That subjects like DanaC feel they need the EU to protect them from their own government says more.

Nope. Legally we are citizens. There's a very small number of people who are legally 'subjects'.

It would be incorrect to put Pug pee in your tea, but when the Queen says you must, the government says you must, the power says you must, you must.

I think she's saying that as of 1 January 1983 it's PC to say BC and that's no BS.

We'll I'm a strange beastie, I vote SNP but will be voting out in the Ref, why because the EU has morphed into a many headed monster and it is not what we voted for in the 70's.
Then it was about economic union as a trading block against the economic giant the USA, not as it's turning into a united states of Europe with Germany and France calling the shots. Despite what the official SNP stance is there are many in the party against the EU but they may toe the party line in the hope of another independence ref. There is also the immigration issue, now before I'm shouted down as a racist please hear me out I have no qualms about any creed colour of anyone wishing to come to the UK to better themselves work and contribute, but successive governments have not funded public services to cope. Where I live it take on average 3 weeks to see a Doctor that's how I ended up in hospital with a pulmonary embolism recently and nearly died, just because I couldn't get a doctors appointment to check me over early enough. |

Is there an issue with Eastern Europeans taking up immigration slots in GB that would have been Pakistani or Indian? I heard someone selling the idea that British Curry was suffering from a lack of knowledgeable cooks. Is Britain losing its Britishness?

This whole mess exists because David Cameron did not even have balls to take on the issue. As a result, his own party and their coalition partner are fractured. He created this mess by not acting as a leader.
Moving on, irrelevant to what happens tomorrow, what will happen to Britian's leaders? If Brexit is approved, will Scotland withdrawal from the UK? That is likely. A problem directly traceable to so many Britains who do not even know who represents them in Brussels and have no idea how the European Parliament works or is even structured. Ignorance means emotions create decisions. |

Fuck me, tw, not one mention of children ;p
I jest - and very much agree. personally, I don't see that this referendum was necessary or desirable. This was something that required leadership. The public are being asked to vote on something that is so mired in decades of misinformation and propaganda, even many who are relatively politically engaged have very little understanding of the facts of EU membership.

All I know is that the EU has too many regulations that mention the word pillow!

A steady trickle of needy underclass could break Socialism once the masses realize their cut is being taken... how quickly things are changing
The US has managed it all along as a wholly immigrant nation; the immigrants become successful in their second and third generations, and assimilate, so they're productive and no longer needy. This will happen in Britain too, if the economy and the people accept this fate. The tweaker said this about his illegal Mexican: "His kid went to American school, now he's an American." |
