Definitely remain.

The pie-in-the-sky dreamworld of the fools who cannot grasp the consequences of leaving will evaporate within days of a Brexit. I cannot believe how gullible people can be.

They prattle on about "lack of democracy". In a country where the upper chamber has not one solitary elected member, and the government of the day has a majority in the HoC based on a little over a third of popular support. Those who truly value democracy should look nearer home than Brussels.

They whine about "daft laws" that interfere with our lives, yet I guarantee if asked for one solitary example, they couldn't. They just parrot what The Sun tells them to. And, before anyone repeats it, the "banana rule" was repealed.

They moan about how much it costs us, ignoring the fact a good deal comes straight back. What we will "save" by coming out will just about pay for our access to the single market. If we remain in the single market, then immigration will remain precisely where it is now. If we come out, then we can kiss goodbye to any major future foreign investment. What global company in their right mind would use the UK as their European base when we are outside the major market, with high labour costs?

It is absolutely no surprise that the surveys have shown that the less educated you are, the more likely you are to be a Bexiter. You only have to listen to them try and debate.

Hmm I'm sure Boris Johnson, for instance, went to Oxford or Cambridge. I bet he could even spell 'Brexiter' too!

I want to know if anyone has ever seen Boris Johnson and Donald Trump together.

It's legal here. C'mon over .

Trump might even choose Boris - who is a natural born US citizen - as his running mate.

That thought had occurred to me too. I was keeping it to myself, for fear that someone may consider it a good idea and run with it.

Yes - in Bristol. See below. Warning: those of a sensitive disposition, look away now.

I suspect a lot of the "undecideds" will probably have a reality-check when they get to the voting booth, and will go for the "devil you know....." and opt to stay in.

I suspect the final result will for the UK to stay within the EU, but it will be a close run thing. And I do wonder if we will ever get another opportunity to vote again in the not too distant future? I suspect not.
