    A well written article by Nige, he's clearly seen the danger and is trying very, very hard to talk about immigration and the effects on public services and also using friendly phrases such as "non-discrimination" wrt to non-EU migrants. There isn't a lot to disagree with, though I think 30-50k net annual migration would probably be economically unviable in the UK, our state and public sector pensions burden is far too great. Unless we ditch the triple lock and prepare for months of strikes by the public sector the day after the government announces the end to all defined benefit schemes and moving existing DB schemes into DC schemes we, as a nation, will not be able to survive with migration below 100k.

    Nah. Our birthrate is enough to keep the population growing not shrinking and we just need to keep the pension age going up a little.
    Our current birthrate is just about high enough, but the birthrate from 20-40 years ago wasn't so the baby boomers have no one to pay for their pensions and healthcare now that they are retiring. We'd need to freeze the state pension and close all DB schemes in the public sector to lower migration to the level Nigel desires.

    Our current birth rate is being driven by immigrants. If we have fewer it will decline. That's an issue that Boris is going to have to look at carefully, though on a personal level he has certainly done his best :-)

    To be fair, if we were not concentrating so hard on squeezing as much growth out of this generation they might have more time for children....

    James Dyson coming out for brexit. That's a bit of a shock as his business does very well from making his expensive gadgets in eastern Europe. The current setup is very good for his business.
    I love his quote about Brexit threat "it's cobblers"

    :smiley:
    So James Dyson and the country's biggest manufactuer(JCB) both for Brexit.

    Anecdote alert. Signing on in the jobcentre today my work coach pointed out that he wasn't going to be there in two weeks because he was taking the day off. The reason? He was going to be staying up to watch the results from the referendum. And he said if we don't leave he's resigning!

    Hurrah! Good man.

    How is he going to get on when the first thing they say to him at the job centre is that we have a vacancy as a work coach, take it or we dock your benefits? ;)

    Er..... I don't know what that is. What strikes me is how we have a political issue that is so dividing people along class lines. The three Facebook friends of mine who back leave are the working class ones. One of whom posts quite a bit of pro-Brexit stuff alongside anti-hunting animal welfare stuff.

    Hear hear. We keep being told our fertility rate is too low...who can afford a family with student loans, rents etc. My generation had double digit inflation to make mortgages affordable in a short space of time. I feel sorry for the millennials in that regard.

    Remain or Leave, Britain is not going to be happy place after this vote. The defeated side is not going to reconcile itself easily to the outcome.

    That I'm afraid is the nature of the battle that's been fought. It's been nasty and personal.

    I do think though that a leave vote would be easier to heal.

    Not if it turns out Leave were selling snake oil.

    Cheer up SO, you've been miserable ever since Corbyn was elected. As Balfour said, nothing matters very much and few things matter at all. The UK has been through a hell of a lot worse than leaving a customs union with delusions of grandeur.

    On a personal level the world is a wonderful place and will carry on being so. I type this from a hotel in the Aragonese Pyrenees having just had a delicious dinner on an outdoor terrace looking across to the mountains. Earlier this week we had over 500 delegates attend one of our conferences in Barcelona. It was great. What depresses me is that working class kids these days don't get the chances I did and that the way things are shsping up they'll get even fewer in the future. I hope I'm wrong, but I can't see it being one of Boris's priorities.

    Yes, indeed. I certainly wouldn't be averse for a bit of revolution in the right hands. Unfortunately a revolution led by the current insurgents is unlikely to end well for the poor bloody infantry they're sending over the top.

    High Fives.

    I proved to myself in Benidorm last weekend that there are no flies on this creaking 38 year old yet.

    Landed at 11pm, went straight through the first night in those crazy drug-fuelled clubs, was still smashing it into me in the Tiki Tiki bar in the blazing sun the following afternoon, surrounded by young girls and wearing the same clothes I'd left Bristol airport in. Living the dream and putting the young callow 21 year olds with me to the vodka and gin sword.

    Was a bit tired in work Tuesday though. I think they call it shagged out.

    It's surprising. A Labour politician actually representing what many Labour voters believe...

    remain are trying to attack Boris but the labour wwc who are fleeing to Brexit like Boris afterall unlike Cameron, Boris has won many Labour wwc votes in London he wouldn't have won the Mayoral election otherwise. They are going for the liberal gausrdian reading vote but thats not enough.

    James Dyson coming out for brexit. That's a bit of a shock as his business does very well from making his expensive gadgets in eastern Europe. The current setup is very good for his business.
    I love his quote about Brexit threat "it's cobblers"

    :smiley:
    I thought Dyson's gadgets were made in Malaysia.
    You are right. I thought he produced stuff in factories in Poland as well, but I can't find a link to that...I might just be misrembering.

    High Fives.

    I proved to myself in Benidorm last weekend that there are no flies on this creaking 38 year old yet.

    Landed at 11pm, went straight through the first night in those crazy drug-fuelled clubs, was still smashing it into me in the Tiki Tiki bar in the blazing sun the following afternoon, surrounded by young girls and wearing the same clothes I'd left Bristol airport in. Living the dream and putting the young callow 21 year olds with me to the vodka and gin sword.

    Was a bit tired in work Tuesday though. I think they call it shagged out.
    The trains were delayed so I got the National Express back. I had a book and Pepsi Max.

    Grin.

    That's... quite inexpensive, tbh

    (3000sqft is 60ft by 50ft. That's a 2-bed flat. A single room in the South East - not London, just the South East - will go for about £350-450pcm. Am I missing something here? Is my maths wrong?)

    Isn't leave still ahead 53-47 with no turnout filter? If Leaver enthusiasm is offset by AB enthusiasm, isn't that still a Leave win?

David Cameron made a big mistake when he spent years saying Europe was terrible, but there's still time to make it up.

    Weighting relies on the subsamples being weighted being politically representative of the cohort. If they aren't, the more weighting required the more distortion will be introduced.

    I was mightily relieved to have been saved from P.M. Miliband. However, a combination of a lacklustre legislative program, a downright bad budget and Cameron's pathetic EU dissembling have made me long for the coalition. Or even a sensible (Gisela <3) Labour administration.

    I used to criticise somebody on here (it may have been you, but I can't remember) for fisking the REMAIN polls but not the LEAVE ones. The same applies to Matt in the other direction. How many polls have we had now with LEAVE ahead? Once is happenstance, twice is a coincidence, three times is enemy action...
