This is a normal post And that's a reason to remain?
The stay in camp have offered nothing scare stories. I have heard nothing positive about remaining in the EU; nothing. The only arguments seems to be it's better to stay in a abusive relationship as walking out is too hard to contemplate so stay with what you know.

PS Hello Mr Pills. Hope to see you on the Bash

Etc. Removing ourselves from the EU will be utter madness

This is a normal post Well if the German finance minister says so it must be true.
I wonder what would motivate him to say such a thing. Could it be that the UK is the second biggest net contributor to the EU after Germany? How is it that Switzerland and Norway are part of the single market despite not being EU members? How is it that Australia and Canada have trade deals that allow them access to the single market?
More lies and scare tactics from a foreign politician that no one outside Germany had ever heard of until yesterday. Still, I'm sure he's now secured himself a lucrative sinecure in Brussels once his current tenure comes to an end.

This is a normal post What motivates the CBI, TUC, Unite, Unison, Bank of England, IMF and so many charities I've lost count?
If we shouldn't listen to any of those experts, who should we listen to? The only voices I here from the Brexit camp are Johnson, Gove, Farage, The Daily Mail and The Sun and I wouldn't trust any of them to run a bath.

This is a normal post Well the business side of those people got us into a global recession and caused untold amount of misery.
And yet still seem to have a lot of money and power.
Funny that.


As for the unions, well most have swallowed the labour party line (because ooOOooOO tories) but the RMT is calling for exit.

But we'll probably remain because the British love being told not to do something and care deeply how their decisions will affect big business.

[edit]
Also apparently The Northern Ireland Public Service Alliance are calling for leave.

This is a normal post I'm pretty sure it was the American Sub-Prime mortgage market that got us into a recession.
A nice list, because we like lists.

This is a normal post That's certainly an impressive list.
I can see why many organisations would favour the status quo.
Personally I think we can do better.

Now excuse me because as a skinhead i've got to find a elderly asian lady to play seesaw with.
weee!

This is a normal post The charities are motivated by self interest, they get lots of hand outs from the EU.
I don't see trade unions as experts in anything. BOE and IMF are economists. Economics is just fiscal politics, it's not, as many believe, a science where there is a right and wrong. This Remain/Leave debate has no right answer, it's a matter of political opinion. So you defer to your so called experts if you want, just as we defer to the unelected and unaccountable EU. I'd like to regain some autonomy. If those are the only Brexit voices you've heard, you're following the debate in a very superficial way.

This is a normal post I'm still confused by Brexits idea of fear campaigning
Saying the economy will suffer is scaremongering
Boris claiming all our women will be raped my migrants isn't scaremongering

This is a normal post Boris was the one with floppy hair making jokes.
Farage is the one warning that immigrants are at risk of being a bit rapey due to cultural differences.
