    Shame people haven't got better things to do with their time. Than try and connect totally unrelated issues. Another nail in the coffin for politics in this country which continues to degenerate to even lower depths.

    Voters should know who they are getting into bed with.

    Informed voters - that's what we want.
    Thomas Mair, alleged killer of British MP Jo Cox, was a longtime supporter of the neo-Nazi National Alliance.

    Something clearly you are not. If that's the level of debate that you wish to engage at. As adds no value to the discussion.

    You belittle the process with every post. With every strawman and ridiculous, repetitive accusation and assertion.

    I didn't vote to leave anything. I left the UK for my own reasons. As I've stated countless times before, there are many reasons for acting beyond a like or dislike of the EU's policy towards freedom of movement.

    Although I didn't know it at the time, not sharing an island with you was one of the advantages of leaving. Why I don't just go on ignoring your boring nonsense is a mystery.

    you preach that a country of 65 million is mad to try to live in the wide world
    you go to live in a country of only 27 million

    you say you do that that for your 'own reasons'
    I hold my views for my 'own reasons' and so do countless others.

    the nature of a referendum on a single issue does involve some repetitive argument on both sides.

    Oh dear.

    Resorting to insults in a debate.

    You know what they say - Insults are the arguments employed by those who are in the wrong.....

    Who is responsible for this degeneration? If you, (Farage, not you) bang on and on an on about immigration as the reason for a country's problems, it is only going to end in one way. That is why it is such a sensitive, complex issue. That is why solutions have to cross national boundaries. That is why we need to be in the EU.....to be at the table making the decisions. One country doing a Brexit and putting up the wall, (or trying to) solves nothing! It's a puerile response.....indicative of the mealy mouthed, self centred, small time thinking of those promoting it!

    It's all getting a bit nasty eh?

    After what happened yesterday, I thought a bit of reflection, humility and humanity wouldn't go amiss, but alas.... :(

    I think I'll bow out of the debate (or what goes for it) and I'll see you all after the referendum. Bye! :wave:
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    Oh dear indeed. Your post wasn't in good taste. Perhaps a better understanding of history will give you a better perspective.

    Suggest you look up the meaning of debate. Far better to have an open mind than a closed one. Particularly one that's been spoon fed with a particular view of the world.

    If you regard my comments as an insult. Then about time you grew up and learnt to have a thicker skin. As sounds as if you get agitated very easily. Particularly when people don't agree with you.

    Assuming Jo Cox was shot by a Neo Nazi I can't help but feel that this puts the Brexit campaign a long way back. People don't want to feel like they're aligned with a bunch of violent skinheads.

    Frankly I find your 'assumption' to be one of the most pathetic and opportunistic pieces of drivel ever constructed.

    I think the plan is to make the entire referendum process so massively tedious and boring that nobody could ever bear to go through it again.

    I think that no matter what the outcome is next week, everyone can all agree that we don't want this to happen again. Preferably ever again. I can't think of a more divisive and unpleasant process that doesn't involve taking arms.

    We have already had "Project Fear".

    Not to be outdone, now we have "Project McFear from our Scottish cousins !

    It's weird isn't it. Leave campaign warn about an over dominant bigger brother of the EU; SNP warn of an over dominant bigger brother of Westminster...

    ...but they are different things. One is right and just, the other isn't :rotfl:
