It is far and away the main topic to be discussed in relation to Brexit that I have come across. Mostly garbage spoken on the subject though, such as how it would keep out those in the Calais camp.
My sense, right now, right this moment, is that this could win it for LEAVE, however
The two biggest figures in British law enforcement warn today that the safety of the nation and fight against crime would be put at risk by leaving the European Union.
Theresa May, the home secretary, told The Times that essential intelligence from European partners, catching criminals and extraditing suspects would be under threat if Britain left.....
.....Their comments were made shortly before the Brussels atrocities, which came four months after the Paris attacks that killed 130.

Yeah, but your opinion is changed every day!
Not on this, I stand by my several-months-old prediction. A fairly narrow REMAIN win - 56-44. I just think the odds on a LEAVE upset have risen. And they have.
56-44 is quite a big gap for a binary choice. I currently suspect a much narrower result, with differential turnout being key factor.
Regarding leaflets, people put those things straight in the bin, along with free papers and other crap.
Most will not even notice it, but about 30-40% will look at if for a few seconds before binning it (noting briefly some sort of effort and presence) and about 10% will skim-read, and 5% properly read it.
If only a fifth of those who skim/properly read act differently, that's 20 extra votes for every 1 x 1,000 leaflet drop.
That is potentially 300,000 extra votes.
In what looks like a tight race those could be crucial. Leave do not want to end up like Yes holding mass meetings and winning the Twitter war while their opponents do the hard grind of winning swing voters
Indeed. Farage's and his town hall meetings in Thanet South being another good example.
Yes exactly I still think it will be close though, Remain 52 Leave 48 is my prediction

Pretty daft comment. The SNP sensibly are reversing the uncalled for top rate tax cut via allowances and generating lots of cash and are avoiding putting up the top rate which would raise no more cash. Pretty good politics and economics.
Meanwhile Labour are in favour of the tax cut south of the border but against it not of the border while the Tories are proposing no change at all - leave it all to George's!
The NATS dominate the centre left ground and will win this coming election by a street.

There is no chance a political party as divided as the republicans will survive in the long term. They are clearly split in 3 irreconcilable factions, and if any single faction bolts they all lose.
The interesting part is that Trump gets 42 in N.Carolina, 36 in Utah and 36 in New York in the opinion polls.
Support and rejection for Trump is almost uniform throughout america.
He will do much better than a classic republican in areas were republicans normally lose and much worse in areas where republicans normally win. If the republican party was united behind him he would have had a chance to win the GE, however it is badly divided so there is no chance.

It's a bit early to be writing retrospectives. The Republican party will fall into line behind him in the end. By November they'll be pretending they never had a problem with him in the first place.
Usual Newsnight BBC cr*p talking about the Brussels murders without blaming islam. Have now a young muslim blaming lack of work, under qualified, over qualified etc etc.. On and on a 30 minute exercise in burying heads in the sand.
Just watched that. Blaming "alienation" of Muslims in.... Belgium. One of the richest, most tolerant, most liberal and undemanding of states on earth. And very generous with welfare.
Let's face it, fucking ugly whining bearded Muslims will exploit this European cowardice until we stand up and say STOP. We have bent over backwards, and you've bombed our airports, shops, subways.
And still we tolerate your organised racist gang rape, your FGM, cousin marriage, forced marriage, misogyny, burqas, and overt disgust at our culture. UGH.
ENOUGH. We have to stand up and say we find modern Islam disgusting and repulsive. We want it to GO. To GO AWAY. We want Muslims to LEAVE Europe, not ENTER. And they can LEAVE until they can prove that they are capable of being civilised and liberal human beings, which doesn't look likely any time soon.
All fine and dandy. But the wrong target.
The true targets are the traitorous politicians who have allowed it, indeed connived for it, to come to pass. Those who have tried to destroy our own culture, and elevate ALIEN, INIMICAL and BACKWARD cultures to positions of "equality" in our own land, while stifling dissent through "hatespeech" laws, etc.
Until you recognize that, you're just pissing in the wind...
Besides, it's all far, far too late.
Just look out of your window. You're already an alien in your own capital city, the base of the propaganda network and traitorous political class that daily, gleefully, grinds you to dust...
Move abroad, or far north, if you wish to escape the deadly virus.
You know we have had all these primaries from US territories...I didn't realise they don't get a vote in the actual election and that Puerto Rico send a representative to the congress but isn't allowed to to vote on anything.
Apparently the decision dates back over 100 years where it was decided that they were "alien races" who couldn't understand "Anglo Saxon principles"....

There is nothing about English culture worth preserving.
There was little to begin with. The English were too single-minded and focussed on developing abstract, higher-order structures like the nation-state, law, education, democracy, philosophy to bother with such sentimentality...

Certainly an obvious response but with the downside you have simply kicked the problem 100m down the road into a more open area.

Odd though don't you think that wherever you go on the planet people ask if you speak a language whatever that query might be. The most obvious one is English and having travelled far and wide it's always called that and spoken widely.
It's not called Great Britainish, UKish even , LittleEnglanderish....... Just plain old " English. " obviously there was something worth saving then
* Even the Scots speak English and I have many more than one claim to speak queens English but perhaps I was mistaken and they were referring to Mary Queen of Scots
Btw, I don't mean to disparage people's campaigning ardour. I'm just sceptical that leaflets are effective. Actually knocking on doors is another matter though. I would imagine that makes a huge difference and I greatly respect people that do it as it must take some balls.
No, I've been doing it for nearly 50 years now, and the number of people who were what I'd call rude is in single figures. You should try it. Sure, you get people saying "Not interested", or "Labour? No way.", but people don't tell you to f*** off - the instinct to be reasonably polite to someone on your doorstep takes over. Often you get a pleasant short chat, even with opponents - I always remember the one who said, "I read the Mail, and what I see there makes me vote Tory. I do realise I'm getting a one-sided picture, but my life is so busy don't have time for a serious paper at the moment. I'm really sorry." The most courteous, apropos of the last thread, tend to be of Asian origin - canvassing in Leicester during the Iraq war for a pro-war white candidate against an Asian LibDem in a strongly Asian area, I have never heard so many different ways of saying that they were terribly sorry, but on this occasion, sadly...
Ironically, my wife once tried leafleting, and in the very first house she went to, the woman pursued her down the drive, shouting "How DARE you put this trash in my letterbox!" She was not enthused by the experience and has not made a habit of it.
Agree entirely, last year I knocked on thousands of doors, we received virtually no abuse. The British public are polite and magnanimous, if disinterested.
Interesting to note whilst canvassing that the poorest houses with least to protect have the fiercest dogs.

Well that was self-evidently so, and they would have to undergo some period of normalisation and assimilation before being admitted to statehood, should that even be possible.

They only have 2 outcomes, either Cruz wins both Utah and Arizona or Cruz gets bellow 50% in Utah, they don't consider the most probable one that Cruz has already got 50+ in Utah and Trump wins Arizona.
According to CNN, the NeverTrump's continue to be idiots at campaigning, they threw all their resources in Utah where Cruz was already 40% ahead of Trump.

The NATS dominate the centre left ground and will win this coming election by a street.
LOL
There is little doubt the SNP will win by a street, but not remotely from the centre left.
Steel yourself for this, but, you see, SNP policy on income tax is almost exactly the same as George Osborne’s policy on income tax before he unveiled his most recent budget. Mean-spirited people might use this awkward truth to suggest the SNP are, once again, little more than “Tartan Tories” but that is not quite fair. They are more like Tartan Reaganites.
The only difference between SNP and Tory income tax policy is that the SNP will only increase the threshold above which income is taxed at 40% by the rate of inflation whereas the Conservatives in Westminster intend to increase it to £50,000 by 2020.
I find it very difficult to believe that the local community didn't know anything about these people. This has been an enduring thought with me over the years. The muslim community is very close knit and resists what they see as external interference but unless they improve internal scrutiny we will not stop these rough individuals/groups.
I don't believe the "on line" polls, but there might currently be a slight movement towards "Leave". However, I expect a swing-back towards Remain by the eve of polling and a substantial majority for Remain.
Remain supporters should be grateful that Corbyn pulled his punches against Cameron on Monday afternoon. Given the events of the weekend, he could have seriously damaged the public perception of Cameron and set up a narrative that the vote on 23rd June would be an excellent opportunity to punish Cam-borne. As Labour almost unanimously support Remain, he sensibly refrained from doing so - sadly from my personal perspective.
I agree with IDS re his comments at the weekend (his interview with Marr was measured and sincere) and his views on Europe and have more respect for him than the "heir to Bliar" and his political chancellor from Tatton. The budget was a disgusting political manipulation in favour of the well-to-do and those segments of the population (ABC1s in prosperous regions) more likely to support Remain.
As for the US, it looks likely to be Trump vs Clinton in November 2016 and I do not look forward to the outcome. I don't understand why Trump, with his stated dislike of non-Christians, went to the AIPAC convention recently, given the relatively close identity between the religious beliefs/practices of Muslims and Jews. In the light of recent events in Paris/Brussels, I wonder whether it will be Hollande vs Le Pen in France next year, with a good chance for both the USA and France to have the novelty of lady presidents.

Since elections, even in Scotland, are still won from the centre this poses a certain difficulty for the Scottish Labour party. It has decided to respond by scurrying left in search of a higher cliff from which to jump.

I'd agree that Leave need to be well ahead by the final run-in. There will likely be a swing back as fear of change grips people at last minute.
So far I've refrained from betting on the Referendum. I'll see where things are in a month or so.

Nothing from last night suggests other than Trump V Clinton this autumn. What a fascinating fight that will be.
There is little doubt the SNP will win by a street, but not remotely from the centre left. http://capx.co/nicola-sturgeon-comes-round-to-thatchers-way-of-thinking-on-wealth-taxes/
Remain supporters should be grateful that Corbyn pulled his punches against Cameron on Monday afternoon. Given the events of the weekend, he could have seriously damaged the public perception of Cameron and set up a narrative that the vote on 23rd June would be an excellent opportunity to punish Cam-borne. As Labour almost unanimously support Remain, he sensibly refrained from doing so - sadly from my personal perspective.
I agree with IDS re his comments at the weekend (his interview with Marr was measured and sincere) and his views on Europe and have more respect for him than the "heir to Bliar" and his political chancellor from Tatton. The budget was a disgusting political manipulation in favour of the well-to-do and those segments of the population (ABC1s in prosperous regions) more likely to support Remain.
As for the US, it looks likely to be Trump vs Clinton in November 2016 and I do not look forward to the outcome. I don't understand why Trump, with his stated dislike of non-Christians, went to the AIPAC convention recently, given the relatively close identity between the religious beliefs/practices of Muslims and Jews. In the light of recent events in Paris/Brussels, I wonder whether it will be Hollande vs Le Pen in France next year, with a good chance for both the USA and France to have the novelty of lady presidents.
The sarcasm in that article is truly glorious.
I particularly enjoyed this line; It's funny 'cos it's true.
So far I've refrained from betting on the Referendum. I'll see where things are in a month or so.
