I was completely stunned to find out that the EU Parliament (which contains MEP's which I voted for) has no legislative powers at ALL!! Apparently all EU laws can only be passed with the consent of the EU Commission who has the final say. This means that there is no accountability and no matter how badly the EU Commission performs us as EU citizens cannot vote out any of the 28 members!
This is a situation not seen since the Magna Carter. Therefore I cannot bring myself to vote for such an undemocratic institution. I strongly believe the EU has too much self interest to ever change and it will take a massive event such as our leaving to bring the EU to its senses as other countries will follow our lead in a domino effect.
I have also been really unimpressed by Dodgy Dave and his project fear. It is something which has severed him well before in the Scottish referendum and the 2015 General Election so naturally he has used the same tactics again. But like Russell Slade found out people finally work you out and his fear project is falling more and more on deaf ears.
As someone on this forum pointed out trade with the EU is not ‘free’ due to our membership as we pay a net £9billion in fees for the privilege to do so! Trade will not end with Europe on our exit nor will Trade with the rest of Europe.
Even if there is a short term hit to our economy (which is far from certain) it will be worth it in order to draw a line in the sand with the EU and hopefully it can begin its well overdue road to reform.

I have nothing but respect for Tony Blue Williams and his posts, fella. That he has decided to vote BREXIT is a decision I know he will have thought long and hard about and, as he said, investigated thoroughly. Having said all that, I would respect his decision even if he had decided he wanted to REMAIN
In you poor attempt to 'balance the books', I think you miss the whole point of our exchanges today. You have made several statements which are clearly showing you to be playing Devil's Advocate and in some of which you have made claims that are clearly (polite word) untrue!
You also refer to people not 'jumping on' the fact that you stated we would become a Nazi nation (and I'm not doubting it may have been said by the other side too) but the simple fact is most people know that isn't about to happen regardless of which side wins the day. You see, despite what you said about them, they aren't "stupid"!
You can bounce things back and forth all evening, fella, but you have today been found out to be a hypocrite, a liar and a non-voter and of the three, I think the 'non-voter' (if you are actually telling the truth on that one ) is by far the one that sets you out the most because you are revelling in something you have no real intention of truly participating; so that adds the word 'fraud' to the list so far!
I'll let you have the last word, as that seems important to you, but you can rest assured that most people know what you are about by now and come Friday (I happen to think the vote will be to REMAIN because the 'floaters will err on the side of caution) you can sit back and be a 'smug' as you like safe in the knowledge that you allowed others to make the decision for you!
Meanwhile, back in football world....

Haha you saying I missed the point. I copied that thread because tony blue states about a leave supporter comparing the eu to nazi germany. But not you agenda so blindly ignore it. Blindly also ignoring the poster by wez saying eu were invading like nazi germany.
My point being is why haven't you jumped up and down like a child on the nazi front there. I'll answer because it's on side with your agenda. So the hypocrite here my find fella is you. You don't like the nazi comparison against you but no comment on it when it's in you favour. Nothing to do with last word, as I like to hear you justify this. Or will you silence be confirmation of your defeat.

I can't respect a politician who is planning to vote leave one day, but remain the next day. This should be nothing to do with personalities, it is the future of this country. If we vote to leave, the end result will be the same as it was yesterday. I can't respect someone who throws their toys out of the pram because of what certain people have said. Whatever they have said, the migration issue is still exactly the same, and the economic forecast has not changed. Someone who changes their mind a few days before the vote obviously did not look into things in any great detail, and you have to wonder whether that sort of person should be a politician.

Hope your prediction is right 1948, but I'm pessimistic. I think Leave have got the emotional momentum and I see it 52-48 Leave.

The Yes to independence in Scotland had the emotional momentum and ended up losing. People shout the loudest in the ballot box, always been the way. If you want a remain vote then I think you will be pleased come Friday morning.

There was a very interesting debate at Wembley tonight and I think Boris got the loudest cheer at the end. I have to say I thought he conjured up a very clever quote "Vote for Britain's own Independence Day on Thursday" He obviously has good speech writers. Either way, I think it's going to be very close and the country is riven in two. The political fallout could be intriguing.

I will be voting to remain, however,I am very impressed with the way this man has managed to hoodwink the type of person that he least represents.He made a political choice and not one of his own convictions(thats why he didn't come out straight away)and I would be first to admit that if he had decided to throw his lot in with the remain campaign they would be pissing it now.A modern day Pied Piper if ever there was one.

I totally agree. I imagine, whatever their persuasion, there are few people who believe Boris is a conviction politician rather than a self_serving opportunist. The fascinating denouement will be how the Tory pigswill sort themselves out after the vote, whatever the result might be. How the likes of Amber Rudd, Ruth Davidson and George Osborne get back to a state of bonhomie with the scary Gove, Duncan-Smith and Leascom is one hell of a challenge. Cameron has quite a mountain of work on his hands.

Tony, the guy has fast become a Troll and is now on almost every thread on which I post with with his continually inane and immature attempts at 'baiting'
As you know, I'm all for reasoned debate and enjoy the fact that anyone can have an opinion even if it differs to my own; even to the point that I will hold my hands up and admit it if it is occasionally proven (it happens even to the best of us ) that I got it wrong
As I read his deliberately provocative posts (now over several threads) the more I began to recognise a pattern that we have seen on this Forum before
As he suggested, I looked back at his posts on this thread. Then I looked back at his history since he mysteriously 'arrived' with a name fully intended to 'wind up' our senior citizen 'Bluebird1977' who had got the better of him previously
That is both childish and conceited beyond and it beggars the question WTF?
All very interesting reading indeed and (partly thanks to a few decent members who messaged me) I am now content with who I am dealing
Far too many threads/posts have quickly turned negative as he berates anyone (not just me) who disagrees or corrects him and the tone he uses is also reminiscent of one person, too!
Despite his exceptionally poor standard of grammar, he genuinely believes that brow-beating others is the same as winning an argument! But, as someone on here says (he has it as his slogan) "There's no point in arguing with an idiot, as they will drag you down and beat you with experience" and that's his precise methodology
I'll let him have his moment in the sun and (likely) his 'smug' moment come Friday if the REMAIN vote wins, but seeing as he has stated (on here) that he will not be voting, then I fail to see how he can claim any right to celebrate??
I dare say he won't be able to resist the temptation the respond to this post. That is his prerogative, as it is mine to ignore the fraud and debate with reasonable people rather than a 'Devil's Avocate'
