It might surprise you to learn that I agree with a fair bit of what you have written. I am 54, so fall into the category of never having had a job and worked under a Labour government. I work for a wage, so I view myself as "working class." I know we all like to think of ourselves as middle...

it will comply and trade will be agreed. The consequences of not trading will ensure that it happens.

If Lufthansa, KLM, Air Italia, Iberia etc want RR engines on the wing, they will have them. BREXIT or no BREXIT. JCB is anther company which believes in itself. A highly skilled workforce making a product which is in demand. If a German wants to dig a trench and wants JCB plant to do it, he /...

When it's hard cash and the company's health is at stake, a way will always be found. That's why we will still trade if BREXIT happens.

Are you actually trying to suggest that Lufthansa or other European airline would purchase a less fuel efficient and less reliable engine from non EU member the USA, because the UK was no longer a member of the EU? That makes no sense trex, no sense at all. Much like the rest of the economic...

But they can't purchase title can they? From my dim and distant past at uni, I seem to remember trying to stay awake during the compulsory, General Studies element of the course when we discussed Maslow's hierarchy of needs. It begins with being able to put food on the table and ends with...

Warren East, the Chief Executive of Rolls Royce PLC (aero engine maker) has written to all of his staff warning against BREXIT. The Guardian has reported on this saying that Rolls Royce may locate a new £65 million pound engine testing facility elsewhere if BREXIT goes ahead. It also goes on...

Put whether immigration is a good or bad thing to one side for a moment. David Cameron knew at least 12 months prior to the last general election that he had absolutely no chance of controlling it whilst a member of the EU. Yet, a key manifesto pledge was to bring net migration to the UK down to...

So, is the ecconomic case for remaining a diplomatic necessity, not a true and fact based argument? A case constructed, bought and paid for in part with titles and honours. It's very difficult to place a value on what is said. Trust in politics has been squandered in recent years.

Quite possibly. I suspect that UKIP will want to retain MEPs whilst the exit is negotiated though. Strange isn't it that Farage is actually campaigning to end his own job. How many Westminster MPs would put cause before their own career?

I think an IN vote will strengthen UKIP because it will be a close vote, meaning a near 50% rate of dissatisfaction. Those people will need to turn somewhere and the other two larger parties (Lab & Con) offer no hope, since they support IN. So UKIP will benefit. The whole public opinion thing...

No, definitely no permanent hard feelings from me.

Tom, Many people who support leaving the EU are ordinary men and women who want to go to work, earn enough money to live a modest life, and feel a sense of security against something disrupt that. Many of these people work alongside immigrants and they all get along quite nicely. However, they...

Then we share things in common. It is a shame that this EU referendum is so deviceive. I hope that we can draw a line under it on Friday, regardless of which way the vote goes, and return to a normal exchange of views on other less emotive subjects and put what has been said to each other...

Focusing on immigration may or may not have been the correct strategy. There is no denying that it is a concern for a lot of people, but we will have to wait until Friday to find out for sure.

Have you lost your mind Tom? Populated mostly by fascists? Come on, you don't really think that do you?

What has any of this got to do with Brexit, where the accusation of Fascism has been levelled? I thing you have been snorting the the same hallucinating dugs as derf. I think I'll refer to you as Old Stoner instead of oldgroaner from now on.

Mary had a little lamb It’s fleece as white as snow And everywhere that Mary went The lamb was sure to go Mrs Merkel had a little lamb It’s fleece was made of gold On all demands that Merkel made It did as it was told Come come little lamb I will feed you bread and water Then gently take you...

I expect a big push from remain to implant the notion into people's minds that a vote to leave is somehow a vote in support of Jo Cox's killer. It is almost inevitable that in the coming days it will be "uncovered" that as a 6 year old, the killer walked to and from infant school with another...
