    I'm not in the least bit offended. Using being a 'half darkie' to justify a racist mind set when accusing others is no justification.

    Voting in means I think we're better off in the EU for the moment than out of it. It's not as black and white as saying I'm happy with the status quo (I hope I haven't offended anyone from the North East by using the words black and/or white).

    As I've said before, the vote is liable to be close. If we vote to stay, as I very much hope the UK will, it will still be a shot across the bows of the EU. The closeness of the vote will not go unnoticed in Brussels, nor across the rest of the EU.
    If those in power fail to heed those warnings, then in time consequences will follow.

    No problem, as I said, you're one of those people who needed programmes like Till Death Us Do Part explained to them. Love Thy Neighbour would have had you completely bemused!

    I wish it was true, but nothing will change and we will get dragged into an ever closer EU with more counties set to join, all very poor with lots of them wanting to come to the UK.

    There seems to be some misconception that if we vote to leave that we can just decide to join again if we find we've made a mistake. We can't! This is final.

    If you give up your season ticket to a major Prem club, you can't just walk back and say 'changed my mind' you'll be told to **** off to the back of the queue. Britain would get the same response.

    Or at any future day.

    Oh, and don't worry about your pension. If the leave vote wins, global markets will tank and take your pension with them!...

    As I say, irrelevant. All pensions are mostly invested in the equity markets. If those go in the tank, your pension goes with them.

    Investment in the UK will fall sharply and significantly. It would take at least two years to negotiate a 'divorce' from the EU. All of that would create massive uncertainty. Nothing investors hate more than uncertainty and so investment into the UK would come to a Virtual halt.

    The economy would contract and then shrink significantly. Hitting jobs, pay, house prices, etc.....

    Actually, quite a lot of immigrants do seem to support either Man Utd, Liverpool or Arsenal. There might be a case for restricting some of them on those grounds. Some sort of test perhaps.

    Again. more sweeping generalisations and assumptions. The trade mark of racist bigots. <ok>

    As being 'half darkie' is your get out for racist comments, do you get less leeway than a full 'darkie'? Why aren't you a 'half whitey'? Scientists suggest we're all of African origin, so are we all allowed a bit of racism?

    It's no good accusing me of being racist, my dog's black. <ok>

    Nah, they just get the shirts from charity groups when the previous owner discards it and chooses a new club.

    It's okay, we'll just get George Soros to invest it for us.
