EU referendum for dummies?

[SaskiaJayne]

The more I hear Cameron telling me why we should stay, the more I think why the fuck did you call this referendum.

Before last general election he offered tory voters a referendum to stop them defecting to ukip. It worked so well that he ended up in government with an overall majority he never expected to get so he was forced to call the referendum that he probably never wanted.

Crap liberal read that doesn't do any criticism of neoliberalism, doesn't place any importance on workers (especially post-Greece, etc.) or any left reasons to leave, and just centres it around the right-wing leave.

That's more your failing than mine

Thora, did you have any instinctive feelings on the issue when you first started thinking about it?

If you did, you can start from there and begin to look at the arguments as presented by both sides and see if your initial feelings are supported or not. Some people have changed their minds while others have found support for their initial feelings. That is how I approached it, if it helps.

You have a plan B, don't you? Shed on the Isle of Man? Static caravan on the Isle of Sheppey? That sort of thing.

Would have thought this sort of thing more up your street:

Four Roads 3 bed property with land for sale - £100,000

 

[gentlegreen]

Apparently not.
Not sure how I would fit in culturally though ...

Er, no thanks ...

You should see the sorts of properties I'm looking at in Brittany - and in walking distance of LIDL ...

Amazing that you can buy a place like that in the UK though - but I get the shivers thinking about isolating myself like that for the convenience of being able to hold free parties once in a while ...

I may get around to listening to this later :-



Not that I need convincing ...
