The massive media push by Government, Banksters, Obama etc to convince people to vote to stay, is being done to try to minimise the extent to which that vote will have to be rigged.

I will guarantee you now that the voting result will be made to look ever so close, but with Brexit votes just losing out.
Indeed.

Re: Getting ready for Brexit.

Every one that I have spoken to or them to me are saying out.
Not one has said stay in.

I think you are right unfortunately. A young person interviewed on Radio4 the other day (foreign obviously) said that only old people will vote to leave because they want to go back to how things were in the fifties. He also said that young people want to live in 'The real World.'

What do young people know?

The ironic thing is that these same young people are likely to be the ones to suffer the most if they get their way!

God help us.
Agreed, but we don't have anything like that because the Tories have sold everything off to foreign 'investors' probably because 'it's the right thing to do.' If we leave, do people really imagine that the likes of Gove would really spend the money that currently goes to the EU on the Health Service, Education or any other public services? Of course not, just look at his track record in putting education on the road to privatisation. The current 'debate' amongst the Tories about this referendum shows just what a bunch of lairs they are; if they are so happy to disagree with each other and score points on this issue, then how can we believe anything they tell us during 'normal' times?

Re: Getting ready for Brexit.

I look forward to the vote with great interest. It won't affect us one way or another so it is just interesting.

Personally I think Britain will stay, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if the vote mirrors the 1975 referendum ie 65% to 35% (ish)

We shall see in three weeks or so.

Getting ready for Brexit. I wonder if anyone has actually started planning for an exit, not heard anything from anyone about what we will do.

Re: Getting ready for Brexit.

Britain is a very small country nowadays it has no empire, thank goodness, and cannot stand alone. I am of the opinion we would rue the day we left the EU, if it happens.

Never been fond of Mr Ed, strange bedfellows these days.

Had a black laugh the other day when i saw a photo of Osbourne, Cable, and Balls, striding down the street hand in hand gland in gland espousing the Bremain, message.

I wanted out before the referendum, and im sure Britain will do well if we leave.

Still 3 to 1 in our poll for exit.
