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

It is CUK for a reason.

Can't they just f00k off?

It's last thing you need when citizens of the UK vote on their future, in it?

[darmstadt]

You are another brit hating pri*k who has left the country and spends half his sad sorry little life denigrating the UK. As if the Uk would ever have to rely on a Franco German bureaucracy for its well being is laughable.

It just relies on Franco/German/China/rest of the world to keep it going having sold it off to them...Whatver happened to:



Because I know I do my best to..do you?

This is the kind of anger level that we saw from the Scottish nationalists before they lost their vote - very interesting.

This proud British emigrant will be voting Remain, and will continue to do his best to help himself.

[Old Greg]

I meant hating the UK in just about every topic that is discussed whether it is the war in Iraq or the Scottish Nationalism debate (hating England).
Interestingly a great deal of this sort of sh*t comes from those who are no longer here

Absolutely agree with your post as a whole, but to a grammar pedant such as myself that sentence is interesting example of how missing commas can change and even reverse its intended sense.

Please learn how to use the English language properly.

Probably when Britain leaves there will be a bit of a political crisis triggering a recession and a general air of panic. In the end Britain will then sign up to a comprehensive deal with the EU and after that all the government has to do is to sit back and receive new EU regulations by fax every few months or so.

arguments don't stand up to any scrutiny

some Bremainers struggle with conditional logic, I've noticed. Indeed, pretty much anything they can't put in a gravity model with exponentiation to infinity and/or world war. Why argue when you can extrapolate doom?

Quite comical really. Thinking we're better off with others is "hating the UK". I guess you consider a man with friends "self-loathing" and that he should have the confidence to stand on his own two feet and have nobody to go to the pub with.

Nobody suggests the UK can't survive by itself; to think that suggests the EU has been supporting us all these years and only the Kippers think the EU has that degree of control of our lives. The UK can survive by itself; North Korea survives by itself but I wouldn't want to live there. It's only a question of whether there are benefits for everyone to have closer ties to the rest of the world and thousands of years of history tells you that there are.

Without any commas it means "those leftie liberals who (among possibly other leftie liberals who don't) hate the fact that the UK supports remain" :



With one comma is means "the leftie liberals who as it happens all hate the fact that the UK supports remain" :



But the adding a couple of commas changes its sense to what you presumably meant:

Please do keep correcting me!

also if we vote out now and it all goes to boobies up, I don't think we'd have much of an issue getting back in (if that was the fix)

if we vote in now, it'll be a few generations at least before a similar opportunity arises

That's weird logic. If it went tits up we'd be in a much weaker position and may have to go through the same long process as everyone else to get back in. We probably wouldn't get the rebate, and probably would have to join the Euro.

On the other hand voting in doesn't force us into anything. The UK government can trigger the exit procedure at any time; it doesn't need a referendum. The slightly flimsy promise that the politicians always made about having a referendum before they cede any further powers to Brussels could still apply; we just need to make sure we hold them to that. It's only unlikely we'll have another referendum for no reason.

I'm not. And I have one British friend who lives abroad in an EU country who is as big a Kipper as anyone on here. That's especially hard to understand. But like most of the rest of you his arguments don't stand up to any scrutiny either.

Who are the kippers? Are you all living in survivalist enclaves with 2 years of baked beans in your bomb proof basement (and 5 years of Daily Express back issues that you can use to tell you you were right when the inevitable zombie-immigrant catastrophe befalls us all)?

Only because Cameron and Osborne have given us the heads up on the impending Armageddon. Oh and the Express only has a readership of just over a million so a few of us must read something else, or perhaps not at all.

One thing is clear about CUK however: the most vocal supporters mainly seem to be living outside the UK.
