You've spoilt it tomtom.

Would have been more interesting to have a vote based on what people would vote if they had to vote today and see if views had changed in 4 months.


Ok. If I post up a new poll tomorrow (or you Shark I don't mind as long as it's the same question) and lock this thread then we can see whether there has been a shift in UBK EU opinion. Ja?

Anyone got any opinion on what may actually happen according to the polls i.e. a near 50-50 result? Could be a right shit show. Anyone got any potential scenarios they want to throw out there? What about the result being within 1% either way (49.5-50.5 or vice versa), whichever side "wins" gets shouted down and triggers a vote of no-confidence, a general election is called, Labour-SNP coalition wins with a huge majority and Corbyn is prime minister 6 months from now...(caveat I know very little about whwther this could *actually* happen so feel free to correct me!)

Corbin couldn't be prime minister, what a wet fish. We'll end up staying in and get walked all over but that's life. Migration will cause the Eu to implode in 5-10 years.

I'd recommend watching this. A few home truths about Brexit from Prof. Michael Dougan (univ. of Liverpool) who specialises in EU law.

Brexiters generally have the attention span of a gnat, especially when the subject matter is challenging their views.

This is the only place I've heard anything more than moronic tub thumping and flag waving, in support of Brexit.

Thanks for posting that - I've now shifted from v.v.scared to terrified.

After all the other parties confirming that they wouldn't contest Jo Cox's vacant seat, this fucking cockwomble and his "party" didn't get the memo.

Habrich/Shark might find it interesting. What the eu means for trade was especially interesting - and precisely how trade deals treaties might me negotiated was revealing. Very Scary stuff indeed.

What do we make of this;

It's been shared by a few people on my facebook feed. For the record, I'm voting to remain but I was intrigued to watch some of the remain propaganda out of curiosity...

Why do you think that is?

Have you seen the articles about how fast (and how many) tweets/pictures etc BF are deleting because he featured prominently...

I hadn't, but it's totally believable given this that I read yesterday - about the rise of right-wing parties in the "heartland" of West Yorkshire:

#bantz equivalent of premature ejaculation there Dense...back page headline writers across the country are fine-tuning their "out of Europe" puns in advance of England's inevitable exit on penalties to Germany!

I thought it was good, and made a nice companion to watching little Wales put mighty Russia to the sword, cunts.  :clap2:

I couldn't bear to watch such a long segment of propaganda (I find the misinformation filled campaign broadcasts on the telly bad enough) so skipped ahead to a random section. If you watch from about the 36 minute mark you're treated to a charming sketch that plays on every stereotype going and completely misrepresents the issue. Worth watching it to see the subnormal level of intelligence that much of the Leave campaign has pitched at.
