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.

jimmy - probably not far off the mark

YouGov poll, out today, is still finding a very close EU referendum race –

41% would vote to stay, 42% would vote to leave. With the margins of error, that is pretty even.

It looks like the 17% undecided will make the difference. I think we will end up staying in due to fear.

also probably correct, even if hardly a ringing endorsement

I am not certain which way I will vote but am leaning towards the out camp. DC was 'armed' with pathetic requests, he should have demanded much more. The depth of resentment of EU policies is being under-estimated imv.

I'm sure the thousands of people who have suffered terrible flooding of their homes will not have to think twice which way to vote, (2000 Law making it illegal to dredge).

H is your wish to remain in the EU?

eu vote all my family and hundreds of close friends will vote out nothing will change our views it rotten and corrupt

get us out now

At the moment, I would vote to leave. However, I can't see that happening.

george - in fact there are many good reasons NOT to dredge, and that is just a minor cause of the flooding

MrT - so if eu is totally corrupt as you also insist is the uk, where are you going to live? ..... saudi perhaps?

I agree cynic but the interests of householders should be of paramount importance, or do you think otherwise? As for dredging being a minor cause of flooding, who knows to what depth silt and the like has been allowed to build up over the last 15 years?

no more green belt building, no more building on flood plains, no more housing the rest of the world, currant policy. when the people of england start to go hungry building on fertile ground to then stop. so ask yourself who or what can you vote for, to stop the above, try & keep your thinking simple to arrive at this decision. BB

i can only tell you from the thames near henley and at marlow
in neither place has there been an appreciably or at least noticeable build-up of silt

does "currant policy" have racial undertones? ..... i can't quite work it out :-)

Haze,

What is the betting on Cameron leading the stay in the EU and the rest of the unitedly split cabinet voting out.

The tories are at one another's throats.


Hear the razors being sharpened.

To have a split cabinet (or gang of thieves) is one of the reasons for some of the mess in the UK since 2010.

A leader wanting to make a mark in history.

Quick down to PHQ for Sir Lynton's next mantra.

There are several other polls showing the 'stay in' figures about 10% ahead.

I'm sure Haystack ,most of the polls won't be accurate .

That is the problem. They all have some bias, which is inevitable. The average of the bunch is that the mood is pretty even. I am watching daily Politics and one of the MPs being spoken to (an SNP), wasquotin a poll that showed 70% in favour of staying in the EU.

Fred for an unbiased view. ''The tories are at one another's throats''. Could equally be true of Labour.
2517

fred will merely write whatever tripe he likes to dream up, always provided it's a swipe at the tories

2517

Seems to be.

But largely down to disappointed MPs who didn't have the expectancies or hopes of their futures "careers" fulfilled.

Arguing for policies or policy changes are acceptable, but not personal baseless personal attacks.


But the Neo-cons disharmony doesn't get paraded in the media to the same extent.

Of course, there are also party apparatchiks like Haze and ilk.

But, perhaps, it is due to Cameron cosying up to Murdock and the right winged press again.

I wonder what the price of the deal will turn out to be.

Reminds me of a Stalinist or Fascist state and suppression of information.
