2 career politicians, mainly talking bollocks.

You can now look forward to Corbin doing a live program on the 20 th June.

He really wants out, as his past record shows, but has to toe the line to say in.

It should be interesting.

[stephen25000]

...and tomorrow there is Boris and Sturgeon.

Now there is a stage act in the making.

Someone with principles.

If we weren't already in the EU would you join it?

There are alot of good things that come out of the EU
Maybe though the project whch started as free trade and free movement of peoples got too big for its boots and started dictating on laws that had nothng to do with either of those


It seems there is a real possibility brexiters will carry the day
THe arguments have not been spelt out clearly and truthfully so IMO most  people will vote on gut feelings

I only hope having seen some of the moronic behaviour by brexiters in France,  supporting England, it might change a few minds.

The EU has declared that their aim is political unity leading to a Federal United States of Europe.  Germany couldn't achieve this by force despite two world wars so are trying it now by stealth. It isn't just us Brits who want out of this mess, most of France, Portugal and Spain want out too and want their currencies back.

Surely you don't classify all football supporters as BrExiteers?

They use the same old security threat all the time but the truth is we don't need the EU to maintain peace in Europe, not that the toothless EU could do anything in any event.  Just look at the Crimea and see what happened.

If we stay in the EU there is a good chance Turkey with its population of nearly 70 million will want a fast track membership so watch the Turkish Baths appear in a High Street near you.  If Turkey and the six other eastern bloc countries who want to join get their way there will be no stopping them, our very way of life here in the UK will be under threat.

Cameron cannot negotiate his way out of a paper bag, the only way of protecting our security is to TAKE BACK CONTROL and the only way to do that is to VOTE LEAVE.

[mercury]

Cameron was never fit to be PM

He just wanted the position without the responsibility

His stamp of approval over cuts in budgets over the most vulnerable in society was despicable

He called a referendum without thnking it through and the consequences it might create

The whole campaign has been a dogs dinner, leaving most people clueless apart from those whose minds were made up anyway

Re the immigration issue, the UK is full of immigrants, another few isnt going to change much, just going to make those who are reaponsible for negative outfall work harder

John I doubt 70m turks will suddenly have an urge to move to the UK, besides, the weather is crap

are any of you well informed posters aware that the referendum carries no weight at all....the decision will be made by a free vote in parliament that favours staying in....just remember where you heard it first...from me. The british public were promised a referendum...they were not promised that their view would be enforced

So there was no point in havng a referendum then? Lol
