Just before the football season starts.
Oh yeah, he was an awful leader. I did say his job was poorly done. I guess the guy himself was fine for me.
People like May seem like genuinely awful people, Cameron never portrayed himself as such.
They said £350 million a week; £50 million a day is the same thing.
I did chuckle at this also

Numerous EU countries you can work in as an English speaker. Ireland obviously. But also Sweden, Holland.

Lol im an idiot.
And they'll vote in favour of the former.
Oh man, I haven't read this since it came through the door, which feels like forever ago now. It's funny how little bullshit is in the little pamphlet and how much of it is being vindicated, or at least discussed in lots of detail.
Pity everyone bitched about how it was "publicly-funded Government propaganda" and promptly binned it.
....I should stop reading this thread; it makes me want to fling myself off the white cliffs of Dover.

my god, this ukip guy is fairly reasonable, what the hell? =/
I never liked Carswell until this, lol.
Why did she start insulting Conservative party members. sngjnkgkj
He's far better than his party tbh. Not sure why he joined.

Why do 'deprived northerners' keep getting blamed for Brexit? It was pretty much every major region of England except London.
Thanks for the advice.
Have thought about Denmark, Sweden and Ireland, but would prefer Germany, or maybe France if I like it there. (Haven't been to France yet, but going for the first time next year.)
Carswell? He used to be a Conservative MP; I know that might not explain normality but unlike the other UKIP loonies he actually has professional political credentials.
He basically spent most of election night apologising for Farage or UKIP in general.

Emily Thornberry reminds me of penis humiliation porn stars.
Focus on 'may have'. We've no idea what reality that clown has unleashed upon us yet, it's only been a week.

In France you definitely want to speak French. They can mostly speak English, but will sigh and roll their eyes at your lazy English ass if you don't speak French.Thanks for the advice.

why is the conservative guy attacking the ukip guy on the NHS??
ukip was not the official leave campaign, your party was

A Labour collapse means that UKIP become the opposition to the Tories, especially if they ignore the referendum result.
Carswell is one of the more sensible kippers. Or at least coherent.
Pretty much. Zero questions about EU Financial Passport and the very precarious situation re: Londons Financial hub which is goddamn central
Yeah huge chunks of the supposed affluent South voted for it as well and are now crapping their pants and the thought of losing all their money.
It is. We shout 'Article 50', go to the EU, sign some papers, throw money at the NHS and put all immigrants on buses, planes, ships and helicopters the same day.
Britain is great again
People hate the banks and they don't think they have anything to do with their life.
Yup - 2.2 Mill Leave, 1.5 mill leave in London wasn't it?
He probably wanted a seat and had more of a chance in whatever area he went for than being Conservative. Don't think that puts him in a great light either.

He was already a Tory MP...
He stepped down and ran as a UKIP MP after he changed party.

What the hell at that UKIP guy? Get Farage out and out him in a leadership position. I know he doesn't want to be leader, but I -as left wing as I am- actually agreed with him at points.
IIRC he had a CON seat and defected. Then he stood for the same seat for UKIP and got elected.
I never really understood why he jumped ship.
EDIT: Hazzuh beat me to it, like Michael Gove
Stand corrected. Weird choice. Someone in the Tory party piss in his cornflakes or something, maybe some private matter but whatever don't care that much.

Just like the security course was on wasn't giving the answers to the none English speakers pffft
I mean, the argument alone - "we're going to leave the EU, save 10 billion and invest half of it into the NHS" - is so ridiculously fucking naive, it boggles the mind how people can honestly believe that. It's barely better than "We're going to build a wall and the Mexicans are going to pay for it".
I expected as much. Either way, even if I could get by with English in some of the other countries I'd make the effort to learn the local language.When I travelled to Denmark for work I very quickly had to rely on the English skills of those I was working with. They didn't mind at all, but it was a humbling experience.

Thank god Russell Kane was there to bring up the tories as being the ones that will sell off the NHS, the idea that we can put more into the NHS while it is being drained and stripped away is ludicrous. That Labour woman also brought up the impact of a potential recession on the NHS and the potential lack of available funding. I'm glad she admitted Labour is in shambles (but it being a necessary opposition) and that Corbyn was elected by a majority of Labour voters.
All in all it wasn't all that bad today.
However, fuck that other woman for supporting Gove.
He lost me at two points: When he twisted that Labour woman's point and accused her of wanting to overturn the referendum result. And secondly when he said the promise was £100m a week for the NHS (which everyone - even in the audience - seemed to know was total crap).

The majority of the Tory party don't want to leave the EU. Because they aren't insane.
A small number do, including Carswell. Because they are insane.
So he switched party as he didn't feel that the party really wanted to leave Europe. Hence Cameron offering a referendum on the subject - to prevent more defections and a UKIP wave.
