      I see that David Icke confirms he wants out of the EU. Finally the out campaign has someone sane and rational to speak for them
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          Why would he buy these at the airport when they are so much cheaper in Spain?

          I'm old enough to recall travel to Spain pre EU and this doesn't match reality (anyone recall those temp passports you could get?)- How likely is Spain to deny easy access to one of it's biggest tourism customers? Turkey only introduced a visa requirement after we did the same to their nationals - on a recent visit to Istanbul a visa was easily bought for a nominal sum before clearance
          How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

            I expect the percentage of UK passport holders will begin to resemble that of citizens of the USA. Who needs Spain when you have Blackpool anyway?

              Official EU referendum thread. Thursday June 23rd,

              There was a well spoken chap in the BREXIT side on the radio today program just before 9am.

              He was saying that Italy and another Eurozone member are bust and the whole Eurozone is going down the pan. And that staying in carries risk.

              It was well said. I need to find out who it was because they were very well spoken on the BREXIT side.

              Then at 9am the news catchup had a sound bite from the pro EU lady who spoke, and nothing from the well spoken BREXIT man.

              The BBC Are scum. The last thing they are is impartial.

                It becomes more apparent as you get older

                  The non EU line in UK customs is shorter than the EU one in my experience.

                  Visa Waivers like the US will probably become the norm.

                  Duty free isn't that exciting.

                  Spain needs tourists especially if we stop them fishing our waters.

                  You know Britain gets tourists right?

                    Yeah, people of Scotland tried to say that during the Scottish referendum. Fell on deaf ears. The editing of Salmond speeches was horrendous. People were livid. It was like watching two different individuals when you saw the non-beeb version.

                    But that's how democracy works these days. And the same will happen for the EU referendum. People of Scotland have seen it before and see it happening again. Nothing to see here. Move on.

                    Alex Salmond: Nick Robinson referendum coverage was a 'disgrace'

                    Alex Salmond has said Nick Robinson should be “embarrassed and ashamed” of his coverage of the Scottish independence referendum as he hit back at the outgoing BBC political editor’s attack on the “Putin”-like treatment journalists received at the hands of nationalists.
                    The former First Minister described as “ludicrous” the outgoing BBC political editor’s comparison between the separatists’ mass protests against his reporting of the campaign last year and Vladimir Putin’s Russia.
                    He said this was “ironic” as the BBC coverage, which he described as a “disgrace”, resembled propaganda produced by Pravda, the Soviet Union’s notorious press agency.
                    Mr Salmond said he did not voice his criticism while Mr Robinson fought cancer but he decided to break his silence after the BBC political editor hit out at the nationalists’ “intimidation and bullying” at an appearance at the Edinburgh International Book Festival last week.

                      I was 100% for Scottish independence, and I still am.
