister, oh well Donald and Boris could team up and take us places - nuclear oblivion most likely imo .

Interesting how The Pig-Botherer picks and chooses who he can have a debate with...
