She doesn't get to vote anyway, she's in some unofficial offshoot to the North of England, Iceland or something Tongue

Both the official remain and leave groups have suspended campaigning following what just happened to MP Jo Cox.

This is going to sound cynical, but maybe even they know it's for the best not to let their cliff dwelling continue on to it's stated terminus, and this gave them a great out? I wonder if the tone and stated goals will change when they resume?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Do you believe that? They just spend the time stocking up on feces to throw at their opponents.

It's the one thing I'd be willing to wager is true of politicians -everywhere-...yeah....but that's not really what I was referring to with those comments.

People say they want an Australian type immigration system without understanding that their immigration rates have increased since it was adopted.

I'm voting for out, so are all my close family and the majority of people I know.

My reasons are that I think the smaller and more concentrated the government organization is the more the government will have the peoples interest at heart.

I think the USA is able to unify easier than the whole of Europe because of geographical, language and cultural solidarity for the most part.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

No surprises there. I don't know anyone like you IRL either. Nor would I want to. It's got something to do with values and the company we're choosing.

How are we supposed to make up our mind when the argument from both sides has devolved into (to quote Heinlein) "... the yammering unceasing lies of shrewd and evil and self-serving men".

What ever do you mean?

Why are you saying either?  I didn't say I don't know anyone who is voting to stay.  I know some people are voting to stay but I don't take it personally.  I can't say if they're like you or not because I don't know enough about you.
