Wow, in all that sweetheart is the bit you take issue with.

That LiBverpudlian media bias really is running rampant.

Untwist thy knicks, KRG.

Barry got stick for his approach too. Was sweetheart a low hanging fruit? Certainly, but you dangled its delicious comparative qualities to be picked.

This is getting funnier by the minute.

Again, from this page you get my knicks being in a twist? Look at the reactions to what is obviously a pisstake post.

But it wasn’t hun, you post lies and get pulled up for it and say its a laugh, how original.

Fight, fight, fight! Come on you pussies, kick the shit out of each other!

Fatso is clearly a #bickeremainer.

We could always sort a Sotonians Fight Club.

Having met both potential combatants, my assessment is that KRG has the reach, but Barry would probably fight dirty, and probably use KRG’s physical attributes against him. Put your money on a bit of hair pulling.

KRG would disarm Barry with a lethal lentil fart.

Go for the knee bazza! it’s weak!

fuck off goat. my boy will take your boy any day of the week. Except Sunday, he does yoga on Sunday.

The money is on Bazza to take a dive in the 7th

Perhaps my reaction here is that I’ve recently experienced a number of people simply parroting the headlines theyve heard on any particular day. My grandad was banging on about the possibility of recession if we Brexited, and he’s not the first. This thread is littered with examples. Barry decided that a headline simply wasn’t enough and posted a whole article. Much of the content we’ve seen supporting the Remain side of the argument are regurgitated forecasts of doom.

Everyone moans about the arguments not being cogent, being too sensationally optimistic or pessimistic, and yet most of them are used as artillery attacks regardless, in an attempt to move a metre further into No Man’s Land.

At times, it’s like a microcosm of the wider problems of the quality of the debate. It’s a has been reduced to economic or immigration arguments predicated on unprovable forecasts… There is a huge amount of legitimate, meaty political fayre to chow down on. Why constrain yourself to the morsels offered up by the campaigns?

Perhaps harshly, I reckon those that complain they do not have enough information haven’t been paying attention, and too many people see their side as the only possible outcome. I’ve been dangling my legs on the Brexit side of the fence, but I am prepared to accept and work with either outcome.

I reckon the chances of you having a constructive post-Brexit strategy are about as likely as Bazza having reform agenda for the EU if we stay in. The reality is that we need to be prepared to make the best of either.

Blackadder speaks for Brexit.

Baldrick: “What I want to know, sir, is before there was a Euro there were lots of different types of money that different people used. Now there’s only one type of money that the foreign people use. Now what I want to know is, how did we get from one state of affairs to the other state of affairs”.
Blackadder: "Baldrick. Do you mean, how did the Euro start?”
Baldrick: “Yes sir.”
Blackadder: “Well, you see Baldrick, back in the 1980’s there were many different countries all running their own finances and using different types of money. On one side you had the major economies of France, Belgium, Holland and Germany and on the other, the weaker nations of Spain, Greece, Ireland, Italy and Portugal. They got together and decided that it would be much easier for everyone if they could all use the same money, have one Central Bank and belong to one large club where everyone would be happy. This meant that there could never be a situation whereby financial meltdown would lead to social unrest, wars and crises.”
Baldrick: "But this is sort of a crisis, isn’t it sir?”
Blackadder: “That’s right Baldrick. You see, there was only one slight flaw with the plan.”
Baldrick: “What was that then sir?”
Blackadder: “It was bollocks.”

The argument about EU membership for Turkey shouldn’t even factor into this referendum - the fact is that they’re millions of miles away from meeting the membership requirements and are incredibly unlikely to get in considering their recent human rights record. Still, at least it doesn’t stop some lovely scaremongering from Leave campaigners, fretting about all the hundreds of thousands of rapists and murderers coming over from there… and to think everyone has roundly condemned Trump for saying things like that, doubt that’ll get picked up on.

I was wavering about how to vote until I saw this. If Alesha Dixon and 5ive are for Brexit, then so am I.

woop woop!

I’m bit other way to Fatso. Everytime someone tells me to Leave it makes me want to Stay, and everytime someone tells me to Stay it makes me want to Leave. I’ve always been like that. Particularly with i.e. girlfriends and Frms

What I want to know in all of this is where Labour stand? Not really heard much from them TBH

I think that Corbyn is a long standing fan of 5ive but was never really impressed by Dixon, apart from when she shook her ass on that NERD video.

The missus was watching BGT last night, from what I saw of her I can’t quite see what doesn’t impress him about Alesha…

No, no, you got it wrong, Please stay Pric Pikey, you’re comments amuse and tickle in equal measure

Excellent piece in the New Statesman (you don’t often get to say that these days) on the left-wing case for Brexit.
