European Union Referendum

[Dr Mantis Toboggan]

just got my government funded stay-in leaflet through the door. not sure what i should do with it. send it back? burn it?

 

[johnnytodd]

which people want to stay in Europe ffs?

it's killing the country bottom up.

 

[Dr Mantis Toboggan]

wow 40/38 to the stay-ins. alty's posting is having a tremendous impact it seems

 

[Alty]

It takes a special kind of person to make others think precisely the opposite of what you'd like them to. I'm Derren Brown after being spat out of a wormhole (or something).

Mind you, roughly 50/50 on a largely young liberal forum isn't bad.

[Womble98]

To be honest I'm largely on the fence, and I don't think I will properly make my mind up till the end.

german satire with english subtitles

And they say the Germans don't have a sense of humour...

....so fucking predictable

 

[blade1889]

Anybody else just decided to vote out?

 

[Aberstone]

Anybody else just decided to vote out?

I snuck in then.

Excellent speech from my local MP, Kelvin Hopkins who offers a left-wing perspective on why we should leave.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

german satire with english subtitles

I'm sure it was funnier in the native tongue. Reading the subtitles didn't enhance the experience.

I would never expect ABBA to vote leave anyway

 

[Aberstone]

Of course, but every non-EU exchange I met (bar one American girl who had this crazy scholarship) could only come as they had wealthy parents. Foreign students in the UK have to pay even higher tuition fees than us, then of course there are the high costs of living and travel etc. Erasmus averts this as you don't pay fees to your host university, your fees to your own university cover this. Then there is the centrally awarded grant which all get, a massive help towards living costs. The links created between the participating universities is closer than anything I've seen outside this and nowhere near the scale of people involved either.
Yes as blades says.

We could afford to fund programmes like these our self, but you're placing far too much trust in a government which just wants to ideologically cut and slash and attack those with the least, most.

On a wider point, this is what worries me the most about (likely) voting to leave. This government I'm sure would be happy to scrap the Human Rights Act and decimate worker's rights to make us a cheap labour source.

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free

[Cheese & Biscuits]

The guy on the right couldn't be more 'out' if he tried.

 

[mente captus]

[GodsGift]

Err, I think PP's point still stands...

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

[mente captus]

They've already said they would scrap the human rights act, but it was only Europe that stopped them. (Unless they only put it in to the manifesto to appeal to the more frothing right wingers, not really expecting to be voted in on their own)

What are you talking about? The Government could scrap the Human Rights Act now if it wanted. It's the liberal wing of the Conservative Party that's stopping it doing so.

 

[silkyman]

It was in their fucking manifesto. Why haven't they performed such an easy task?

 

[Alty]

I just told you why.

Their manifesto was written partly as a negotiating document in the event of them having to form a coalition.
