Yet the argument that I only here from the brexiteers campaign is based on. Racism and stop foreigners coming here.

yes, cameron with the same old lines , it won him the election as labour made a hash of it previously and he is hoping it will win him the referendum.
and then on immigration he said he will get it down to tens of thousands, last count was 300k... great, carry on at that rate and we will have to build a house every 4 seconds to keep up! but the rich londoners wont care as we wont be building on their nice green fields

| This thread is EMBARRASSING. Aside from the fact that most of you seem to equate [ithinking[/i with reproducing the words of [insert newspaper columnist here] verbatim - we actually have several people claiming - quite seriously - that this debate is fundamentally about who is and who is not a "xenophobic racist".
The more I read of this kind of stuff the more I sympathize with the ruling class. At least they have some kind of purpose.
What was it that George Orwell said, [i“So long as the Proles continued to work and breed, their other activities were without importance. Left to themselves, like cattle turned loose upon the plains of Argentina, they had reverted to a style of life that appeared to be natural to them, a sort of ancestral pattern...Heavy physical work, the care of home and children, petty quarrels with neighbors, films, football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult?”[/i
Trouble is Orwell was living in a time when his Proles actually showed some gumption. Left to trawl the fetid detritus in threads like these (which, alas, are all too common today) I'm sure Orwell would have opened up a vein in utter dismay.

| Then you know nothing at all about Orwell. He was a strident campaigner and activist, not someone who would have curled up and dies in despair at other's views. If he were alive today he'd be front and centre for one side or the other.

I understand that , it's just it wasn't that 18 months ago when Dave was suggesting we'd be fine outside the EU , when he'd just announced the referendum to get rid of Nigel Farage
As for your racism suggestion , that I'm afraid is a cop out , all IMO of course

Do you feel there is a limit on numbers that Britain can accept ?

Jesus H. Christ! You people are incurable.
Leaving aside some very real criticisms I have of George Orwell - what EXACTLY about his body of work (books, pamphlets, editorials etc.) makes you think he'd exude enthusiasm for this debate?
It's interesting that you don't commit to which side of the fence YOU think he'd be on.

| Well the utter c?nts at The Sun say you should vote to leave. Will you all be told what to do by an Aussie?
Though if an addendum were placed on the referendum that with Brexit we'd also ban Donald Trump and Rupert Murdoch from operating here I'd be first to vote for it.

| The Sun just jump on the bandwagon.
Every election year, hold out who they are backing until the polls are almost certainly in favour of someone then they come out and say we are backing this party, then take credit for it as though they had a say when said party wins.
