Remain vs Brexit

[DodgyAgent]

What is interesting is that this debate is polarised between two types of people (and it is the same two groups who constantly argue over many of the topics on CUK). On the one side there are the predictable self loathing leftie liberals who hate the Uk supporting "remain". This is to the point of an obsessive desire not to give way on any point whatsoever. On the other side are those of us who are comfortable with being British and have confidence in our fellow countrymen such that we believe the UK can stand on its own two feet. This is driven as much by the fact that we are behind the UK just as the remainers are driven by the fact that they hate the UK.

Then there is Atw who simply agrees with his friend and mentor George Osborne

One minute the remainers are saying the UK is so pathetic and tiny it cannot exist on it's own, the next they are saying a Brexit could topple the rest of the World's economies.

Which is it? We are too small and insignificant to thrive, or we are so important we would bring down the EU...

Great. I was hoping another EU stay/leave thread might pop up. There's nowhere near enough of them

Amazing. Supporters of the status quo spouting utter tulipe in the run up to a referendum. Surely this has never happened before

[Willapp]

I've said it before but I'm voting leave purely because I don't feel - personally - that being part of the EU does anything for me as an individual, and I can't see how abstracting power further away from where I live and work is good for me.

All the arguments, whether for or against, are based purely on speculation since this situation is without precedent so it angers me that both sides claim with absolute conviction that all these terrible or great things will happen if we stay or leave. The reality I'm sure is that some things will get better and some will get worse - it's hardly likely that one decision can be purely beneficial and the other entirely detrimental, logic suggests otherwise.

I do hate those who have left the UK getting stuck in.

It is CUK for a reason.

Can't they just f00k off?

No not tiny, just heavily indebted.

And have you noticed that the majority of them are started by Leave (and AtW)

On the other side are those of us who want to return to Victorian values where women are women and know their place, where Johnny Foreigner knew his place, where the pound was still printed on paper, the countries in an atlas were primarily coloured red, food kitchens were a fact of life, chimney sweeps were little boys, Nigel Farage had just started to wear a Camel hair coat and the trains still went 'choo choo'

FTFY

Totally agree, although I thought Atw hated Osborne for fekking over his entitlement to a BTL empire (sounded more like a Bliarite).
