The fact you can now get odds of 10/1 for "out" suggests its not as close as some are hoping.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-22524363282185442042016-06-23T14:04:32.681+01:002016-06-23T14:04:32.681+01:00I was speaking to a Spanish friend yesterday and h...I was speaking to a Spanish friend yesterday and he gave a warning about Brexit. <br /><br />When, in an unofficial referendum, Catalunya voted last year to say they wanted independence from Spain. People in the rest of Spain replied voluntarily by boycotting their goods, wine production and manufacturing suffer particularly badly. As a result many companies moved the Head Offices from Barcelona to other cities in the rest of Spain.<br /><br />My friend said that many people have become fed up with the UK requiring special treatment. If we vote to leave, their frustration will lead to boycotts British goods to demonstrate their dissatisfaction and their governments will be making strong overtures to businesses to move from the UK to mainland Europe, with tasty EU grants available to encourage them.<br /><br />However I'm sure Boris, Tag and Bobtail have thought that through!!<br />Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09638895424858977693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-86222472554156658742016-06-23T12:56:40.180+01:002016-06-23T12:56:40.180+01:00If a UK politician of proper stature had gone to t...If a UK politician of proper stature had gone to the EU Commission and/or Council saying that because English was an unofficial second language of Europe it was distorting the Single Market and therefore the aims of the EU, we would probably have had a better reception and hammered out a way forward.<br /><br />Unfortunately, we instead had a selection of politicians who thought they could talk over everyone else just because they'd been in their alma mater's Debating Society.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15878421641177302569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-64513830574527565102016-06-23T11:16:17.081+01:002016-06-23T11:16:17.081+01:00Pavilion Opinions @pavilionopinion

All of them are at the least good social democratic virtues. The kind of thing we would never even get near under an unrestrained tory government. The last thirty-odd years have been bad enough, but would have been much, much worse without the best of the European Union.<br /><br />Yet I vote Remain reluctantly. Basically the reason is the <i><b>worst</b></i> of the Union, which is the bankers and their system who control it and profiteer from it. Had we been in the ERM there is little doubt we would have suffered the same inflicted misery as Portugal, Ireland, Greece and Spain. Do we really need to list the horrors visited on the innocent citizens of those old nations? We can make all the sophist arguments we like but the fact remains that a whole European generation have had their lives destroyed by an iniquitous and corrupt economic system, capitalism.<br /><br />But leaving the Union only to hand it over to an even worse provably rotten gang of establishment thieves and mass murderers is not a sensible option.<br /><br />So, painful as it is, I vote Remain to fight for pan-European decency and honesty as best we can. We can't do that on the outside.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-37556305470735921982016-06-23T10:26:49.917+01:002016-06-23T10:26:49.917+01:00That's exactly how I feel, exactly how I think...That's exactly how I feel, exactly how I think, and exactly the reasons I shall vote Remain. My parents lived through 2 World Wars, my father was wounded at Salerno, their wish was for unity to remove the madness from Europe so their children would not suffer like they did. We've had peace in my lifetime - no reason to change now when the likes of spivs like Farage, Gove and Johnson are only in it for their own self-aggrandisement.petomane33https://www.blogger.com/profile/11298785001658543392noreply@blogger.com
