'Usually people vote by self interest which should ward off a leave vote. If people think they'll be poorer outsider the EU, they'll vote in.
That said nationalism does funny things with people's heads. Nationalism is such a nihilistic force, it can lead to people acting against any kind of logic, self interest, or anything else that promotes their well being.
Although political ideology has thankfully had it's day in the sun for now, nationalism and religion are still around unfortunately and unleashing their horrible consequences on the world.'
who used to tease Leavers for weeks
he'd use insults and trolling
and plain made up polling
conveyed through the arse twixt his cheeks.
What? Someone just advised me that the polls are level? Who'd ave thunk it?
So what is the point of this article? How about an article on
"WHY HAS PROJECT FEAR FAILED TO GET A LEAD"

It seems to be quite an effective tactic.
In reality none of these are terribly big risks. They don't justify the hyperbole of Remainers.
That seems a very small figure to be fair !
You have, however, given me the idea.
P.S. Can't imagine that a big chunk of the Rumanian (seem to be making a mark as 'Big Issue' sellers) and Bulgarian intake are doing much for the GDP per capita ..
Do another...do another......
who used to put goats down his breeks
and there once inserted
a smile most perverted
would stay on his face for two weeks
Who vacuumed his pad with a Dyson
He tripped on the stairs
And damaged the hairs
On his proudly stuffed Bison
Michael Gove is probably the most sensible voice on the leave team, and the only one I could listen to vaguely- and he really is odd to be honest. Apart from the narcissists and opportunists, the leave team are populated by a veritable rag tag of fruitcakes, closet racists and loonies to paraphrase the great DC.
IMF: The UK’s exit from the European Union could cause “severe regional and global damage”.
'I'm re-posting my post from the last thread because it is pertinent here.
'Usually people vote by self interest which should ward off a leave vote. If people think they'll be poorer outsider the EU, they'll vote in.'
Lord Rose told us if we vote Leave wages will go up & George Osborne has told us house prices will come down.
If you are right about self interest then voters can look forward to a wage increase and thousands of people will finally be able to get on the property ladder.

Joe Biden has moved into 36/ 48 for some reason in the POTUS market.
who thought all the kippers were freaks
his posts fast and hectic
made them apoplectic
till the tears ran down his fat cheeks*
*Ive never met Alistair but Nick Palmer assures me he's a heavyweight
There was a young bloke called Tyson
Who vacuumed his pad with a Dyson
He tripped on the stairs
And sucked off the hairs
Of his proudly stuffed Bison
the problem as I see it is there is no "right" answer. People have differing priorities and what's right for one is probably wrong for someone else. It's vote for what you think is right for you personally and when as a nation we've done that 40 nillion times we might have a balanced answer.
I've just been on the phone to HMRC's Stamp Duty helpline, with the simplest of all conceivable simple questions about Stamp Duty on shares. My question was: if you have a share sale where more than one class of shares is being sold simultaneously (same seller and same purchaser), and on one class of shares the value of the transaction is less than the £1000 cut-off below which Stamp Duty is not payable, does the whole thing count as one related transaction (so you pay stamp duty on the whole lot), or separate transactions where you pay stamp duty only on those classes of shares where the sales value is over £1000?
Answer (after putting me on hold to check with colleagues): They have been asked this many times before, and they don't know.
What really gets me about this sort of stuff is that they have the gall to threaten directors and company secretaries with criminal sanctions for getting this sort of detail wrong, but can't answer the most trivial questions themselves.
What a pity. When I was a youngster the English still had enormous pride in their country and it's history.
Now many English feel they should have been born anywhere but England. They lack pride and indeed, seem to hate their country. So much so, that they would like to make it a department of the EU, and bury themselves in it's amorphous mass.
(1) it's legitimate to point out where organisations have got forecasts wrong before
(2) point out their funding and interests and how this might compromise their objectivity
(3) that it's a decision for the British people, not international organisations
I think 'conspiracy' should be left unsaid, but people left to draw their own conclusions from their record and their interests.
Who went everywhere by bike
When he stopped off to vote
He forgot about his coat
And ended up wet as a pike
“If you Brexit you must be prepared
For your world to subside”
But the Leavers replied
“You’re an ass with the brain of a bird”
'So Leave spokespeople have been treating the nonsense being spouted by Remain and other establishment interests with the contempt it deserves. Good.'
At least Andrew Neil & Michael Portillo were having a laugh last night at Dave's world war 3 warning.
I'm not sure what the agenda is here (if there is one). I'll be honest - I don't really care what the IMF, President Obama, David Cameron, Antifrank, Scott P or anyone else says. Indeed, I don't even much care if there is a temporary economic reversal from us leaving the European Union.
I understand there are those who do and those who are terrified they might lose out on £4,300 by 2030 if we don't vote to REMAIN and those who fear we will collapse into darkness if we don't stay with the EU.
The analogy of the jailer telling the prisoner how lucky he is to be behind bars comes readily to mind.
So, what do we do with the millions who are going to demonstrate their hatred for England next month? How can the UK thrive with them living here?
So lets keep it in PB terms. I would not decry it if Mr. Alanbrooke were to come out in favour of remain. I might, privately, question his sanity/integrity but I would not decry his opinion. I would listen very carefully to all he said and make up my own mind. But that is what I do when the IMF woman, or the BoE bloke or any other person, on either side, chirps up.
Now people/organisations who had influenced or tried to influence me before and whose predictions had proved a complete crock of s**t, well, those I tend to ignore off the bat.
Remain should really worry about the Debates because apart from the tired scare stories they really haven't got a leg to stand on when it comes to logic and rational debate. Norway, Switzerland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and countless other countries on this planet survive on their own outside the European Union and people know this. That's the plain truth.
'Economists were put on the Earth to make astrologers look good'
Moaning like whores like some Leavers are won't do it.
They told me I wouldn't need to file a tax return for one particular tax year (after inquiring whether I needed to), and to ignore any request by them to file one for the subsequent tax year.
But they went to the trouble of actually mailing the request to file for the subsequent tax year anyway!
If they knew I didn't have to file for the subsequent tax year, why did they bother sending the request to do so?
Part of our gross contribution as well.
I've not heard it called that before!

really where would you be without us ? And that's before all the opportunities we give you to redevelop your city centres.
And even if you do win on this basis, there will be another referendum because you are still not all being honest on where the EU is headed: political union. If you do manage to win on this cocktail of lies and scare stories in 2016, there will be another referendum because you have failed to openly declare where it is heading. Before the next treaty (2025).
And the week before.
And the week before...
Would that either side engaged with the merits of the case, never mind both.
That's it. There's a limit to how 'bad' things can be. And no-one seriously suggests we won't have a free trade deal with them even if we do exit, and we will still buy, trade, sell, visit and work there just as we do with the vast majority of the world with whom we have no such favourable arrangement. In exchange those EU restrictions on the rest of the world immediately lift, if we choose to do so, and those who wish to (or must) continue to follow EU regs can and will do so.
Long-term it's totally immaterial; we are talking about short-term transition costs, during the 1-4 year Brexit period, and even these are being exaggerated at the moment because nobody is putting anything on the table regarding how they'd practically approach it in the event of a Brexit.
Deliberately.
