Blah blah blah blah blah blah............ long on wind and bugger all in the way of facts as usual.

"Social cohesion" blah blah blah blah blah blah...... I suggest you visit some of the roughest areas of the UK. Go into one of the pubs there and start a conversation. Social cohesion hasn't existed for a long, long time. <b> Talk to them about factory closures, industries that have since moved to the Czech Republic, or The Netherlands, or Poland or or or. </b> Ask them what the EU has done for them.

Brexit will be a great social equaliser.. we could add Financial Services to the mix as they move to Paris, Frankfurt etc. Don’t worry retail banks will still be there but the profit making parts will move out.
So this is a great way to bridge the north - south Financial divide.. bring on Brexit

Losing Jobs? Employment is at its highest ever. Investment and what investment is this, maybe you can be a little more specific or is it something you heard down the pub. I am a Brexiteer if thats a label to be stuck on me but I can see there are pros and cons for leaving the EU, it won't be all beer and skittles. However people with attitudes like yours really leave me cold, you have absolutely no faith in your country to stand on its own two feet, all you do is snipe away with bits of biased news and tittle tattle to support your negative attitudes. I wish you would clear off and live in your EU utopia where you will feel nice and cosy.

If you opened your eyes and looked at the state of the member states you will see growth has stagnated and economic performance has been distorted and manipulated by the huge level of psuedo cash pumped in by QE from the ECB. Sums which brussels has admited is unsustainable. The UK is one of the few net contributors on who the burden of the massively increased EU budget will fall. Unemployment in many members, especially among young people is a disaster. France can't balance its budget within the ECB rules and is worse than Italy. There is an East / West split in EU members around democracy.

However you want to Remain shackled to this political experiment that has forced a common currency on the majority of members when those in the Eurozone have widely different economic bases.

Wake up, growth is in the RoW.

I think he is trying to convey the fact that Leavers cannot handle the truth about Brexit..... I could be wrong though.:confused:[/QUOTE]



I though the TRUTH was
Faced with a choice of ‘Do you want to stay in the EU or Do you want to leave the EU’ the choice was clear, partisan affiliations played no part.
And so 17.4m voted according with their hearts and experiences in life, Project Fear was championed by Red and Blue alike and had behind them the power of the State.
Despite the totally disproportionate funding and negative coverage of what a vote to leave would mean the vote was to Leave.
Faced with this reality the powers that be were left with only one conclusion, which was, you’re too thick and you’ve been lied to.....

So having been educated over the last 2 years or so by those that know better than us let’s have another vote on exactly the same question.
Somehow though I don’t think we’ll be given those very simple choices, we’re to thick to understand them.
 
Well, my sister is now a German. Probably a sensible choice. I have never understood expats, who live in a country for 30 years, don't want citizenship there, and still want a vote over here. Bonkers.

Well that's one way of looking at it. But I am duty bound to point out that both sides had 7 million to spend on campaigning and only one side was fined by the electoral commission for exceeding that budget, acting in what some may cruelly suggest was a deliberate attempt to deceive and conceal the fact that they were breaking that particular law. But I'm happy to ignore that if you are and convince myself the opposite actually occurred. After all, who needs experts.

The fine was just a laughably obvious political attack on Brexit.
Remember the men in dark suits will do EVERYTHING in there powers to stop Brexit.

Why is it that almost every Remainer conveniently forgets the £9.3 million Cameron spent immediately before campaigning officially began for Remain. Ah but it was within the rules is often heard. Sorry but colour it anyway you like, Cameron spent £9.3m before the official start date on leaflets for every household.

There's plenty of headlines about if you'd care to look...
