    Mmmmm I was absolutely for out but...............

    Immigration lets face it is the big concern for many. Reality is it will hardly slow if we leave.

    Can we really afford another recession ? OK fair call it is or could be scaremongering. That is the thing we wont know nor cannot know until it happens.

    This referendum could end up with people voting out because that detest our present government. Fair call again I too hate them with a passion. BUT..... If we do leave and they remain in power we will have the biggest bunch of clowns ever governing the country with NO restraints placed upon them by the EU.

    I hate we are ruled in many ways by Brussels. Please someone show me any party in this country that we can and/or should trust to rule unbridled.

    Perhaps I'm being selfish and considering my agenda ? But its hard enough as it is without risking a huge downturn.

    The real answer is we have no REAL information.

    For that reason I will either vote in or not vote at all. :blue thumb::blue thumb:

      I agree that it's difficult to think of any party that can be trusted to rule well but is that a good enough reason to allow an even worse bunch to have control?

        I just can't help thinking the grief that could be caused is not worth the risk.

        To be honest the whole thing is so hugely complex I can't understand it and I bet most feel the same. It's hard to vote with any conviction when I don't understand all of the arguments .

          Can I just add to re-address the balance of Miraflores' post that ITV ARE ALSO providing coverage from 10 pm through to 10-30 AM Friday morning, presented by Tom Bradby, Julie Etchingham, James Mates and Robert Peston.

          This will also be broadcast live around Europe and the World.

                  well....a few hours ago I was begging for some fuel because I have been held en route for a minimum of two hours alltogether and when I finally get near the petrol station where I planned to refill there was a flood there and traffic was diverted just literally 2 minutes away before getting there!!

                  At which point, left with a few drops of petrol, I didn't have a clue where another refill station was and I panicked and went into some garage where a compassionate man provided me with enough fuel to last me to yet another petrol station....pheeew

                  PS this morning I drove through a flood

                    It's what I expected after having travelled around the country and absorbed what appeared to be the opinions of the people I met. :noidea:

                      What gets my goat is the likes of Alistair Campbell who is saying that the referendum should never have taken place. How arrogant that they think the British people don't deserve a say in their own future.

                      It's now statistically confirmed that the UK has voted to leave the EU.

                      I hope that the mud slinging will now stop and everyone will put together to do what's best for Britain given the circumstances.

                          I agree with you but, as I said earlier, the pigs are grooming their wings and getting ready to take off! :snorky:
