Did you read the government reationale for staying in before you burned it though pap?
I appreciate if it got ‘Government’ written all over it - its bound to be full of shit, but all about getting as broad an opinion on the subject as possible … and filtering out the shite from the bright?
I’ve spent the past several years developing an opinion on the EU. I’m not going to have the government decide it for me.
Very flame resistant though. Still hadn’t burnt much after an hour, and I didn’t have any barbecue fluid to hand. It still exists; a read is still possible, but I reject it on principle. This is supposed to be a binary choice made by an informed electorate. If they want to distribute this information, fine. There are campaigns that they can use to disseminate this information.
They can use fundraiser, not taxpayer cash for that. If they did, I’d expect the literature would be easier to burn
Me too, I seem to be lacking fire starter (or not as the case may be) material. Maybe I could take it along to the Universtiy’s biomass boiler, surely the long burningness of it would generate microWatts of power.
They were fucking hopeless. Worse, there are reports that the policy was a deliberate attempt to water down the Tory vote.
It is however worth remembering, that all Labour did was waive the usual accession rules for new members. We would have had the same problems seven years down the line, but it was incredibly short-sighted (no pun intended) for Blunkett and pals to open the borders without having first prepared us for it.
The only silver lining is that we are arguably further down the process of debating the EU than we would have been, but I attribute absolutely zero credit to Labour for that. It was just something else they did not predict.
Only a few hours in and the little pro’EU’s are turning it into a negative one, this will be messy for all parties as I believe many Northern Labour voters are 50/50 on what way they’ll vote, the tories proabably 70/30 for out and the wet liberals 100/0 in, the Greens there may be a few as they are a localalised party so there is going to be carnage.
I love it, the more poltical bloodletting there is the more we can see what we actually are getting (or not) in this Country.
It is going to be very very close, closer than I first thought and our relationship with the EU will change after this regardless.

I talked to the mother in law this evening about the EU vote. In no uncertain terms she informed me that whereas she has always been pro EU (and a tory voter incidentally) there is no way in hell she would be voting ‘in’ for the referendum. Her reasons were that the EU is a domineering Germany in disguise with no plan to deal with encroaching muslimification. We pay too many taxes for a load of free loading failed politicians and to subsidize feckless mediterranian types.
One feels in the coming weeks you’re going to have to eat humble pie.
And it will be a pie free from EU interference, farmed without subsidy, with all ingredients measured out in imperial weights, patriotically topped with a warm turd from a bulldog’s arse.
Actually, you might want to give that to Boris to eat.
So a vote leave ad just popped up in my instagram feed. Very amusing. But obviously not worked out what ads are going to work with me ( I ignore them all). This one though I have now reported as spam. But from about 90% of the comments people were pissed off that politics had come to adverts in instagram and we’re vote in people.
