It’s all about if people want to gamble, or want to stick on a 12… If you don’t stick on a 12 - the next card can bust you for sure, so the only way to not lose “right now” is to stand where you are, and vote Remain.
Trouble is, there ARE guaranteed losses caused by “not changing anything” if we do the remain thing. Our contributions are likely to increase in the future, we do NOT get out of “future bailouts” - because we’re already balls-deep into a bailout deal with all the relevant countries ALREADY as an ongoing thing. The only ones we’d be getting out of - are if Madagascar applies to join the EU in the near future - not as daft as it sounds, when you think Australia and Russia are involved in both the Euro 16 cup and the Eurovision song contest… The result being rigged in the latter so that Ukraine could make a public spectacle of beating “Hated Russia”…
On the Leave side - none of the downside is guaranteed - but neither is the upside. The upside guarantees have been “removed” by the threats from both foreign commissioners AND our own government.
Emergency budget? - Cuts cuts cuts promised? WHY? Honestly Cameron & Osbourne should be sent to the tower for even suggesting that “there will be no money whatseover - because £350m a week being a lie means ANY surplus to spend is also a lie…” I don’t buy that at all. The actual amount could be £349,999,999 per week - and the statement “£350m a week is a porker” cannot be overtuned as yet…
We should stop talking about “unknowns” outright (not Donald Rumsfeld style either!)
What IS guaranteed but no one seems to be talking about - is that there WILL be a surplus of SOME Kind. We pay the EU more than we get out - even including their “donations” to the arts, academia, etc. plus the so-called “Rebate” on top. We net lose money to the EU. Its a 100% FACT - but it’s only UKIP banging on about it, when it should be Boris… Too many people are shooting down Boris all the time with his good, but incomplete arguments - and not putting Farage up to explain why his facts are facts… He could start with the fact that he’s been “more correct in his prior “considered to be speculations” facts more often than anyone else since the very beginning”…
Since Boris is Current Government - any arguments that “He’s not in a position to alter government policy with open-ended spending promises” which is like saying "You cannot vote Labour because Labour cannot be the next government - and they won’t be if you think that’s a valid argument for not voting Labour!"
Ya-boo politics at it’s worst…
“They are crappier than us… Vote for Us.”
“That’s not true - you can’t prove it - they lied - vote against “US” instead by voting for WE.”
The EU say we cannot re-implement our old trading routes as we had when we had an Empire on which the sun never sets…
There’s NO rule on planet Earth that says "You cannot have more ocean-based trade routes - because you used to be an Empire which WE are ashamed of FOR you…
Listen to those with an interest in seeing Britain fail - and you’d think that “The Second Reich” was indeed the predecessor to Hitler’s Third Reich as he originally described it himself by even using such labels…
It is not against international law to set up new trade routes with any country not under embargo that you choose. It breaches NO Human rights of any kind. No one has a Lawful right to steal from Britain’s interest at any time. Once OUT of the EU, they have the option of trading with us or not. If they say no, or hurl us an insulting deal - we can go elsewhere. THEY cannot! For the EU - It’s “Bite your tongue with Britain - or go without!”
Once the wider world realizes this - the Euro will rapidly lose ground against the Pound - and will accelerate the EU’s decline as a “failed big government project”.
They’ll not be able to even bribe us to stay by this point, as we should wisely request that all bribes and deals offered to us be made in Sterling or USD - since the Euro currency is already sinking so fast… Perhaps we should avoid demanding payments in Gold as was done during the 1920’s weimar default that led to the hyper-inflation in Germany - and onto the Rise of Hitler…
The pound is up against the Euro today. Who’s talking about THAT? - You only hear about the “Down days” on the remain-biased Media alas… The pound has not actually moved that much in the past YEAR if this chart is anything to go by - near the bottom still, but not breaking down into “new multi-year lows”…
Let’s vote according to what our own people can DO and what they can stop foreign minsters from “doing to us”.
“Take our country back” sounds about right. There’s just too few of us that gain from being in the EU, and too many of us that WOULD gain - if only we could get the gloves off of our own weak and ineffective government.
We were never supposed to be a vassal state to some other faceless, un=elected power. That’s what would have happened if we’d lost the war FFS…
