Nothing to do with Boris then? Would it still have gone down if he had gone to the 'in' camp do you think? I'm not sure what difference that makes. Presumably people are taking us leaving more seriously now that he's 'on side', meaning that, as I originally started, there's uncertainty.

His very rich father was a huge campaigner for 'out' back in the 90's too so no massive surprise there. I could say exactly the same thing about his father then, in which case my point has even more merit.

Quite right. Most of the people posting on here (on BOTH sides) have already made up their minds and won't change them regardless of anything that might happen in the next few months, so will make no difference anyway. Its the uncertain, the waverers, and the uninformed (and a big chunk of the electorate fall into one category or another!) who will actually sway the issue come voting day. Expect the media to weigh in with scare stories both for and against (economy will collapse if we leave vs drowning in hordes of migrants if we stay) pretty much non stop from now until June.

Still projecting your own ills onto others, I see.
And to stop this becoming another tedious MATTHEW thread I will only debate about the EU and ignore your 'look at me look at me' childish and, frankly, boring vitriol from now. I know why you do it. Anger. Anger that I see you in a way that, deep down, you know to be true but, for some reason, you just can't actually admit it to yourself.
No. I think you are a hypocrite. Saying one thing (that we should all get along), yet doing another (moving as far away as possible from multiculturalism and calling us all racist if we question it and you).

No. I read it and thought about it. I didn't ignore it. Apologies. Do you think it was a fair comparison to the situation regarding changing the EU from within?

I trust someone like Nigel Lawson more than anyone on here , or Tony Blair or John Major. He is supporting the Out/Leave campaign. Good enough for me and Mrs Hoof to vote with him. If we leave, do you think Dave and George would carry on?

There wouldn't be any lucrative MEP jobs to fall back on because the big fat European Parliament cash cow will have moved on. I suppose they could create roles of Peace Envoys in Syria for them? More importantly though, if we leave the EU do we still have to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest? Edited by Percy of Peckham (23 Feb 2016 7.36am)

He's one of the Tories I quite liked. Good sense of pragmatism. Although ultimately some of his decisions regarding banking regulation and privitisation have created problems in the future, and he did essentially pioneer indirect taxation. Him, Heath and Hessletine I've always had a soft spot for.

Bojo would be in the ascendancy, but others would come forward... I still like Liam Fox, but he's had a few setbacks.

He's no more of a liar than most politicians - Cameron is very economic with the truth most of the time now and is backing a campaign he doesn't believe in. Anyway it was another bad day for your mate Jeremy yesterday in the Commons. He stood up to speak after Cameron finished a long speech and as usual met with jeers and started "This last few weeks I too have been to Brussels to meet with my socialist comrades, and do you know what they are saying?" Quick as a flash some wag shouted out "Who are you?" The house erupted with laughter from both sides of the house which went on for ages until the speaker restored order, and yet again Corbyn showed us his merits and aptitude to be PM.

I saw the quip aimed at Corbyn and I was 'Convulsed' with laughter. In actual fact I think Corbyn said that he had been to Brussels and someone had said to him.. at which point the wag shouted out "Who are you" ?

To me, whilst its funny, its actually the interrupter who comes off as the t***, wasting peoples time with quips and jokes, rather than doing his job and listening and letting people actually address the commons etc. I don't really see how it paints Corbyn's merits or aptitude at all, it just shows mentality of British Politics. Its like the kid who disrupts class, to make his mates laugh.
