    Thank you Lyn. I consider myself spanked.

    A good job I did not copy some of the more vitriolic comments. 

    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    The blue side looks professional; the red side looks like an extract from a newsletter.

    I don't think there is anything subtle about it.

    Is the Electoral Commission supposed to be unbiased and independent? Who are they?

    As I understand it the pages (colour, format, text etc.) were exactly as supplied to the Electoral Commission by the two official campaign organisations. The Electoral Commision is there to ensure that everyone knows how to register and how to vote and to oversee that an election is run fairly.

  • "..."denials" by politicians etc.  "Most eventually" the words of migrants interviewed 

    honestly, Danae, who really knows anything?  Very few of us but shouldn't we at least voice our concerns?...."

    Thank you for the reply, Verdun.  Unfortunately, I missed that particular programme. 

    Just like the rest of the country, I really no longer believe what politicians are saying.  Their hyperbolies are at times almost amusing: we will all starve to death, another world war will break out and destroy us as soon as we leave and, I have no doubt, the bubonic plague will revisit us. 

    I'd have found it interesting to hear these refugees/migrants speaking in their own voices.  Frankly, I don't even believe translated dialogue either.  I have, on many an occasion, found so called translations to be incorrect, to put it mildly.

    I still don't know what the truth is and, consequently, still find it hard to take the final decision but I have to be utterly truthful and say, I SOOOO wish the exiters would hide the UKIPpers in some cupboard; they aren't helping.  Not all of us who are thinking an independent Britain would be a better Britain are xenophobic, racist or entirely cretinous.

    I wonder about the relevance of borders as such. We are an island. Getting a small boat and crossing the channel or the north sea  or going round the other side to Wales or the west  or north of Scotland would pose little deterrent considering the hazardous journeys some migrants have taken already.

    is this the most hate filled , bitter and divisive thread ever posted? Yes

    Will one single person change their views of IN/OUT because of it? .No.

    Hostafan, that's why I've kept out of it. But I think out would be a catastophe. Wonder if I'll get hate mailimage
