Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

A senior US diplomat has said the world's nations are "praying" for a Remain vote in Britain's EU referendum.

Samantha Power, the US ambassador to the United Nations, used an interview to give a stark warning about the "ramifications" for the rest of the world of a Brexit vote - saying the ties that bind Britain to Europe cannot be "snipped in some tidy way".

Ms Power, a former adviser to Barack Obama, said of Britain's decision: "All I can say is that the membership of the UN will be gathering in prayer and support for the Yes vote in advance of that vote next month.

"People have really invested in the linkages among European countries. The idea that those can be snipped in some tidy way without ramifications for the people of the United Kingdom or across Europe and the world is not realistic.

A gathering of the impious, to importune God for the impossible:



"All I can say is that the membership of the UN will be gathering in prayer and support for the Yes vote in advance of that vote next month."

Run for those hills I tell ya.. it's the only way out

Migrants spark housing crisis:

Now EU tells Britain to build more homes as open borders send population soaring

European Commission report warned Britain heading for an 'acute' crisis
EU report, uncovered by Chris Grayling MP, said UK needs 220,000 a year
But it orders Britain to 'boost supply', instead of acknowledging migration
Grayling said building so many would change UK's 'nature and character'

Britain has been ordered by Brussels to build more houses – to cope with all the EU immigrants.

The European Commission warned the UK is heading for an ‘acute’ housing crisis caused by massive population growth.

It admitted that first-time buyers were being hit particularly hard and the situation could worsen, with official projections saying the UK needs at least 220,000 new houses a year. But, rather than acknowledging the clamour in the UK for stricter border controls to ease demand, the Commission ordered Britain to ‘take further steps to boost housing supply’.

The demand for more building is contained in a report into Britain’s housing market which was quietly slipped out on Wednesday.

So that's their answer just take up huge swaths of land just to satisfy the incompetent EU . I don't see that as the outers scaremongering Haystack just actual fact .

Do you see the word ORDERED there Freda , not advised or consulted with . Does that not tell you something .

This is why we must go .

Interesting and relevant Fred, as we tend to take for granted some of the things gained from being a member of a club, much easier to constantly find fault with a club membership for some. Weighing up the pro's and con's takes a fair time after "listening" to people with info on how the EU works overall. Not easy as there is a lot to consider.

Attending meetings on the subject can be very informative, assuming the speakers are as non party political as seen, been to two now and more coming up when spotted I hope.

British expats have lost their legal challenge for the right to vote in the European Union referendum.

The appeal had been brought by 94-year-old World War Two veteran Harry Shindler, who lives in Italy, and lawyer and resident of Belgium Jacquelyn MacLennan.

They were seeking to overturn a ruling by the High Court in London, which upheld the Government’s decision to bar British citizens from voting in the upcoming referendum when they have been resident overseas for more than 15 years.

Hundreds of celebrities have become the latest group to put their names to a letter urging voters to back remaining in the EU.

Film directors, actors, comedians and artists - and even the Poet Laureate - are named in a letter to The Guardian backing the Remain campaign.

The movie directors named include Danny Boyle, Mike Leigh and Richard Curtis, along with writers including spy author John le Carre.

Film actors include Benedict Cumberbatch, Bill Nighy, Dame Kristin Scott Thomas, Helena Bonham Carter, Jude Law, Juliet Stevenson and Keira Knightley.

Three knights of the screen - Sir Derek Jacobi, Sir John Hurt and Sir Patrick Stewart - are named, along with comedians Eddie Izzard, Jo Brand and Steve Coogan, and the Poet Laureate, Carol Ann Duffy.

Paying much attention to what "so called" celebs have to say is also not to be recommended on this subject IMHO.

Those actors wouldnt be connected in some way to the Brussels Broadcasting Corp, would they?

Knew it .

I think there is almost no chance of the vote being for OUT. Every economic think tank such as the IMF, governments, political commentators, celebrities are in favour of staying in.

The IN campaign is better organised, better funded and has more international support. The OUT campaign is a bit of a rag bag. It has no international support, no economic body support and is vague about the future. It is why the odds are 2/7 or IN and 7/2 for OUT.

People have no chance of anything in your world , you live by numbers , so we let ourselves be herded around unable to question anything . What a wimp you are .

A good many of those luvvies (post 2004) also responsible for trying to suppress Freedom Of Speech.

I will still vote OUT, but I am becoming resigned to saying in. I always thought the in vote would win and as the campaign continues it is looking even more likely. The turnout is what will decide it. The OUT campaign needs a low turnout.

Aren't most of these luvvies Labour supporters , I think they are .

I received my poll card today, together with a crib sheet telling me what the experts say. ha ha. You can guess the tone. Heard it all before.
Reading the small print it is promoted by Will Straw, one of another would be dynasty, like the Kinnock mob, intent on living and retiring very well off the public purse. (A little work lobbying mates in the commons would go down very nice as well, of course. Musn't look a gift horse in the mouth eh?).

You can just see the Leicester Manager saying to the team , well we've no chance of winning the league we may as well roll over lads . Yeh .
