We are being told (mainly by the BBC so we have to assume the message is already biased) that the various OUT groups are involved in vicious infighting with each other.
Since at the end of the day each person will go into a voting booth on their own and mark their X where they want to, does this alleged infighting really matter?
As long as people exercise their vote (hopefully for OUT) does it matter which out group they support?
Could just be rumour but I have heard that the vote papers are to be marked in pencil rather than the usual wax pencil?
If this might be the case, I am taking an indelible pencil in with me to mark my vote with that. The problem with that, is that it could be dismissed by the powers that be, as a spoiled ballot paper and discarded.
Absolutely all my friends and acquaintances, every one I know personally, have stated that they are voting OUT, I literally do not know anyone who will be voting for IN. the result of the referendum will one of the most interesting demonstrations of whether or not we really are a free people in our lifetimes.

From discussion, I am convinced the press are being encouraged to muddy the OUT groups and will stop at nothing to claim so-called infighting. So, let us all get real for a moment. There are only three Brexit campaign groups, each representing different interest areas. The important point is that it does not matter about the campaign groups. What does matter is the country's electorate having the intelligent balls to collectively vote OUT.

Re the pencil rumour...it's probably just that, a rumour, and I wouldn't be concerned about it. Where we should be concerned is to ensure the Brexit voters secure such a large majority, irrespective of any potential messing with votes, that the result is unequivocally OUT. No ifs, no buts...an absolute OUT.

I have seen some polls over the past weeks confirming 68% are voting OUT. If this level is secured it will be the end of CMD and the arrival of a very exiting future for the UK. 68% is an even greater result than general elections and could well be the urgently needed nail in the EU coffin and would encourage other countries to follow suit.

Most of the Poles in my workplace want the UK to Leave, too.
"fking Bulgarians", they mutter...

Thank you, handpaper. I'm feeling most embarrassed at such a typo'. Will edit accordingly and my best wishes to all Poles who want out of the EU.

At the risk of sounding like a stick in the mud, this thread is suspiciously close to campaigning and electioneering, there's lot's of threads discussing the issues around the referendum, do we need this one too?

No, you're not being a stick in the mud. Posted as the dates should be shared and as yet they're not on the GO website. No campaigning, no electioneering, just sharing of news to one and all.

This conversation ideally demonstrates the problem with the out campaigned and a lot of recent support that UKIP have picked up, there is no common base political or economic ideology behind the "grass roots" out campaign. On one hand you've got right leaning economic liberals who believe that the EU is stifling and controlling market forces and on the other hand you've got traditional labour leftist people who believe that the UK should throw up protective sanctions on trade and imports and create some kind of self sustaining walled city (which the whole world will banging on the door of to by our - I don't know what). Both side displaying a suitable level of flag waving and general jingoism to appeal to those unclear enough to have a good think.

I shudder to think what would happen to domestic UK politics were we ever to go for an OUT vote.

Yes but it is the fact that it is the EU doing the stifling and controlling that is the problem...the UK is more than capable of doing this itself should it wish to do so...can you not see that?

It may help if you had a look at this for a few hours.

Thank you, Alfie, for high lighting this. It's about time some people properly educate themselves and really understand the st we're in thanks to the EU.

All, there is no real answer as to what a post Brexit UK will look like, but we are not a third rate back street nation. Our industry leaders will not allow their sectors to be simply pissed away because we're no longer a suckling pig to Brussels. And, our complaining doubt mongering politicians can openly hang themselves if they resist. In fact, I see a new wave of bright highly focused politicians on the horizon post Brexit...those of the type who understand the economics of industry and who are not within the political clique to exclusively line their own pockets. Five to ten years post Brexit and all the doubters will be wondering what the risk was in the first place, much like the Millennium Bug...a much ado about nothing. Not only will we economically survive, many see a proper resurgence in UK growth once the dust has settled. The only financial limitation we'll struggle with is UK debt, an unacceptable debt that has been exasperated due to crippling EU fiscal policy and piss poor UK Govt.

Looks like a perfectly edible banana, to me.

"Now stop right there. No eating of curved bananas. The EU-overlords dictate curvature of less than 10degs"

On a serious note, bananas are a highly nutritious food source...I wonder what is the annual tonnage of banana food waste as a direct result of EU intervention? Food for thought or starving millions...?

I've always like Galloway, some negativity on Twitter right now but it's all hot air (as is usually directed at Farage). Great speech by GG too as you would expect.

+1

I watched the complete livestream and was very surprised to see Galloway be presented. He's a real Marmite character who at times has not done himself too many favours...whether folk like him or not, he is very well read and has a far greater ability in understanding the crucial importance of why we must leave the near despot clutches of the EU than the majority of folk and certainly the majority of our politicians. I did not notice those who left as he made his speech...but of far more importance was what he said and, above all, how he said...from the heart and with absolute conviction; the same as Cash, Davis, Hoey and Farage.

Also, hats off to some of the humour shared with the audience, Davis's quip quoting Napoleon, "Belgium, a country invented by the English to embarrass the French!" Though I always thought this was a quote from de Gaulle.
