    I hear the spaghetti harvest is looking poor this year yet the European Commission has been curiously quiet on the matter.

    It is rumored that Crashy is going to be the chancellor of this newly formed country, and that they plan to pay for the bridges/tunnels to the IOM by taxing landlords.

    What landlords? Rumour has it (amongst the staff at the big O&G firms) that someone is on the cusp of announcing a virtually free/unlimited energy source. Once that is done, I don't expect rentiers to be in business for much longer.

    If we were able to split off Scotland, Wales, NI and most of the North I suspect we could probably afford to scrap income tax in the rUK - can't think of a better reason to vote for Brexit myself.

    Plus then we might be able to reject the mortgage IQ tests.

    Wouldn't it be weird if an astronomer really did spot a comet heading for the earth this morning, and tried to raise the alarm.

    is there anything of a negative nature thats not going to happen if theres a Brexit? some of the claims are much more far fetched and imaginative than I expected them to be

    It wont be long until the end of humanity is claimed if there's a Brexit, I reckon a couple of weeks before the vote we will see that one
