That Margaret Thatcher mention, really?? XD

More the fact she was a woman than what she did.

 

[OverBlood 3]

Only 5% of our GDP goes towards research in child health. The rest comes from the EU, so where will the rest come from?

 

[Tak3n]

Actually they didn't. Their error margin was higher than everyone elses. Meanwhile the conservative in charge of leave thinks the result will be 53-47 for remain.

Ok, did not know that

 

[AHA-Lambda]

More the fact she was a woman than what she did.

Yeah I get why she mentioned it but probably not the wisest move

 

[IdreamofHIME]

I haven't seen a lot of this but the debate seems like total rubbish. Even ignoring the substance of what people are saying, everyone is stumbling through their lines and talking over each other.

6 people who don't want to listen to each other standing in front of 10000 cheering and booing people while being moderated by a dithering old man.
What could go wrong?

 

[Mr Cola]

I had almost forgot the Lib Dems existed

 

[Kabouter]

Only 5% of our GDP goes towards research in child health. The rest comes from the EU, so where will the rest come from?

5% of GDP seems like a lot to spend on research in one field.

 

[Madchad]

Oh boy here it goes. Think this subject will get rowdy.

 

[OverBlood 3]

'We can't control our borders'

Here's how many people we stopped from coming into our country...

5% of GDP seems like a lot to spend on research in one field.

It wasn't the GDP what was it I can't find the fucking data now. One second.

 

[ferrasvansen]

Not a wise move when the majority of the people you need to swing to leave are Labour voters.

 

[Moosichu]

5% of GDP seems like a lot to spend on research in one field.

I think he means that of all funding in that field in this country, %5 comes from domestic sources.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Yeah this will go well :-/

The guy who runs http://politicalbetting.com said he is starting to doubt the status quo vote is coming...

he seems neutral, checked his site and does not look obvious who he favours

Was that Khan laughing at Boris? Seems petty tbh.

the thing I learnt about polls from the last election is they are fucking useless. They will always say things"it's close" or "45/45/10 undecided" because they are clueless.

 

[Madchad]

Lol savaged guess thats what the people think of that "deal"

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Boris Johnson "I'm not racist, I'm proud to be of Turkish descendants..

..vote Brexit before Turkey joins the EU and come to rape our women and steal jobs".

"Celebrate immigrants" wink wink nudge nudge



We're fucked, aren't we?

 

[ferrasvansen]

Wow project hate.

'Funding for child health research is fragile, representing 5% of the annual UK public and charitable research expenditure of approximately £2.2 billion'

[AHA-Lambda]

Oooh

 

[Hazzuh]

I cringe every time a politician feels the need to prefix NHS with "our" to try and seem like they care more about it.

 

[Moosichu]

NHS wasn't built for working people. It was built for everyone who turns up. Working or not.

I really dislike that term.

 

[RedShift]

I cringe every time a politician feels the need to prefix NHS with "our" to try and seem like they care more about it.

It's almost as bad as when they emphasise the 'Great' in Great Britain.

Oh look, the BNP.

 

[Heckler456]

80 years on from WWII, and it's still as easy to rile up a crowd with us vs them horseshit. I can't believe these people are getting away with this. Hearing the leave crowd speak, they do in fact seem like the equivalent to creationists, and a very significant fraction of the UK is apparently unable to see through the ruse.

 

[Juicy Bob]

I cringe every time a politician feels the need to prefix NHS with "our" to try and seem like they care more about it.

I hate the concept of 'the British people' as if we're some single entity too.

Someone like me who grew up on the south coast has had a totally different experience of Britain than someone who grew up in the NE of England, let alone people in Wales, Scotland, NI...

 

[*Splinter]

Wow what a low blow, not a good look.

I don't think there's much doubt that LEAVE have run a slicker, more convincing campaign. Shame they do it by lying through their teeth.

I cringe every time a politician feels the need to prefix NHS with "our" to try and seem like they care more about it.

"me as a mum"

 

[Goodlife]

Any one know if these 2 remainers are mothers?

 

[Daffy Duck]

I'm gettin really worried now that we will vote leave.

Even though I am in, I think Leave have done very well in these debates and they are doing well in this debate too.

it is very fucking depressing

That is it, Tim Fallen is off my Xmas card list....not acceptable attacking Gove like that

 

[OverBlood 3]

We don't want to let these EU people in so we can let these other none EU people in.

Riiight? How does that solve the immigration issue?

 

[JonCha]

Remain are going after the immigration issue in a way they haven't before (at least from what I've seen). An obvious sign they're recognising they are weak on it.

I also think that Leave did fairly well on the economy and held their own, which hasn't usually been the case.

they're the right kind of immigrant.... if you know what I mean

 

[Tak3n]

Even though I am in, I think Leave have done very well in these debates and they are doing well in this debate too.

I will say this, it is easy for leave to say anything, where as remain can really only say that things will stay the same...

you can not counter that easily

 

[RedShift]

Glad Khan pulled out that disgraceful map from Leave.

 

[Hazzuh]

I think Remain are coming off as a little smug.

 

[Moozo]

I thought it is a tough one as the rebate is not regular, Chris Grayling on 5live today tried to rebut it but he got tongue tied about it as well

I more mean the "350m for the NHS" one, as a percentage of annual spending the EU membership fee is minuscule and wouldn't make a dent in the NHS.

 

[Jimbob Smalls]

If Turkey isn't going to join the EU why are there even discussions on it at Brussels?

 

[*Splinter]

Lol, audience getting told off

TAKE NOTE, AMERICA

 

[Madchad]

Exactly lol

 

[jelly]

Yeah and all the other stuff they would need to fund more.

This debate is bordering on unwatchable.

 

[OverBlood 3]

If Turkey isn't going to join the EU why are there even discussions on it at Brussels?

If Turkey turned their shit around and they were cool again why not let them in the gang?

 

[IdreamofHIME]

If Turkey isn't going to join the EU why are there even discussions on it at Brussels?

Because they made a formal request in the late 1980s?

 

[*Splinter]

Do Turkey even want to join? I thought they were moving away from joining, if anything

 

[Hazzuh]

She literally said "those greedy bankers" lmao

 

[avaya]

How the fuck does this woman have the Labour whip. Literally what the fuck .

 

[RedShift]

If Turkey isn't going to join the EU why are there even discussions on it at Brussels?

Discussions were a condition of the deal on Syrian migrants travelling from Turkey into Europe.

The EU obviously isn't going to actually let it happen any time soon.

 

[Scousefury]

Every audience question starts "i feel". feelings mean shit base the questions on facts!
