You're lucky, as it'll all be over by the end of next week.

But all the tedious football threads will keep popping up here until the last star falls from the heavens

End of next week is when the fun starts.

Are you mad? This is more entertaining than the Scottish referendum?

I'm not mad, I don't give a tulip.

I've run out of things to say.....are you all sad now?

I still have no idea how Brexit will affect your gold mountain. Have to asked Nige?

Of course it is obvious. And even if there were a legal provision to enforce exit, Parliament could subsequently legislate to ignore the referendum result.

and then next election UKIP would be in power.

Britain's coming Independence Day

From the New York Times:


2016-06-14 Britain’s Coming Independence Day

Throughout the campaign, the Remainers have highlighted “experts” from bodies like the International Monetary Fund, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and the Bank of England, which all think that Britain should stay. They talk of being “shut out” of the room where decisions are made in Brussels.

These warnings sound like the neuroses of career politicians, not the concerns of the public, who see things very differently. Ordinary voters are weighing what is best for National Health Service hospitals and public services. By making the case from a political elite’s perspective, the Remain campaign has alienated, even antagonized, voters.

:::

It is the Remain team that has ended up looking reactionary. The European Commission, which the Remainers defend, is the only European Union body that can propose laws, and it is unelected — an arrangement George III might have admired.

The Remain campaign promotes an obsolete European project, a throwback to the 1950s when big regional trade blocs looked like the future, and size and scale seemed paramount in economics. In a world of globalized trade and localized power, the European Union — the world’s only declining trading group — is being left behind. All its supporters can muster in its defense is the fear of change.

Sir Bob, another chunt I can't stand.

I'd have thought Bob Geldof, of all people, would be mad keen on Brexit when he read an article like this:
