Can anyone just remind me why we're having this fucking referendum in the first place? All this bullshit is just wasting my time and causing me to think about stuff I can't really be arsed with right now.
- because politicians aren't real people.detritus
- because cunts are still running the worldkingsteven
- because that pig worrier Cameron had to use every last dirty trick and desperate measure to gain the weak Tory government he ended up with.Wolfboy
- well that went well for him, didn't it?hans_glib
- FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCKIanbolton

100 good voting!
is it voluntary in the UK or do you have to go?
- voluntary for sure...weird thinking of me this morning.uan
- Yea if you don't vote they turn up at your door wielding axes and polling papersset
- Failure to participate in democracy means you get put onto a watch list and your movements / habits are monitored for deviant behavior.face_melter
- If you don't vote, you get a personally-written letter of thanks from Mr Cameron.detritus
- lowimpakt-1
- That great.wheelBoy
- Why should we?detritus
- Because humans want to move around the world?lowimpakt
- What about the humans already in those places - they not get a say in things?
A strange imbalance in 'natural' rights.detritus - I'd wager most humans don't 'want' to move around the world, but rather need to for work. ...detritus
- Perhaps instead consider balancing things and help them improve their home societies and not aggregate all humanity into a few increasingly-shit megacities?detritus

From the Facebook of a guy called Matt Thomas:
friday's going to be amazing! i'm going to wake up in my Union Jack jim-jams to the sound of a squadron of Spitfires racing overhead and leaving a trail of hot buttered crumpets behind them
I'll run to the corner shop past all the british children who are laughing and squealing with excitement as they make a beautiful statue of the queen out of happy wriggling bulldog puppies - with two corgis for her eyebrows!
bunting flutters everywhere and the man from the betting shop steps into the street - "guess what! England just won the World Cup & The Ashes & The Grand National and here's the best bit - Boris put a bet on it for everyone! you're all MILLIONAIRES!!!"
the red arrows fly overhead dropping fish and chips as i walk into the corner shop, get my morning paper and go to the counter. "how much please?" i say to the asian lad there. "1 pence, everything in the whole shop now costs just 1p!" he laughs, "leave it on the counter, i'm off back to pakistan - we all are!"
and he's right! outside in the streets jolly old nigel farage is leading a huge crowd of happy foreigners - turks, poles, romanians, syrians - there's even a few English people with heavy suntans mixed up in there! nigel's playing Rule Britannia on a long pipe, rather like the pipe that takes the gas into your oven, and they're all following and smiling and talking foreign, bless them!
just then boris flies overhead in a concorde made of Bank of England gold - "don't worry!" he laughs "I've cut out all the bits the French made!" and with that he crashes into the ground at 1200 miles an hour, along with the economy, the country and all the dozy nostalgic foreigner-fearing fuckwits who fell for his bullshit.
grow up. wake up.

- I suggest Matt Thomas take his own advice in his last lineset
- You think he should IN?nb
- <1-- this is the problem with the in campaign. im voting out and dont care about the overhyped immigration issue. if the eu wants a federal setup then they...trooperbill

Now it's getting personal.
Brexit would put Game of Thrones under threat

if the brits leave the EU, the germans will put half-hourly passport controls in place in every european vacation spot. might revive the english seaside towns, though.

Anyway, this whole thread is now irrelevant because the he has spoken:

What more information does anyone need now?
- Wolfboy3
One of the key points for me during this whole debate was when Michael Gove (cunt) said:
“People in this country have had enough of experts”
Yes, don't listen to what the fucking egg heads are saying my little plebs, vote from your gut and remember how nasty anyone who is slightly different to you is.
I personally prefer to listen to those that have more information. This is worth 25 mins of anyone's time, especially if you're still undecided:
This (stinking) expert has also got some interesting things to say about immigration:

- Was going to post this vid. Essential viewing if undecided. Finally, a fucking expert is able to speak.LukeO
- You mean like the experts who put together the entire European project without democratic consensus? Such criticism's a two-way street...detritus
- or like the expert, Tusk, who recently stated that other experts have been living with their head in the clouds?
http://bit.ly/1UgdLD…detritus - I do agree with you that Gove is a cunt though. Wholeheartedly. I know politics shouldn't be about personality, but fuck him, Johnson, Farage, Cameron. All dem.detritus
- for the record, I think it's ridiculous we're allowed to vote on this subject at all—it should be in the hands of apolitical experts, philosophers, economists..detritus
- ^ yep blame the idiot Cameron for that.fadein11
- @detritus,I completely agree with you about the referendum in general. The man on the street is just not well read enough to make decisions on this.Wolfboy
- But in general, I do trust people who speak in more than sound bites on topics such as this. The TV debates with the various politicians and the coverage in...Wolfboy
- ...the ridiculous UK press has been of no use to help make an informed choice. It could be argued that the guy in the video has a bias, but his points are...Wolfboy
- ...more than just an attempt to squeeze the words 'take back control' into every sentence.Wolfboy

I could write something, but I think this says it all:
A world of opportunity is waiting for a fully independent Britain. This country is a leading economic power, its language is global, its laws are trusted and its reputation for fair dealing is second to none. To say we cannot thrive free of the EU’s constraints is defeatist and flies in the face of this country’s great mercantile traditions.
Indeed, so fragile is this political construct that the departure of one of its members, and especially one as big as the UK, threatens to trigger terminal instability. And why is that? If this were a robust democratic institution, underpinned by a thriving economy and a content and happy citizenry then Britain’s withdrawal should have no impact at all. Of course, if it were such a utopia then we wouldn’t be having a discussion about leaving in the first place; but it isn’t.
- My friend worked for Enfield Council but left because it was like the Portlandia comedy. She couldnt finish any projects, they just had endless meetings.Dillinger
- This is modern Britain, progressive liberal hellDillinger
- is Enfield Council more efficient now?Fax_Benson
- Ah the good old torygraphfadein11
- Enfield is a joke as are the rest, full lefty marxist moronsDillinger
- so her leaving didn't help? not sure what your point is.Fax_Benson
- The point is that Dillinger is a swivel-eyed goon who sees The Red Menace in almost every facet of modern life.face_melter
- Tell me what the EU's "constraints" are.Chimp
- "Indeed, so fragile is this political construct that the departure of one of its members, and especially one as big as the UK, " - and the Scotland?Chimp

"Both Cameron and Farage support TTIP. The UK will be suckered into it irrespective of the BREXIT outcome. UK law will be suspended in favour of an unelected pro-corporation EU tribunal, with unchallengeable decisions and the option to apply unlimited 'remedies'. BREXIT is a distraction from this."
baaah baaah sheeple
- besides, Liberals are so easily manipulatedDillinger
- your point is baaah baaah sheeple?kingsteven
- populist generation they never question anything out of fear of leaving the herd. bit like you.Dillinger
- i just asked you a question.kingsteven
