I heard they will be free if we stay in. And they will make a cuppa just like at home, and the chips will taste better on the costa del sunburn.

I read that as...

If we leave the EU, the EU will penalise the UK holiday makers by £230 each.

Another EU fine that will just ps off the UK citizens, so therefore the UK can charge EU citizens £230 each to come here into the UK, then use that to subsidise the UK population so the £230 will not hit the UK citizens?

Typically £13-20 for a pizza. 1/2 litre of normal beer £4-7. Wine is where it really hurts - generally starting at £30 a bottle for something unremarkable.

Anyone who's vote is swayed by the chance a week away in the sun MIGHT be £230 more , doesn't deserve to vote.

That's not a good way to save money, if that's the aim!

If the UK leaves the EU, the chances are that the floodgates will open and the Netherlands and Denmark will follow, leading to the collapse of the Eurozone and reverting the EU back to a free trade area.

As a result, it is possible, even probable, that Brexit would lead to a stronger pound and weaker Euro.

Whilst this isn't necessarily a good thing, as it harms exports, it is worth noting that it is the opposite of the assumptions used by mutilple vote Remain supporting arguments.

For the avoidance of doubt, this isn't just me saying this, I discussed this as a core scenario with an investment manager with tens of billions under management when I met them yesterday.

So not £220 or £240 more but £230? Where is Dave pulling these figures from, his arse?

The government cannot even predict what the deficit and public borrowing is going to be from one month to the other (Gideon made a prediction in the March budget and come April this figure was £3.8 billion more than he predicted) yet we are expected to take their post Brexit financial figures seriously?
