Listening to the Nicky Campbell and then Peter Allen shows on 5Live this morning and it's all referendum calls. Fcuk me, a very large portion of the (calling) UK public are seriously retarded and should probably never be given the power of the vote - especially in something as potentially life changing as this one. The most stupid/retarted/far out/wacko calls are definitely on the Brexit side of the argument and I'm actually starting to get a little worried about what society would look like in the event of a Brexit vote. Though there's definitely a few mentalists on the Remain side.

 

So much so, Scotland Jersey is actually starting to hold some attraction......

 

 

A great sum up Matt! But, I think more simplistic, carefree & misinformed by ill-advised, delusional Brexit politicians. (Boris ex mayor of London...the vast majority of Londoners want to remain in the EU) just as well you're no longer Mayor! You'll never be PM....muppet!

retarded foke of the U.K. Lol Maybe it's just a select few which have grown dependant on the eu to make there money/living

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

And I'm sure being retarded does not affect the right to a vote

[techieboy]

No, it's not as nuanced and thought through as that.

 

We've had a Christian call in for Brexit, because Dignitas (that's Swiss you fcuktard) and abortion is murder and it's legal in the EU so we must come out. 

 

We've had some (middle class sounding) wacko woman call in because she was waiting in the hospital and a BLACK woman came in and said in a thick African accent that she had just arrived with her children and wanted to know how to get her benefits. But she's probably not part of the EU freedom of movement and has come via our own immigration system! Doesn't matter, it's all the same, we need to leave.

 

We've had a GP call in, who at a guess was of Nigerian decent based on his accent, ranting about how the problems with the NHS are a myth and it's only because we treat 85/90yr olds for any of their ill's, rather than in the old days when nobody over 65 got any treatment. Never worked out what side he was on as he became more and more unintelligible.

 

Mental.

 

It just seems that the bulk of the more extremist views/arguments come down on the Brexit side.

No, it doesn't. But it might affect your reasoning.

Maybe its like when the Jocks were getting a bit misty eyed... Lots of "LEAVE LEAVE LEAVE" being shouted about and postered, while the stays were quiet and let the noisy folks have their moment prior to crushing them

 

I hope.

I wouldn't count on it. The leave side have much of the press and half the tory party, some labour and a lot of grey old white men on their side.

 

The Yes campaign for Indepenedence was formed of many grassroots groups, mostly young and left wing, the SNP, Scottish Greens and the SSP. Only paper that came out in in favour was the Sunday Herald and No was ahead the whole time except a single poll in the last week.

 

It's the people not saying anything that you have to look out for though, you are right. They are the majority.

 

Could go either way this.

 

 

oh and....REMAIN.

Just because others have a different view than others it dosent make them mental or " what ever" Let people vote the way they feel necessary and the way things are effecting them The most important thing is we all come together after the vote And accept the vote result I've got to be honest I've been sat on the fence and listened to many arguments However the scare tactics of the stay campaign I think is revolting and at times very desperate Instead of being open and honest But that word honest has probably left politics quite some time a go

a brief pop off the list for this one

 

The scare tactics of Remain pale into insignificance to the flat out lies and zero planning from the leaves... imho of course.

[techieboy]

Sorry if that offends you Chris, I'll try not to use the term again but some of these extremist, untruths and clearly incorrect views offend me. There's clearly an intelligence issue with some and the power of reason holds no sway.  

Let people vote the way they feel necessary and the way things are effecting them

Absolutely. But hopefully people won't do it based on the fact they've seen Polish sausages on sale in their local Tesco. I mean we've always had salami, garlic sausage and chorizo, that's not foreign muck too.  

However the scare tactics of the stay campaign I think is revolting and at times very desperate Instead of being open and honest

Yeah, because the two Brexit campaigns haven't tried scare tactics either, along with undeliverable pie in the sky promises (they're not the Government, they can't spend public money, even in the unlikely event that we actually gained from Brexit, let alone commit to immigration limits). I fully agree, talk of wars, ISIS throwing a celebration party, suspending the stock market on Friday and emergency budgets at the weekend from the In side is also ridiculous. Watch out, the TURKS are coming, in the millions.....

Apparently it's going to be busy and all the leave voters should now vote on Friday 24th.

My last word on this. 

 

We are a nation composed of invaders and refugees, the Anglo-Saxons, the Jutes, the Vikings, the Normans, the Jews, the Hugenots, the list is endless.  They have been coming to our shores for centuries and we have never found it difficult to absorb them.  Their skills and cultures have enriched ours and added to our intelligence, mongrels are always the brightest dogs!  We have always been outward looking and we are not overcrowded, if you want to see overcrowding go to India

 

We are a trading nation and have always been such.  In times past we became the richest nation on the planet, the most powerful too and all off the back of trade.  Today we still rely on trade although the nature of that trade has changed, we can no longer send a gunboat to force our exports on an unwilling market, we have to trade by treaty and agreement and most of those have been put in place since we joined the EU.  It is utterly absurd to imagine we can leave and then just carry on as before.  Our nearest and biggest market will be well and truly p***** off with us and not in any mood to have much to do with us again, they will also be working their socks off to take all the trade that we will no longer be able to transact by virtue of the trade barriers now erected against outsiders, as we would then be.  Don't imagine the Americans will help either, I'm old enough to remember that after WWll we ended up paying our debts by giving them companies like du Pont, allowing them to make the $ the principal currency instead of the £, we gave them the all flying tailplane and early jet engines and plans for the Miles supersonic research aircraft which became the Bell X1, oh yes, the Yanks will be in there too looking to help themselves.

 

Instead of running away from this latest challenge and turning inwards and away from the world we should be standing up and dealing with it, fixing what is wrong, leading by example, doing the things we have always done best.  Honestly, I have read so much sad negativity on this thread, so much blaming everyone else, it's incredible!

 

I hope we vote to stay in tomorrow, that will be a statement to the world that we are players, that we believe in ourselves, a vote to leave will be a vote to pull the door shut and to hoist the white flag.  The End.

You're probably right. Maybe I'm too dim and they filtered my call. Explains why the engaged tone was constant and the SMS's kept bouncing.
