Don't buy that scare story. The EU are frightened to death of losing us as a trading market. We are the 5th largest economy in the world. We can get free trade terms with the EU.

I have heard several people say they're voting "remain" because otherwise theyre gonna kick all the immigrants out, which supposedly includes their husbands/wives.

No its not true, but this is the narrative theyve been fed their whole lives.

The Remain campaign has been nothing but scare stories.
Nobody with a job is getting kicked out.

The unemployed Romanians though? Yeah they are going back.
So they should too.

The areas where Leave were expected to win they are winning with an increased majority.
Sunderland voted Leave with a 20% margin.

Newcastle was expected to be a Remain landslide and it was 1%.

We could win this yet!!!!

Why? Because apart from stopping immigration, I havent really heard a decent economic argument that cant be shot down.

Because I don't want laws set by people that I have no opportunity to vote out and I don't want my tax dollars propping up failed banana republics like Italy, Greece and Spain.

We've got relatives over there.

They want out.

For basically these reasons.

Nobody who is less that a fourth generation British citizen should be allowed to vote.

Muslims, white ethnics, subcontinental Darkies, Negroes ~ none of these recent immigrant aliens have a vested interest as the historic Britisher does in seeing Britain regain her sovereign independence.

Political Correctness is going to lose the day for the patriotic Brexit nationalists.

God you're totally ignorant and racist.

I actually feel very sorry for you...and your ridiculous ideas are very telling of just how out of touch you are regarding migrants.

Dunno if I go to that extreme but there is no way my youngest step-daughter, an Aussie, living and working in Scotland should have been able to vote.

Are we not a super power?
