This morning we've had the same exit scaremongering from Philip Hammond MP and Rupert Harrison of BlackRock Investments (who just happens to be a good mate of George Osborne and his former chief of staff).

It is obvious as the time gets nearer to June 23rd this scaremongering is going to be ramped up to scary levels.

I predict that Blair will warn everyone that Nigel Farage and UKIP have their own Weapons of Destruction and if we vote out Giant Zombie Flesh Eating Spiders will attack the UK starting in London.

Yesterday Nicola Sturgeon who also campaigns to stay in the EU (despite still wanting Scotland to exit the UK) called for less hysteria and scaremongering in the debate.

She knows that this tactic nearly won the day for Scotland's YES campaign last year for Independence. The NO campaign was comfortably ahead until Blair, Brown, Major etc headed north to campaign for the better together group with all their doom and gloom warnings.

Like cats, the British don't like being told what to do, pretty much what the EU is all about.

Is this the same Peter Mandelson that said, "Staying out of the Euro would prove a disaster ... the price we would pay in lost investment and trade and jobs would be incalculable."

The same Peter Mandelson who said in the last day or so that Cameron should sack anyone in the cabinet who's in the exit camp. I wish he'd stay in his own camp.

So IDS saying that we are more likely to be subject to Paris style terrorist attacks *isn't* scaremongering?

Both sides literally don't KNOW what will happen in the event of an exit. This is why both sides are scaremongering.

It's f*cking boring and I can't believe 23rd June is still so effin' far away.

There is a lot more credence to IDS warning about a potential terror attack than there is about the global meltdown of economies (not just ours) that have been bandied about by the Stay campaign.

If you polled the supporters of the Leave/Out campaign you would find most agree that particular threat is high on their list of fears and don't need reminding of it by anybody.

It does p1ss me off though when it was only 3 months ago in November that Cameron was trumpeting how strong our economy was and we held no fears if we had to go it alone. Now he's giving the impression that we would have to hide behind the settee if we even contemplated leaving the EU.

At least Farage and the Eurosceptics have kept to the same script.

The trouble with Mandelson is he is Camp.

Unfortunately, he's also corrupt, a liar, smarmy, odious and a lot more unpleasant things as well!

F**k me, someone stake this c**t and cut off his head. Why would anyone ever be interested in what Peter Mandelson thinks or says about any issue. You might as well ask what Jimmy Savile thought about the EU.

Savile was in the Stay/In camp.

His theory was open borders = more opportunity for paedophilia.

I don't think that's true, whether or not were part of the EU, we're a terrorist target of high priority. In terms of border control, passports are still required to move into the UK.

The UK and European nation states need to share intelligence on suspects, and there really is need for European states to not only share information but to establish an effective cross border police agency with powers of arrest for certain crimes (not least people trafficking, drug trafficking, murder, arms smuggling, money laundering, terrorism and computer fronted offences).

It would also make sharing information of people with convictions in other countries easy. At present obtaining details of convictions from other countries is a monumental pain in the proverbial.

Whilst I'm not an 'in' individual, I think there definitely are some areas where cross European 'federalism' can actually serve the people of the EU.

I think its more that both sides don't really want to admit that in or out, won't actually change anything. If we go out, then we'll go down the route of the 'non-eu partners' in the ETA (which essentially will undermine a lot of the reason to leave the EU) and it'll be sold on the national sovereignty issue.

If we stay in, its business as usual, which is pretty much exactly what it will be if we exit.

The case for the stay vote is so negative - it is all intimidation and extortion. In truth the EU is a disaster, a Marxist experiment that has failed miserably. They cheated and bent the laws to get Greece in and then of course it went into financial meltdown, it is full of petty and too powerful Eurocrats meddling in everyone else's affairs and has someone like Juncker of Luxembourg telling everyone to take in more refugees when his own country isn't big enough to take half a dozen.
Consider this.
Would HSBC have recently decided to stay in London if they thought a Britain out of the EU would harm them?
Business goes where it gets the best deal and frankly we have more chance of striking better deals with the rest of the world then we do with the EU where restrictive practices are legion.

It really isn't Marxist. Its a capitalist trading block that promotes corporate interests of member states and promotes a degree of federalism.

But its not in any way Marxist. I'm quite pro-Marxist and I'm in the out group.
