I'm sorry, I didn't realise I was posting on RLFans just for your enjoyment. I don't need to stimulate your already overactive imagination along with the hefty dose of arrogance that dribbles off any replies that shart out of your general direction. You seem to be solely stimulated by fantastical whims with a pseudo-intellectual insecurity parading as confidence. I'm quite happy that you find me a monument to mediocrity given that the alternative is having anything in common with someone so horrifically lob-sided and self-important.

Good work!

Fully agree. All the 'IN' campaign as we know is built around the fear of the leap into the unknown blah blah but there is nothing else that points to any improvements down the line on all the main issues people are fed up with, infact they will likely get worse if we vote to stay in we will become even bigger lap dogs to Merkel and her cronies. whereas i see many positives for coming out even if we have to take some short term hits we will come out better for it in the future.That is my belief anyway.

True. Whilst I haven't read a truly compelling argument as to why we should leave, I've not seen one for why we should stay either.

It's scary to think that the general population have been trusted to vote on such an issue. There's no precedent to cite, no real idea on what will happen if we go (either pros or cons), the true benefits of remaining in etc.

Like the Scottish Referendum, with there being so many unknowns in the mix, the utopian 'out' versus the scaremongering 'in', for the majority of voters it'll come down to their own ideology - to be part of something or to be 'independent'.

I disagree. Do you really think the general population would have been trusted with the vote if it was such a big deal?

I can't believe people actually think that they have a choice. Your vote is just an illusion. Wake up for goodness sake.

Well, we get to vote on who runs the country, which is a pretty big deal.

I get your point though, maybe it isn't a big deal and whichever way the vote goes life wont change for most of us.

But we don't know for certain, and that's my point. We've no idea on the ramifications, how it'll effect our daily lives, how much we'll be out of pocket or quids in etc, how big a deal it really is. I'd rather the people who were most informed, who had no vested interests either way, made the decision on our behalf based on what is truly best for the country. Basically, I'd like the politicians to do their jobs.

OK then if you say so, i won't bother myself

<fx: snooze>

I was wondering what was going on in there, I was next door at the Biomarker Congress for the same two (very long) days.

You realise you just proved his point, right?

But I wasn't in Dallas on the 22nd November 1963.

The French and Germans, or more precisely BMW, are now chipping in with the scaremongering. They've obviously got more to lose than us if it comes down to OUT.
