So I was speaking to an Italian recruitment agent yesterday.

...Do you want to be part of a communist European superstate ...

I'm confused. I thought it was fascist.

...And less we forget this referendum was a party policy created to ensure they got into government,..

This is correct.

You mean a lot of people have already voted for a referendum and now a lot of people will vote for exit. But these people (40-50%) of voters are all racists, and idiots. The smart people don't live in the UK or pay UK taxes, just sit on the sidelines telling UK residents they are idiots.

No. This referendum was agreed to during the General Election because Cameron wanted to ensure a majority (or at least be able to form a government), by swinging potential UKIPpers back to the Tories. The swing was not in any way more than a small minority. But it was enough.

The referendum was not granted by the Tories because it is important to decide for the good of the country; it was granted for party political reasons - so that DC could remain in power. It's recent history - you can't have forgotten it already?

Ever closer union

Resistance is futile

oh dear.

If our economy was as strong as Germany, the manufacturing base we once used to own, small businesses allowed to operate without so much red-tape / IR35 etc they'd be an upswell of creativity. Instead our government, not the EU, punishes into oblivion because they are easy targets. We're the most tax country in the whole of the EU. That is not an EU directive, but instead a hindrance to the economy.

I'm sick of it. And I really would rather you get on supporting small independents, they have the most to gain from being instead the union.

Ironically if we vote to remain the chances we'll join the euro grow! Cosy.

Furthermore if a vote to exit goes through historians will record the Tories choose to allow a referendum to win power. i.e. they sold a country out to gain power.

If that's not recklessness I don't know what is.

Don't we have to pass the economic tests? Though Brown never told us what they were. 😂

[DodgyAgent]

Yes, Graduate. Over for someone language experience. Like so many people that work in such places they're not in it for the long haul.

I din't take a head count.

So that is one then

Did any country pass the tests?

[The_Equalizer]

Did any country pass the tests?

Greece. Oh, hang on, that was just Goldman Sachs fiddling with the figures.

[PurpleGorilla]

Let's see how Germany gets on after sorting that out...
