BTW, is anyone of "remain" persuasion bothered about the Leave camp's attempts to create new policy on the fly,
Citation NeededI believe at the last count, the Leave camp had spent the so-called saving that would arise from leaving the EU eleven times over already.
(I think by page 26 of this thread, none of us are going to convince the others to change their position, so it's really just friendly water cooler talk at this point...)
After all, there's a world of difference between:
1) Vote for this and you can have: A or B or C or D or E.
2) Vote for this and you can have: A and B and C and D and E.
1) is the true situation
2) Is the way the high-profile spokespeople for Leave have been talking about the situation
I assume restrictions have been put on pro for for campaigns on television and in the media, so is this just a cheeky way of advertise a gambling website, with a hidden agenda?!?!
There's a world of difference between every family actually losing £4,300 a year & the remote possibility of their share of UK GDP being reduced by £4,300 a year. Wouldn't you agree?
Even The Guardian didn't fall for that one.

Is that a concession?
Whereas the discredited £350 million claim is being repeated several times a day (over 500 press mentions in the last week) - it's still on the side of the Leave battle bus, for goodness sake!
.
Still hoping you get your head and your abacus out of your back side and see beyond the economics of the issue. Perhaps go to the area's where immigration has made peoples lives intolerable.(I think by page 26 of this thread, none of us are going to convince the others to change their position, so it's really just friendly water cooler talk at this point...)

Edwin you are looking at this like you look at a general election, policies that either stand up or don't stand up. This is not a general election, this is a decision on the direction of the country for the foreseeable future. It simply can't be wrong or right based on short to medium term economics. If we were in the Euro our challenge would be far greater. As it is whatever the short term affects the country can be steered onto a profitable course. It could well mean those that can afford it best might have to bite the bullet for a short while. It's impossible for anyone to predict the strength of the pound and our stock market, whether interest rates will rise, if house prices fall and what our credit rating will be and what effect that will have.I believe at the last count, the Leave camp had spent the so-called saving that would arise from leaving the EU eleven times over already. In other words, they keep promising new things on a near daily basis, which are all due to be paid for with the same relatively small pot of cash - but they never make that aspect clear.
So for anyone not following the subject very closely (i.e. the majority of the electorate) it sounds at face value like a Brexit would bring a cascade of goodies, whereas at best they'll get ONE thing from it - after that, there will be nothing left in the kitty because all the savings will have been spent.
This seemed somewhat apt (as well as amusing)
Like an abusive marriage, the desire to get away must be greater than the certainty of the post leaving situation.Has anyone read the article (telegraph I think) which discusses how the exit would work ? its a long read but interesting. I can't find it now
Its interesting that during the possible 2 yr exit process we can change our mind and say oh poopy this isn't working. So we can try setting up on our own and hopefully if the plans don't all work out we can return to servitude and kowtowing.
No personal offence meant.There's no need to be so offensively personal.
