I thought Cameron's WW3 threat was/is disgraceful, and he's taken a huge drop in my estimation....

Yes. Forgot to mention that it was even in spite of making the same sort of ridiculous claims that was normal for a politician!

On the other side, Gove has always been weasely and Boris (who claims soul-searching, but probably only insofar as he analysed which of the 2 announcement strategies would provide more political clout) has been and always will be simply a buffoon! My opinion of them has not changed!

Excellent post! Couldn't have put it any better.



I thought Cameron's WW3 threat was/is disgraceful, and he's taken a huge drop in my estimation. Osborne's budget gaffs show a level of ineptitude I wouldn't expect from a Chancellor. May is a mouth piece for the party, and has been quite disappointing through the whole debate.

As Doon says, expect some huge announcements in the final days. Its been an appalling debate...

I read that Merkel will make an intervention towards the end. I can only surmise she will tell us what a great deal Cameron negotiated for us and how the end of the World will be nigh if we Leave. Pity they didn't take us seriously when we were asking for some reasonable changes. I find it difficult that anyone cannot see how the current Free Movement of People through the EU is any longer a sensible policy. When the member states had similar strength economies then you could see some value for it but with member states that have basket case economies it has become a one way train that is unfair and stupid.

As usual, read the comments and no surprise to see the cretins in London got the blame somehow ...

Ah, we are all waiting on Ms Merkel's last ditch plea/offer to stay...


Mind you hearing the stitch up merchant Vince Cable telling us we'd be economically foolish to leave is enough for me to continue with voting for Brexit...

No...... I think most Scots would be aware that this referendum is a UK issue and would have been bright enough to show a union flag to accompany the words written.

You keep telling us it's all about whether the vote will be fair to Scotland and whats best for the Scottish. Well some of us like to consider whats best for the English so your principles must consider that fair dues.

Oh! and that picture was taken during the 2014 World Cup :rofl:

England seem to be heading down the path of Independence from the UK. Seems strange after all that better togetherness of 2014.
I have no problem with that provided that they divi up the UK's wealth equally.

As I can read I was aware of the date on the photo, makes Mr Toby Young seem like a prize plonker, I blame the schools.

And the debt.

And the debt.

Naturally, 10% of the Bank of England will soon sort our share of that out.

If your share of the UK's wealth is 10%, is the rest of the UK's share of Scotland's wealth 90% of what's in Scotland?

 

[bluewolf]

Why are you letting the troll turn it into yet another thread about Scotland? It's been mainly interesting reading up to now...

Thats a silly statement and born of prejudice.

I think you have rather missed the point of the pic!

And Yes, TY has forgotten about the other parts of GB!

As long as ultimate control is Westminster, 'England' is happy!

The comment is stupid. I would add that although someone is a Theoretical Physicist, Cosmologist, it does not make them an expert in Politics, Business and Economics. My experiences of such academics is that they are best at what they are qualified for.

For those banging on about immigration and the introduction of Aussie point system (which I assume everyone knows is already in place for non-EU migrants), it is interesting to see the Dutch PM say that they could introduce the same for UK citizens wanting to migrating to Holland.

If Spain follows suit, imagine, the Brits having to prove that you are an independent, skilled worker before you can buy their retirement pad in the Costas... that would hurt or would it??
