    Our course our crippling debt, consumer driven economy, inflated asset prices are nothing to do with us. It's all the EU's fault.
    That's not what I said at all. Don't assume all people who want to leave are thick.

    And before all you outtie's get hufty when the in vote comes home you best prepare yourself for the upswell of disappointment. Nothing will console you for weeks.(speaking from experience here) - you'll feel like topping yourself.

    If close to 50% vote out but don't get it the country (well England) will be broken and ripe for takeover.
