I've seen the comparison to the Nazi propaganda. Quite pathetic really. The sheer number of refugees (many of which are just economic migrants) flooding into Europe is a genuine concern.


Let's ship you off on an all expense paid trip to Libya/Syria/Somalia and see how long you fancy staying.

Why don't we do the same to you for Turkey and the Balkans, and when you come back ask you why you left turkey and the Balkans

All expense paid trip to Istanbul sounds nice thanks, when do I go? First class please. You must send me a postcard from Damascus, if you keep your head long enough.

Can't beat the Croatian beaches at this time of year either! Little Englanders literally think we live in some sort of utopia, when in reality places like the Balkans and Turkey are incredibly beautiful and rich in culture. Oh well old Nige down at the pub has fond memories of the Empire which he can't seem to let go of so I guess the EU can jog on

And conveniently forget that Boris's great grandpa was a highly significant Turk, and his family changed their surname from Kemal to Johnson...

Oh, well, if they're nice, pretty places then clearly we need to have a political union with them.

We already do. Croatia joined the EU in 2013. Is the population of Zagreb now living next door to you? No.

How do you know who lives next door to me?

My point was that all this talk of how nice continental landscapes and architecture and culture and people are is, whilst very pleasant and mostly true, no argument at all in favour of political unification with continental States.

I've noticed many in the Remain camp develop a habit of making soppy statements about Europe and then saying that we should Remain in the EU, without ever bothering to draw a logical nexus between those two statements. It's a very irritating distraction from real debate.

I don't. But I bet you €1 it's not the population of Zagreb.

Eurosceptic from Croatia. Did not know such people exists.

Yes, the more likely Leave goes through, the more turbulent the markets are becoming and the more evident the economic impact is going to be. Over £110bn wiped off the Uk markets alone over the past week when Remain odds have shortened from 70% to 57%, and the markets starting to tank.

Still who cares right.... right?


When the value of the pound drops overnight they'll understand... too bad it will be too late

Oh and the distinct similarity to this (Nazi propaganda film):

Very bad comparison. The people from back than were not moving 10+ secure countries to join a destination and in most cases they were fleeing in safer parts of the countries where they already live.
I'm still sitting on the fence as i am seeing points from both sides that are intriguing and interesting. I also have friends from both sides that are also trying to convince me to vote either side. Does anyone here have some good points to point me in a direction?

Well, I can tell you that I am firmly in. Mainly from an economic perspective.

Several companies that have said that they will reallocate jobs or investment in a Brexit.

In a survey of 700 British and German firms, more than 29% said they would relocate or cut capacity.

In a survey of 127 American companies that employ 300,000 people, 70% said a Brexit would negatively impact on future investments.

I cannot name a single company that said that they will invest more money in a Brexit.

We have record low unemployment and good growth and are just recovering from the recession of 08-09. Why change that?
