    Whenever the word 'boarder' is used in any Brexit debate, I dis-engage with that debater.

    Please tell me your (mis)spelling of disengage was ironic?

    Anyway continuing on, in my opinion, one side is lying through their teeth.

    How do I know, well the choice is so opposite, they can't both be telling the truth.

    I would like to see a debate with all participants wired up to lie detectors.

    Now THAT would be interesting!

    Cheers fj

    I would also like to see answers using the words will and would, not maybe and could.

    It's a bit like weather forecasting, it might rain tomorrow, there again it might not!

    There is no difference in how this BREXIT campaign is going to my weather forecasting example, remember 1987, no hurricane on its way!

    I'm not sure weather the remain side are lying or just having an emotional spasm, judging by the rhetoric none of the remainians know their history (or they are lying to cover it up).

    Agreed.

    I was waiting for someone to bring up this xeno or racist card.

    Me too. Very sad and nasty.

    It is a way that people with no argument stifle argument.

    Look what is happening in France. Workers rights are being reformed at this moment and its going down like a lead balloon. Basically changing the law and operating a company level negotiations procedure for workers rights amongst other things. So companies now call the shots good or bad thing i do not know.
    But you can guarantee Brussels has forced Hollandes hand on this.

    You could say this is the same as the periodic tantrums we briefly hear of the french workers. Its definitely something bigger and is obviously not being paraded around the media for us "thicko's" to see and have an opinion on

    A lot is also happening with Greece and its debt crisis, again just a gloss over from the media.

    It's stirring up in Europe that for sure. If we vote leave its not going to affect us only, it will send massive shockwaves through the EU.

    Whilst I do not believe in big governments I don't think it is in the long term workers interest to have corporations calling the shots.

    Employer like tesco (and other retailers) are allowing their workers to be subsidised by working tax credits and it really is a scandal, they should give people a full time contract so they can get a mortgage (or at least save for a deposit).

    Some people may not want to own their own home but many people do and many have "wasted" valuable years on part time contracts and the executives should be ashamed.

    Another example of F U Jack i'm alright.

    The EU needs some shockwaves sending through it, it may even put some colour in those grey faces.

    Of course, It's a left wing thing, they all do it.

    They think it gives them the moral high ground because they have the monopoly on compassion.
