The situation is unbalanced as virtually all of the political elite is for remain if you look at the newspapers all of the financial press, the economist, the financial times, the liberal dailies, the Guardian, the Independent, the Mirror are for remaining. Murdoch press is slightly skeptical but on the whole is in favour of remaining. The fear campaign is similar to the Scottish indi campaign. If you remember, fear totally dominated the last two to three weeks. It's difficult to open a newspaper without reading some fear campaign. IF BRITAIN LEAVES DISASTER WILL HAPPEN.... I don't have any respect for the remain or Brexit CAMPAIN(s) I'm not with Farrage or Borris but am able to see the bigger picture and not focus on the analysis. I want to see the tactics, like the And there's the rub. I would guess probably 80% or so if voters had. You may get 5% if people genuinely changing their mind but the majority of people who are there to be influenced were floaters anyway. As you say both campaigns have been poor but both campaigns have used fear not just remain.

Australia is underpopulated. and... The Cerebus-headed monstrosity of Boris Johnson, Michael Gove and Priti Patel have announced that if Britain chooses to leave the European Union, it will introduce an "Australian-style points system" for migrants and require all new entrants to speak good English. This is presented as a natural consequence of any Leave vote, which should be alarming. That Brexit movie didn't even mention migration once; for months now the Brexiters have been trying to convince us that really it's all about leaving one cloistered continent and opening ourselves up to the whole world, becoming a truly global force, modern and democratic and lit by a kinder, brighter sun – but in the end, it turns out that it was all just about not having to hear foreign languages on the train. We don't need the stifling, bloodless, bean-counting quantitative Brussels bureaucracy; we can introduce a stifling, bloodless, bean-counting quantitative bureaucracy all by ourselves (in fact we already have done for non-EU migrants). After all, what three words conjure up an image of untrammelled human liberty more than "points-based system"? In fairness, I've never been to Australia; in fact I'm occasionally suspicious that the whole country was made up by some sinister cabal as a test of our gullibility, to see if we'd really accept the idea of a country where there's an awards show called 'the Logies' and the prime minister eats raw, unpeeled onions on camera. But if it exists, then Australia is a country founded on an almost total genocide, in which settlers killed every last living person in Tasmania, and which under the "White Australia Policy" forbade all migration from non-European countries until 1973. This history clashes with the anti-immigration orthodoxies a bit; it's much harder to say "it isn't racist to systematically exterminate an entire continent of its indigenous population" or "it isn't racist to discriminate based on race", although some people would probably give it a shot. But anyway, all that is in the past now. Except Australia's more recent record is also pretty harrowing. The country maintains a detention centre on the Papuan island of Manus, where refugees and asylum seekers attempting to enter Australia are held indefinitely. The government's stated intention is to resettle the refugees in a third country, but as of last year more have been killed by disease or riots than have been allowed to move on elsewhere. Conditions in Manus are so intolerable that last December 600 refugees, exhausted by their tropical purgatory, signed a letter to the Australian government begging to be allowed to die. that was kind of my point Nick.

That, as I'm sure you know, is because the population was concentrated more in London until suburbanisation and slum clearance. You can't take London in isolation. Britain will be one big conurbation of s*** holes at the current rate.

Typhoid TB Flu Cholera Diphtheria measles and whopping cough where all killers, where as in modern Britain today they are not. London back then was a diseased ridden cesspit, and without modern medication it will be again I fear. A look at West Croydon will show you the future to come

1.the concessions Cameron got are in a range of newspapers, not just the economist. 2. Many of the companies you mention were once in public ownership.They should not have been privatised (by both main parties in the UK) Yes EU rules state that there should be competition, it follows the Neoliberals agenda and is one of the reasons I may vote leave. But don't for one minute think that in or out of the EU whatever government in power here wouldn't have allowed it to happen... You will not be voting leave, everybody knows it and you know it.

I'm back up in the air I have my postal vote filled in with an OUT, but now not sure whether I'll post it or abstain. It won't be an IN, certainly, but it will be an OUT or nothing at all. The more I think about it the more I think I'm just not qualified to make the call (but sadly the lying toe-rags on both sides aren't either). Either way I've got to be at work at 7:30 Friday morning to cope with the anticipated large scale stock trading whatever the result

The VOTE IN will win and is engineered to do so. A film called "The Killing Of Tony Blair" will be released in July, lots to do with this and will prove what I'm saying. Keep dreaming people and don't lose heart when remain win as it's designed that way! Edited by DivingIsNotGood (21 Jun 2016 2.51pm)

If it's just a guilty conscience thing then you can appease yourself that you'll have just cancelled out someone equally unqualified voting "In".

The national debt HAS increased significantly under Cameron. It has not been paid but has doubled. Income tax has gone down, and we see the core elite, core corporation does not contribute as much as the bottom 99%. The rich are getting far far richer quicker than ever before while the rest of us are forced feed total bul1sh1t to comply and keep their hamster wheel turning.
