Lol..I had an endoscopy and colonoscooy last month both with biopsies...wouldn't wish that on you mate! Felt like I was in some gay robotic porno....
It's a (or was) good positivepositive on the Remain wider argument no doubt...except now the new incarnation seems to be over seeing the rise of the type of extreme right nationalism in all the supposed most pro EU countries...the type that rose before the war that a European agreement was supposed to prevent in the future... Do you think the EU leaders caused this or can stop it?
This just arrived in my inbox at work: Dear Colleagues, Ahead of the critical referendum vote tomorrow and after his roadshow in Manchester earlier this week, George Freeman, Minister for Life Sciences has asked that the following message be circulated to the sector. I hope this encourages you to vote Kind regards Geoff Afternoon, I wanted to thank you for joining me at our recent Cluster roundtable and my nationwide tour of Life Science clusters and Rallies4Remain. It was so valuable for me to hear your insights into the challenges and opportunities facing the Life Science sector in your cluster, and to hear the unanimous voice of the sector in urging voters to recognise that we need to remaIN inside the EU for continued scientific collaboration, investment, access to the single market, influence over regulation and long term prosperity. In less than 24 hours’ time, we will make the most important political decision for a generation. While, of course, the EU needs ongoing reform, the impact of the EU Referendum will affect this country for decades to come and the risks of leaving the EU for the UK’s Life Science sector could not be clearer. You can find more information on each rally and a short film we’ve created to capture the story and message of the Rally4Remain events here: http://westminster.georgefreeman.co.uk/content/rally4remain The only way to fully protect the UK’s ongoing strength in Life Sciences is by voting to REMAIN on June 23rd. So what can you do? Please take a minute to: - share the link to the film on social media, - forward this email to as many people in the sector you know and urge them to vote tomorrow. It’s crucial that the voice of this sector doesn’t go unheard! Yours, George Freeman MP Member of Parliament for Mid Norfolk Minister for Life Sciences
Interesting point. The right is rising in this country too - yet again. How far they go we'll have to see. It's just my general opinion that with all EU problems we have to be in it to help fix it. We're a stone's throw from Europe, whatever happens there is our problem whether we like it or not, whether we're in it or not. If it should turn into a right-wing monster we can't just pretend it's not there. If we turn away and bury our heads in the sand we'll just get a rocket up our arse.
I think know A) eu migration rules B) eu German bank protection causing austerity C) eu/German welcome to all but don't come to Germany Are the main reasons for rise of the right. In general if populations are fat and happy they go liberal, leftist, green etc. If there's want or fear they turn on anyone perceived to be taking from them. The German banks are hugely responsible for financial crisis due to their lending and Germany and eu central bank ensured they get every red cent out of states. There's rampant youth issue in Europe.
A lot or reports are saying the majority of over 55's will vote out, my father in law is 82 and he has voted Remain. He has always been a contrary bugger though. Reports also say the majority of under 25's will vote remain, I find it difficult to accept that a person under 25 seeing house prices in this country being beyond their reach and the high unemployment in the under 25's in the Euro area, ( 46% in Spain and Italy has been spouted), would want to vote remain. Basically it's a mess and I think the vote will be very close with Remain possible winning by 1 or 2%.
Brexit are crowing that they've hosed the postal vote, especially in Labour 'working class' areas. They're confident again that the bounce for Remain after Jo Cox is more than compensated by that. I'm still saying 55/45 Brexit.
However, if we were to leave, the fear of the unknown over what would be years of negotiating deals with the EU we would see the london stock exchange fall and the value of the pound plummet. Rates will rise and money won't go as far as before, it could easily put us into a recession until its all sorted.
I think the young are far less likely to A) vote B) of those that vote far more are idealist than cynics so I'd expect they would vote remain.
you missed out one important point which is the vote leave people are more passionate in the main so if its raining well half the remain youth vote will disappear
Well ... I dunno. I think there's a lot of people who discount young people and their attitudes. I mean they suck up bernie Saunders ****e like a sponge. They have high ideal... when they care. People firmly in leave which their brown shirts and funny moustaches will be out to vote for sure but that's not the whole leave. We will just have to see what happens.
I hope all us ****ers are not scared of the rain and go out and vote !! ---------------------- #EUref summary: Polls say REMAIN+2 Nowcast 52-48 Forecast 53-47 #Brexit % chance 26 (-11) http://www.ncpolitics.uk/euref/ please log in to view this image

Weather's beautiful up here - not a cloud in sight. They'll all be sunbathing instead. Can't tell people what to vote - but please, go for what you genuinely believe is best for the country, this is too serious to play games with.
