A very harrowing image of people exercising their democratic rights in a 'leafy London suburb' (are there any other types of London suburbs, treey, grassy, dog &%^%y?)

More importantly, what does a "leafy" London suburb get called in the winter when all the leaves have fallen off the trees?

Boris and Dave, stripped to the waist, slugging it out - last man standing....

Works for me👍

That's fine with me. Any chance we could throw in Farage as well and maybe half a dozen hungry tigers? As long as it doesn't go to a replay and we have to do it all over again in a couple of weeks time.

We really don't know what's being discussed and being mapped out for us and this is just too damn scary to contemplate, talk about poking the bear!http://www.infowars.com/proposed-eu-army-hidden-from-british-voters-until-after-brexit/
Didn't Cameron explicitly rule out any notion of an EU army as part of the referendum campaign? I can't believe that even he would be so arrogant as to think that if he wins the vote he can go back on that and sign up to having one without facing one hell of a backlash.

He can explicitly promise anything to us, if Brussels wants it they'll do it and get it, were just pishing in the wind!

The EU have no control over our army or indeed Armed Forces - the story has been dismissed as total nonsense

The Queen at the end of the day has overall control of the Armed Forces and this story is one of biggest amongst all the whoppers been said by either side

With the best will in the world, this was on the web site of an US Trump supporting conspiracy theorist who according to Wikipedia has accused the US government of being involved in the Oklahoma bombing, the September 11th attacks and faking the moon landings. And when he makes Piers Morgan seem the sane one you kind of get an idea of who you are dealing with.

I know poo pooing experts seems to be the done thing nowadays, so could I possibly suggest calling this person an expert and taking him at all seriously is like calling me a tour golfer, and this person is just a right wing conspiracy fantasist? Or may be even a dangerous whack job.

Clearly they are not all locked up!

and this is the problem. Most people in the UK can see the guys is nuts, but look at the comments on you tube from US citizens and people like him are essentially the reason Trump is being taken seriously as a leader of one of the worlds super powers as he spews out this kind of crap on a daily basis.

For some reason I watched a bit of it on BBC the other night ,
I don't envy the undecided learning much fro the debate ,

One side say we will be better off OUT but couldn't really prove it ,
other side were pushing negative scary stuff rather than positive definite reasons to stay ..



Good Luck to ye all no mater what the result I hope whatever is ahead turns out to be for the best


At a guess id say it will be a STAY I don't think the GO did enough to convince the undecided

Just guessing tho

Did you actually listen to what Juncker said.

He said 'no more renegotiation - out is out'. Don't forget that this referendum is actually only advisory. Juncker knows that, so when he says 'no more renegotiation - out is out' what he is saying is that if we vote to Leave then don't think you can then come to us and 'try it on', using the mandate of a referendum Leave result as a leverage for renegotiating further changes.

Oh I know Leave will spin this to mean 'no more renegotiation ever' but Leave are a disingenuous and duplicitous lot, The Leave motto might well have been... 'If it sounds like it could be true - then that will do'

And so it has come to pass - Leave spinning a statement into something it's not.

You have read the wrong article, let's leave it at that. Your obviously blinded by your own hypocrisy and I seem to remember you have yet to answer one question that was asked of you. Never mind now it's all over.

I am told by many people that are voting to remain that they are frightened to stand alone in this big world, I would like to remind them of some recent history.

We joined the European community in 1973, 12 years later we found ourselves standing alone against Argentina, nobody, including our so-called friends in Europe came to help, in-fact, everyone turned their back on us, hundreds of our brave men were killed and injured, many by EXOCET missiles at the time being manufactured and sold to Argentina by the French Government!

Nuff said!
