The leave campaign got it spot on with using Gove a lot, he is so calm collected, he is a great debater you can tell

Referring to his performance on question time at the moment

it is the simple things, when Cameron does these things you can see all he wants to do is say what he thinks (sometimes not even what the question was) where Gove waits for the person to actually finish speaking

It's a sham he's such an unbelievably corrupt dick utterly in thrall to Murdoch.

Sure, but it's totally unfair that the fishermen weren't allowed to choose to fish themselves out of business. IT'S THEIR CHOICE DAMNIT.

Sort of off topic, but I took a module in population dynamics at uni and my lecturer told us something that blew my mind.

Sometimes for the fisherman, the best economic choice is to fish stocks to extinction and invest the money you make, because a lot of sea creatures replenish stocks at a slower rate than the average return on investments.

Basically you can't trust the fishing industry to make the right choice on fishing levels, they need to be regulated from the outside.
 
yep, it was a shit show

Osbourne, I am going to fuck anyone over who votes leave


57 Tory MP's....no you are not George, if you do we will block it

George, fuck you and your 57 Horses, Labour will help me push budget through

Corbyn: Labour will not support any Brexit punishment budget

George Osbourne

OK I think I have it worked out. Firstly I refuse to believe an evolved ape would be this incompetent. I have to believe at this point that everything the remain side are doing is aimed at NOT convincing leavers but SCARING the ever loving fuck out of people that want to remain. They want to scare their remain supporters so much that they will actually go out and vote to ensure that leave does not win.

The only other reality is that Georgie and Davie really are incompetent fuckwits and neither should be in charge of a Kebab stand let alone a multi-trillion dollar country

Ah democracy, so inconvenient isn't it? Our EU masters know best.

There you have it folks, anything not decided by referendum is not democracy. In case you haven't noticed you live in an indirect democracy where you elect representatives to a governing body. These representatives are then supposed to make informed decisions on your behalf, in order to avoid situations like, I dunno, an uninformed electorate voting themselves out of an economic bloc they massively benefit from due to race-baiting and utter lies from wealthy opportunists and their media backers.

Maybe you should take a glance at your monarchy and house of lords if you are indeed a champion of democracy? Both of which being utterly undemocratic compared to the EU.

Furthermore, I still don't understand why the concerns of just under 2 million people in Northern Ireland (some of whom would probably like to see reunification with the republic anyway) should somehow outweigh the concerns of the rest of the UK. Far too much political weight and money is spent on this anomaly across the North Channel.

You haven't a fucking clue, unsurprisingly. If you think either republicans are going to tolerate British border checkpoints, or unionists are going to tolerate reunification, you are bonkers. The rest of this is utter drivel, Northern Ireland more than anywhere else in the UK deals with the reality of bordering the EU on a daily basis and has benefitted massively from this, but now the livelihoods of the populace are at risk thanks to the lies of the Leave campaign.

And if you don't want to spend money on Northern Ireland then you're kind of fucked when the EU pulls out the massive investments it has made since the Good Friday agreement.

I am voting leave because I think the UK has played mother for far too long. It's time to step back and acknowledge that our days as a world power is over. I think we as a country would be a lot happier if we emulated the Nordic countries and countries like Canada and Australia, focusing on quiet diplomacy and not getting ourselves embroiled in foreign wars. Leaving the EU will reduce our international clout and will be the first step in shaking off our delusions of grandeur.

The EU is a fucking economic bloc, what are you even talking about now? Any involvement in foreign wars is due to your membership of NATO and the UN, except when you ignore their advice to follow America into the Middle East. Nothing to do with the EU.
 
Yeah I dislike Gove. But he answers questions far better then any person on the remain side.


Funny seems to me he sidesteps answering the questions. Would be nice if he actually answered some of the questions about financial consequences but he just ignores them and starts changing the subject, just like Cameron.

Worked for two elections. Though it doesn't work when your ex-mates want to pull a Julius Caesar on you.

conformation the Tory party is about to tear itself apart

Well honestly, what else could have happened? Tories are a member of Alliance of European Conservatives and Reformists and thus aligned with European Conservatives and Reformists in the EP. It's an eurosceptic party and group and there are some notable European nationalist parties in there. This should give some implication of their stance in and of the EU. Granted, ECR is not as crazy as EFDD or ENL, but to have Tories leading the remain campaign could only end in what we've seen.

But he does it a little less and seems far more confident when doing so. All MP's side step stuff, but Gove seems to not get annoyed etc when doing so. When Cameron and Osborne do the same, you can see them both panicking.

I love when Tories blather on about taking back control, of what? You sold it all off or hid accountability behind quangos.

Vote every 5 years for the same old shit and fuck off. The British don't even want to elect their head of state.

what he did was presume that Labour and anyone on remain would simply back him with his punishment rhetoric....

probably any other Labour leader might of done so to win, But Corbyn is unique in that way, and so when he said live at PMQ's he would not be supporting it, privately it would of been hugely embarrassing...

The PM tried to gloss it over by saying they did not want a budget either

I think Gove's learned from his experiences as the Secretary of State for Education, for better or for worse.

and I expect privately he hates Cameron for pulling him off that, he took years of flak to push reforms through, GE loomed and he got fucked over

Is immigration the main push for this exit?

That and EU black hole, taking our money is all I hear people shouting about. People in the coffee shop recently chatting about getting out breed, our services can't handle more people, they're all looking for hand outs, wait until Turks etc. arrive in their thousands. They talk like it's the end of days.

They are a loud bunch but hopefully not a majority.

Also worked in the Indy Refendum here in Scotland, won't work next time, since they all lied about our EU status being safe in UK.

Isn't it ironic now that one of the main discussions during the Scottish referendum campaign was how Scotland won't get into EU that easily and by voting No they actually voted to get out of the EU anyhow if the Brexit goes on?

Gives them another excuse to hold another referendum to get out if leave wins.

Yeah it was one of my concerns and hence why I voted to stay in UK, to say I'm pissed would be an understatement and I'm fucking raging but that's life, any future no campaign will have serious questions now over that, no one will believe them, thankfully.
 
As a Canadian watching from the sidelines and now looking at more articles, videos, etc... about it

It seems that it is really split and can prove to go either way with the Exit party gaining more and more favour.

At least I can say things are getting interesting with the world.

I wonder if Birtain will try to get even closer relationships with its former common wealth countries if they do indeed leave.

What has that got to do with anything?


Clearly my information is (many, I'm older than I thought) years out of date, but I remember there being a reasonable BNP following on there a few years back.. You don't think that the owner of a sites politics shapes the type of community it attracts? I swore off OCUK when the BNP story landed, and since got out of PC building so haven't had a reason to revisit who owns the place.

Farage at one point definitely said they would look for closer relationships with the Commonwealth.

At this stage I'm convinced we're voting out. Seems like a set deal, and Remain is struggling to make any effective counters.

Just saw a Brexit Ad. If it wasn't for the fact that I actually know my facts, I can see how it would be effective. Just the straight up lies and hyperbole are disgusting. :/

Would Britain leaving the EU theoretically make it easier for Americans who want to move there because we'd be on an equal playing field with EU nationals?

Just out of curiosity, once you've submitted a postal vote, it's not possible to change it, right?


I've just sent off mine and saw a "this is final" warning -

I'm fairly sure that normal elections you can override a postal vote by turning up on the day.

I can't see it making any difference, unless the UK and US governments make an agreement to make it easier.

But as American, it's pretty easy to move towards most countries isn't it already?
