So the Brexit camp is winning the surveys.. Glad I shorted the Sterling.. It is in free fall v/s my chosen currency, so I am quids in (for now). Not liking the prospect of the Sterling in the long run though..
EU Referendum
- Thread starter Doon frae Troon
- Start date
I did wonder who was short selling sterling to force the Remain position. Maybe Cameron told the BoE to do it...?

He's done his best to talk sterling down so he must have a shed load of Dollars stuffed somewhere in Bermuda.
PS, I shifted a load into Euros two weeks ago @1.32€.. It's hanging around 1.26€ since last Thursday. Think I'm about £9k up at present.

I was meaning the logistics and renewal costs of changing millions of passports from EU to UK within two years.

Yes, I agree. I worded it badly but meant to say that most MPs would say or do mostly anything for a shot at power.

I think by this stage it is not worth believing anything either side says. I suspect most people know which way they will vote, so instead of listening, reading, quoting or indeed believing the increasingly manic suggestions by both sides in the run up, do something more productive instead. Read a book, go for a walk, watch the footy, play a round of golf, go for a beer with mates (assuming they will not drone on about it). Then make your vote on June the 23rd in the same way you would have done before all this coverage happened and deal with the consequences. Whatever they may be.

Or, have already voted by post and spend the rest of the run up to the election quietly shaking your head at the dismal sight of both sides making utterly ridiculous claims and a sizeable percentage of each support believing anything that supports their own viewpoint.
This is quite easily the worst example of democracy I've ever been exposed to.

Silly statement - the passport quite clearly states that the holder is a UK Resident so is easily identifiable as not a member of the herd. The blue ones can come back on renewal.

Maybe they should have made this in/out decision in parliament alone and left all us uninformed plebs out of it? Do feel that whatever way it goes, the hoo-ha will die down pretty quickly and we'll just get on with it, the world will keep spinning etc etc.

George Osborne has said that if we vote to leave then he will have to put up taxes and spend less on skools, NHS, etc etc.
However 57 Tory MPs have said that will not happen, if it does, his position will be untenable. In essence he will be the first out of a job. Another reason to vote level then me finks.

Couple of Q's for our remain folk.
Why has the 1/2 term debate on proposals for the EU Budget been delayed until after the vote?
How come the two main people - Call me Dave and I love the EU Corbyn not stood on the same platform to stir the nation into believing the IN campaign, The same could be said of the Chancellor and his shadow?
Why does the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party think that he can reverse the EU policy on free movement for EU citizens when his boss loves it and the EU have already stated that is the main cornerstone of their policies?
Sounds like the remain team are as disjointed as the out team.

And the same could be said of Farage and Gove. The reason they do not stand together is that they know the image will be used against them at some future date and it would be political suicide.
And I'm not sure anyone has claimed any particular side is a collection of like minded people that agree on political matters. As both are made up of people using this for their own political advantage.
And George Osbourne on the radio this morning... and David Cameron on the radio yesterday - and well done to the presenter for nailing him with hard facts.
Let's be honest, both sides have twisted everything to suit their agenda. Circumspect with half truths at best.

The best part is that it is democratic. Unlike the EU that is.
Just saying
Funny I could have sworn I voted in an EU election. Must have dreamed it....

Re the one in bold Labour need Scotland seats back for any chance of winning a UK GE in future, being seen campaigning together with the Tories at 'Infyref better together' resulted in a further collapse of Labour support in Scotland, they can't be seen to be in bed with the Tories on any issue imo or they'll never get their support back, they're the 3rd party at Holyrood now and Corbyn knows he needs Scotland back.
