The eu have done more for the city of Liverpool over the past few decades than the uk government has

Absolutely fact!

Yep, some of the foreign Students you see about town are worth an 'in' vote on their own.

Have you seen the queues at the airport for non-eu passports, be arsed with that!

Shorter than the EU ones in my recent limited experience!

I was just saying that mocking the kids wasn't fair, as they weren't strictly wrong.

True, and that's the sort of thing that a good EU should be doing.

After all this - whatever the result - Farage will fade into the distance as a relic of history.

I wish I could believe that. I'm more inclined it will provide a fillip for the likes of him, Trump, Le Pen, Wilders, Norbert Hofer, Jarosław Kaczyński and so on.

Stop showing off with names we've never heard of.

Very attacking right winger apparently.

 

[GerryandthePaceMerchants]

Has anyone said "shake it all about" yet?

If this was to decide what milk to put in your tea then I'd agree, but this decision will have repercussions across the whole continent. I'm not sure enough people are really grasping that. I've seen some saying today, for instance, that a collapse of the EU would be a good thing, as though all of the things that would go into such a collapse are positive. It's like we've completely forgotten the last 1,000 years of European history.

Pretty sure the EU is only about sixty years old mate.

 

[Jacob]

Well, there's no guarantee about that. The most extreme situation would see us requiring visas to enter every country if suitable immigration agreements aren't sorted. Doubtful, mind.

Yeah....Theres no guarantee about any of it.

 

[Tree13]

To many to mention here, and I'm not sure that's even the point of this thread (it's been done many times in many of the other threads). It's quite possible me and the missus would emigrate if we voted to leave.

Mrs. Tree and I have had the same conversation, but based on the concern of a remain vote winning.

Either way, one of us is off to Canada.

Yes, and Europe has fought and squabbled amongst itself since the Romans. We've been in a world where we thought that globalised trade would be enough to prevent wars, and it wasn't. Are we really to believe that the likely slump back into recession caused by Brexit coupled with the powderkeg of the ongoing refugee situation isn't going to kick off? We've already seen populists gain ground enormously in France and the Netherlands. They've come within a whisker of power in Austria and are in government in Poland and Greece. Now is not the time to turn our back on Europe.
