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....

BREXIT
uncontrolled immigration is most assuredly a problem, and even more more so in joe public's eyes
it is clearly this that is influencing the polls
however, even if we do vote "out", i think the reality of being able to control immigration will prove to be something of an illusion
that said, no one has yet managed to explain away satisfactorily the massive discrepancy between the number of reported immigrants and the far greater number of NIC numbers issued, which will then entitle the holder to claim benefits

The wealthy leaders of Remain will never know the devastating effect EU immigration has on ordinary people.

"no one has yet managed to explain away satisfactorily the massive discrepancy between the number of reported immigrants and the far greater number of NIC numbers issued, which will then entitle the holder to claim benefits"
No one wants to be the one doing the explanation. Particularly before the referendum. The immigration numbers are vastly under-disclosed. Every one knows that but the government is gutless. You have to add to those numbers the illegals and dependents under the age of 16.

quite right, at least for those of a certain age. However the variant dependent is now standard and as common as dependant in the Oxford English Corpus. In US English, dependent is the standard form of the noun. :)
Since I have been focused on North and South America for years now, I must admit that my language is US biased. It has taken me a while to refer to my phone as a mobile and not a cellphone, particularly as the latin languages also use the term celular.

If you ever watched Morse, he was always correcting Lewis for using an s instead of a z. Realize is phonetically more correct than realise. But these days, many words are inter-changeable. One word I always find odd in the US is buoy. We pronounce boy while in the US it is booey. We have the u silent while they have the o silent.

eraser instead of rubber :-)

William Hill bookmakers this morning indicated that +85% of referendum bets over the long weekend was for ‘leave’ and this has required them to shorten their ‘leave’ odds.

'Dave's' going into the oil business after he gets kick out...He's planning
to start selling some of the snake oil that he's become famous for.
It'll be of benefit for the general population in the event that the referendum
result is to remain..As a lubricant to ease the pain from having our pants pulled down and given a good rogering.

I don't give a sh** about bookies odds..
The odds could be being manipulated by the moneymen to give the
impression of remaining inevitable.
