Well because 8000 people represents less than 0.001% of the population, so to claim it's representative of anything is just not true. It's only been going a few hours. Wait till the weekend.

The BBC has lost any credibility it had as a neutral broadcaster during this campaign. They slip in subtle Remain propaganda at every opportunity.

I always thought having a referendum was a mistake for it left us, and that of future generations, as hostages to fortune. It is just too important for such a decision to be left to the ignorant, the selfish and the prejudiced. It isn't the way we do things. We elect our representatives to consider all the facts, consult the experts and then come to those decisions for us. If we don't like the direction they take then every 5 years we can change them. The fact that there is a consensus among the politicians, and experts, to remain happens to co-incide with my person opinion is beside the point. This was the biggest political error of my lifetime and only done to neutralise UKIP and the right wing of the Conservative party. If we do vote to leave it will be a shameful day for the UK and one which marks the start of a terminal decline on the world stage. From superpower to no-one in 150 years. We are better than that. We have some great young people, most of whom see the benefits of the EU and are switched on to the modern world and it's global economy. I am hoping that we all come our senses in time and vote to remain. I fear we might not and the xerophobic demagogues of Gove, Johnson Farage et al might win out. Heaven helps us if that happens.
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

All I can say is that you and the new EUed version of Wisbech deserve each other.

This is a chance of a lifteime to prevent our great nation turning into a 'State' of the 'United States of Europe'. We are a great nation capable of making our own laws , governing ourselves, trading with the whole of the world and making decisions in the interests of the UK , NOT in the interests of the EU. At the end of the day I want my country back. Edited by Willo (21 Jun 2016 7.52pm)

You mean wanting to reduce immigration to a manageable level? Your glorious future will be water shortages,suppressed wages and trailer parks. Lovely.
