Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

A majority of Britons now favour leaving the European Union amid concerns over immigration, according to an opinion poll.

The survey, by polling firm Survation for the Mail on Sunday, found that if a referendum was held tomorrow 51% would vote to quit the EU against 49% who would vote to remain.

The findings contrast with a previous comparable poll carried out in July which gave the "in" camp a 54% to 46% advantage.

The survey is likely to set alarm bells ringing in Downing Street ahead of David Cameron's promised referendum, which is due to take place by the end of 2017.

Britain is edging towards the EU exit door, according to the latest poll that shows the UK's future membership of the 28-state bloc is too close to call.

The ICM poll - the first since the referendum question was changed two weeks ago to make it less biased - gives the 'In' campaign just a 3-per-cent lead over those who want to leave, down from a much larger margin of 11 per cent before the change.

It comes after a poll earlier this week showed the 'Out' camp in the lead by 51 per cent to 49 per cent - the first time a majority of British voters have backed leaving the EU.

It shows 17 per cent of people are undecided and with a number of influential public figures yet to say which side they would be campaigning on - including the new Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and London Mayor Boris Johnson, the referendum could easily swing either way.

Don't know where you get your figures from Haystack but everywhere i look it's pointing to an out vote .....

my gut feeling is that you're right jimmy, though i wouldn't be surprised if that changes on the day

It's a long way away so it will depend on what the mood is at the time i guess .
If we are still being flooded with immigrants then i think folk will vote out .

it's the wrong reason for voting out, but that as may be

I got fed up with all the laws being made by the EU , and yes i don't want an open door to the rest of Europe ,we had a controlled immigration before 1993 and it worked just fine .

I am looking forward to being out of the EU and a colony of the Chinese.

This is one source of the figures.

Look down the page and you will find the ICM polls. You can find various others on the interweb, such as MORI etc.

Cheers Hays , they are all very different .Who knows what will happen nearer the time .
I still think we may vote out .

On balance I would like to leave, but I think we will stay due to fear. I am happy with the Common Market aspect but I don't want ever closer political union leading inevitably to federalism.

germany - economic asylum seekers
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/germany/11945890/Germany-to-deport-economic-migrants-in-military-transport-planes.html?ref=yfp

sorry but i don't know how to set that as a proper link
anyway, the article is well worth reading, with a slight caveat that it comes via the telegraph, and of course its political stance is very well known

in a nutshell, germany's great philanthropic open-door policy for all refugees whether political or economic is suddenly in reverse ...... economic and asylum-refusals are no longer welcome and will apparently be deported in droves

we in uk always grizzle at the lack of action against asylum-refusals, but germany has exactly the same problem, but on a larger scale

Stop winding Jimmy no jumper up Alf.

Re-lighting of Germany to their 1933 period of enlightenment!

Reminds me of Oswald Mosleys early days.

ps Fred and Stan would make two good whores

This is worth a read. It highlights very well the mistaken dogma of the blind hard left.
