I never saw her as being all that impatient.

I have never heard of him before.

As I said I only visit Youtube when I have a practical problem to solve and want to SEE how to do it.

How can we have trust in a referendum where 3.500 EU citizens have 'mistakenly' been sent voting papers for a referendum which they are not entitled to vote in.
Firstly it makes me question whether it is a mistake or whether it is calculated to skew the results.
Secondly, it makes me seriously doubt the competence of those in charge and their ability to manage what should be a straighforward process.
Are they going to get blind counters to tot up the votes as well?

The Electoral Commission says it was a 'glitch' and that EU citizens who turn up to vote, but are ineligible will be turned away....yeah, right!....and according to them it was not 3,500...but only 3,462 over 6 authorities.
I still have little faith in the integrity of the vote.

Thats complete crap as far as i'm concerned, how can they tell who??

Restlessness and anxiety is said to be growing across top companies in Germany as next month’s historic EU referendum draws closer.

The future of German companies will be thrown into doubt in the event of Britain freeing itself from the shackles of Brussels as 2,500 businesses have branches across the UK.

As Remain and Leave camps drum up support for their campaigns here in the UK, DZ Bank says Brexit would cost the Germany economy £34.8bn by 2017 alone and the country could fall into recession.

German experts predicted Britain leaving Europe would act as a “slow poison” to their countries economy.

Barrie, again this is all conjecture, guesswork aimed at creating more uncertainty.
Yes, I know that if we leave the future will be uncertain....but the future is ALWAYS uncertain anyway.....that is the nature of the future.
Everyone who has an interest in us staying in will look for the worst case scenario.....and if it doesn't exist then it is manufactured.

I will still be putting my X in the Leave box.

So will I Margaret.
In '75 one of the 2 regions to say No was the Outer Hebrides. I commented at the time that one of the reasons for that was a large population group living there was military, the majority of whom had served in various European countries. They had greater experience of what it was like then and to my mind it has only got worse.
Germany controls the Euro and therefore the economy of the rest of the EU, even the ones who stayed out of the Eurozone.

In one of the newspapers it mentions that Norway are still dictated to by the EU...even though they are not in ......it was stated that they have to take migrants...but the article failed to say that this is because Norway are signed up to the Schengen agreement......We are not signed up to this.
We contribute to the EU and some of these contributions will almost certainly be put towards the cost of the migrants in other countries.
So while the newspaper did not actually lie...it did not give the whole picture.

Well, surprise, surprise!
It's called democracy.

These M.P.s wouldn't know the meaning of democracy,if it slapped em in the kisser.

There's a surprise, one of the MPs who thinks he has the right to stymie a possible Vote Leave victory is called Kinnock. There's an entire family who've made it a career to suck down expenses from the EU, and obviously don't want it to end. Talk about self- serving. Exactly why I'll be voting Leave.

Just seems to confirm the opinion that those advocating stay are concerned with what's good for them & not the British public! If you're foolish enough to vote stay & you get your way, it's no use whining & bleating x years down the line when you're being stuffed for housing, places for your kids in schools, visits to doctors & dentists or turned down for a job because you won't work for a pittance because some migrant will!

You made your festering pit, now live with it!

Alternatively, do the wise thing & vote OUT!

[Margaret Pilkington]

I keep on repeating mysel(must be my age)......I have been saying that all those in the Remain camp care only for their needs and are not interested in what is in the best interests of Britain.
I have also said that come the 24th of June we will still be a part of that money hungry, undemocratic, arrogant organisation that is the EU.
We can't be allowed to leave. It would be the death knell for the EU.
If Brexit happened how long do you think it woul be before there was a Spexit and a Frexit?
No.....we will either be sent back like naughty children, to do the work again.....or as the news article says, our vote would be over ruled by those we PAY to represent us, but treat us with similar contempt to those bureaucrats in the EU.
Vote OUT.
