    Sounds awfully like the Telegraph one. Perhaps that wasn't the Telegraph one?

    is that it? PENSIONS WILL END IF BREXIT

    Indeed but even Remains inference of the removal of someone's pension is an evil wicked ploy by to play on the old and vulnerable.

    Remain really really are in complete panic because this would never have been said had they felt anywhere near winning. I am starting to agree with others on here. They think or perhaps know they are going to lose. They had the NHS the other day being destroyed because of Brexit , now pensions they are just going for all the soft targets. What next Brexit and we kill all your first born with pitchforks.

    Cameron is so fucked now whatever the result happens to be. He is going to end up being he more hated than Blair or Brown and I never thought possible ever. The other big danger of course is that Remainers will also never be forgiven because they as directly associated with these remarks and even cheering them on.
    He is not talking about pensioners losing their pension. He is saying that if the economy is adversely affected the triple lock could come under pressure.
    "So here is the reality: if we leave, the pensioner benefits would be under threat, and the Triple Lock could no longer be guaranteed in the long term."
    No different to the Bank of England and IFS warnings but then who are they!!
    They don't cover what happens if we stay and have to bail out places like Italy and how we will then not be able to afford pensions...

    Yep, ridiculous: continuing contribution to EU budget, no meaningful reduction in immigration and acceptance of most EU laws with no say in their framing. A great fig leaf for a Tory Leaver climbdown post-vote, though.

    Sorry, no idea what your talking about?

    We had a get out for not bailing out Greece and still had to. Do you think if Italy goes down we get off scot free if we are in the EU?

    Russian fans are going to kill people during this tournament. Great news the World Cup is there in two years' time.

    The sort of stuff their media spouts about foreigners you wonder what it might do to young men's brains.

    No, he's telling it how it is. How can we afford TV licenses and bus passes and triple locks if we end up with another major economic shock?

    41% think Remain have done more, 28% think leave have done more.

    On another subject, I've recently finished John Campbell's mighty biography of Roy Jenkins. I think Nick Palmer may have commented on this book in the past. Anyway, it's a superb read and I commend it to everyone on this site. It is of course very topical on the subjects of Europe and the direction of the Labour Party.

    Until now I've always been a Cameron supporter, and I think in many ways putting together and keeping together the Coalition is one of the most remarkable achievements in our political history. However, his campaign to stay in the EU has been appalling and his scaremongering over pensions is a new low, and one I would never have expected him to stoop to. The sooner he is gone the better. He has lost every iota of respect I ever had for him. As a die hard Tory supporter it pains me to write this post.

    He's by far the most talented person in the Tory party and won an election against all odds. An alternative Tory leader would have led to Ed Milliband being PM. Simples.

    As I said repeatedly last year - the Yougov sample is not the same as the UK, being full of highly opinionated people. Since the sample is now presumably fixed, to prevent attempted manipulation, it's results are now going to be fixed within a very small difference.

    Since our polls are a bit dull, here's the latest of a string of German polls showing the AfD on a slight decline. There was a row last week when a prominent AfD member said of a black German footballer that he admired his football but wouldn't want to live next to him.
