Going back to the £5,000, which I believe is rubbish anyway, but say it was actually true.

Is £5,000 that high a place for us to be in full unhindered control of our futures?

Would the folks of China and Saudi Arabia think £5,000 is a high price for their political freedom?


Even if it were £5,000 it would be in the pockets of the CEOs around Britain and certainly not yours, At the Bottom of the ladder losing 50 Rungs above us won't affect us but if your perched at the top then Every rung must seem important provided you deliberately leave a few rungs in the middle missing to stop anyone else from reaching the top.

WTF are you on about? The £5000 is what it was going to cost the Country for each person. It was not a sum that was going to be paid to anyone or by anyone. #-o #-o

The EU sells more INTO the UK than it buys from it, the car market alone covers that statement, we may sell jags and landies but the incoming flood of Pugs, [edited by admin], BMW, Audi, VW, Seat, Porsche, Skoda,etc, etc, etc far exceeds our output, ive a feeling we are more important to them than they are to us

if they give me £5K in cash, now, I promise to vote :wink:



The companies who employ these migrants get £5K a year for two years. I wonder if they're voting?

On the Union Flag the thick white part of the diagonal stripe should be at the top of the flag on the flagpole side. With that image it doesn't matter whick way up it is there is no thick part of the diagonal white stripe at the top.

So now a Brexit could lead to mass warfare and the like. :---)

However if that was the case, what sort of a Prime Minister would allow a vote in the first place on an issue that could eventually lead us to slaughter on such a huge scale? :-k

Round or not the Thicker white strip should be on the upperside of the red diagonal stripe on the Flagpole side of the flag and at the lower edge of the red
diagonal stripe on the side furthest away from the flagpole and also your round one is symmetrical through the horizontal plane rather than asymmetrical through the horizontal plane you nauight man.

I should imagine that Switzerland have a major problem - The poor sods managing not to get into wars, and then the dilemma of what to do about managing without EU trade :roll:

The EU is like a Cosmic Blackhole, It's gravitational pull gets larger as it expands and sucks in more and more nations within it's gravitational field, once it can absorb or swallow no more it will implode. My bet Turkey will be the one to many that causes it's destruction and ours as well unless we leave it now.
