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.

What do you expect from what many think is the most corrupt period of a conservatism in the last 50years?

Farage is a rabble rouser. He will put plenty of people off. I am tempted to vote out, but Farage could make me vote in. I would hate to think I agreed with him about anything. He is one of the dregs of politics.

You could always vote with your friend Corbyn Hays. He wants in with an even more socialist EU.

That is part of the problem. There are loons in all directions. I do think that the EU is destined to get worse and more unstable.

Yet your best mate, Haystack, wants in even more.
How do you square the bollox and Cameroon?

There are plenty of sensible people on both sides of the argument. There is no obvious answer of whether to leave or not.

farage is in the lucky(?) position of being neither an mp himself nor having even a handful of followers in westminster
thus, he can stand on his soapbox and spout whatever he fancies - some of it not entirely loony - without fear of repercussion

The intention is to make Turkey more European by joining the EU, although I think it is misguided.

Farage is an MEP so he has seen the asylum from the inside. Refreshingly, he is not swayed by the gravy train boarded by the likes of the Kinnocks and as for Westminster that is hardly representative of the nation. As I remember, Ukip with one MP had almost 3 times the vote of the SNP with 56.
Fortunately MPs will only have one vote in the referendum, like the rest of us.

i fully concur that there is much rotten within the whole eu system, starting with a parliament that pays itself whatever it likes, spends money as if it were bolivars and does nothing (as far as i can see) to stem the huge areas of corruption and profligacy within the system
however, is that in itself sufficient reason to walk out?
i don't know and waver like a flag in a light summer breeze

I was astonished to hear Cameron saying that without the French all the migrants will be in southern England. Whatever happened to the Churchillian spirit? Are we afraid or too weak to protect our borders?
As Eric Hoffer said "you can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you". Cameron has started the propaganda war while his cabinet is gagged. But by saying he can't protect our borders he is showing that he is not fit to be PM.

I think the Spectator article just about sums it up.
