The absurd thing is that a majority of Sturgeon's own members support Brexit, so she's not even representative of her own little grossly overrepresented party! Yet this doesn't stop Dave and his cronies peddling the lie that a Brexit would presage the breakup of the UK. Even the most nationalistic elements in the SNP have noted the oil price collapse, and appreciate the utter basket case Scotland would now be if they'd got their way. The worst profits of doom didn't come close to predicting the total wipe-out of oil revenues to Scotland. The SNP had a very lucky escape from their own greed and anti-English sentiment, and can only thank their older and wiser citizens for this. The only threat to UK unity comes from the regionalisation plans of the EU, but Remain doesn't want to discuss that issue!

This is true, but many people can't identify with such an abstract concept, so it needs to be phrased in something like the "we want our country back!" slogan. I've been heartened by the number of young people (apparently it's about 58%), who have already seen past the "let's all hold hands" nonsense spewed out by leftie teachers, the media, and NWO loons. Apparently you create a NWO by tearing down everything which our ancestors believed in, and many gave their lives for, and (as Gorbachev so ably put it) "recreating the Soviet Union". Well, that one caused universal misery and economic disaster the first time around, so calling it something else isn't going to deliver a better result. They claim to be creating another United States of America, completely papering over the numerous and fundamental differences. Somehow - and no one can tell us exactly how - if we really really wish for it enough all the practical difficulties will simply disappear. When Paxo referred to the 13 year-old guardinista juveniles running the BBC he might have included the so-called Remainers in this. A harmonious Europe is one that is ease with its past and can easily accommodate national differences - not a doctrinaire, one-size-fits-all. one which sets out to pretend that they don't exist, or - Soviet style - can otherwise be legislated away by an elite ruling class.

The REAL "surprises"come after the referendum: the EU budget with an unfunded twenty billion black-hole in it; the mega bill from Brussels for the UK to fund Merkel's migrant crisis; Junker's EU Army being waved through; Turkey being fast-tracked through EU admission (the deal has already been done); the regionalisation of Europe to obliterate national boundaries; the amnesia about Dodgy Dave's no-treaty-change deal; the UK being sucked into propping up the Euro; the universal EU tax system; the implementation of the EU UBI funded by the British tax payer (wow, think on the migrant draw there!); the legalised theft from British bank accounts (already law!); TTIP; and of course the rapid expansion of EUROGENDFOR to crush any public opposition to any of this, and more, happening. Meanwhile... the compliant media will get the public all in a tizz about unjustified EU directives on the power of British electric kettles! Suddenly, the benefit of not having to change your money when you go on holiday - which was what deceptively bought many a young-and-naive vote (like mine) in 1975 - seems a little quaint!

I think that maybe you are missing the point there (and maybe they should just reward Blair for keeping his mouth shut as he alienates more former Labour voters than Tories) but it's the equivalent of codgers still wearing the old school tie. You need to make a public display that you are still solidly in the EU elites club until your dying day. It really doesn't matter if even your peers despise you (privately they do), it's playing the game by the club's rules that matters to your continued position and, yes, "influence". In Blair's case the channelled money from international business and banks would dry up in an instant if he said anything that was remotely critical of the EU. The economic impact on private jet manufacture and maintenance organisations would be cruel. And, at a time when the plummeting oil price has made it so cost-effective to burn thousands of gallons of fuel for just one person to attend yet another international "climate change" conference too!

"The PM wants you to know that IF... nod, nod, wink, you know what I mean marm?. And... about that cabinet reshuffle on 24th June... which of the filthy Brexit supporters jobs could you see yourself filling? But, maybe it's time you were considering that Euro non-job - elections are so disrupting to one's lifestyle - and of course the generous benefits aren't subject to the appalling public scrutiny MPs now have to endure."

Former defence secretary Sir John Nott has suspended his Tory party membership until Cameron is removed: I think we all know what his diplomatic "borders on dishonesty" is code for!

Well, he may not be technically mine (yes, I'd have to Google for that), but he sends me an email once a week, and is the one that properly represents me. http://www.jonathanarnott.co.uk/ ...and - totally unlike the rest of them - he's working hard to put himself out of a job. Exactly my kind of politico! Nor (Ms Morgan) is he a racist, xenophobe, or any other casual leftist epithet you care to sprinkle around to justify your own extreme bigotry and assumed victimhood!

Ah, well, the irony that Nigel would like to replace white euro-trash immigration by commonwealth immigration regardless of race or colour could be a little lost on Ms Morgan! It's actually people like her who give the extreme right credibility; this forms a convenient symbiotic dependency. Anyway, she needn't explain her vocation: plain for all to see that it's Professional Victim!

What's shaping up as sinister is the utterances of Clan Cameron! This is the stuff of armed uprisings Lord Snooty - remember Boston! I think it will be a lot more subtle than a plain ignore; in true EU fashion we'll be asked to go back and think again until we give the answer that the elites need to hear. It won't be put like that though: It will be continuing EU membership wrapped up as a trade deal, and all the EU controls will be pitched as essential to necessary continued trade. We won't truly break free until we restore popular democracy by kicking all the establishment parties hard in the proverbials. Until this is done in a really decisive manner Joe and Jane Citizen is still going to be treated with contempt.

Not even a few minutes hence - so those weather people have a distinct edge! This was very simply explained to me many years ago by a friend who worked at Lehman Brothers NY. The truth is that if anyone (and that includes financial analysts and economists) knew significantly more than the market on a consistent basis then the market wouldn't function. The armies of financial workers make their living from fixed commissions on other people's money, and telling their employers what their employers want to hear - not by having any unique insights into what's really going to happen.

The same reason primitive societies have witch doctors: in the absence of anything genuinely scientific it pays well!

Pretty much the opinion of all the investors I know, and they too have a rather dim view of professional economists. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/investing/shares/why-the-stock-market-wont-even-notice-brexit/ Seems to me that not only don't economists understand how things work, but the chattering classes are in for a few lessons too.

You need to reread that Merc. I was talking about the TWO principal Out groupings. The smaller Tory-led one got the ticket, even after the much larger leave.eu joined forces with Labour-led cross-party Grassroots Out, but is anyone surprised?

You can practically see the brain working there. Before every single phrase he's thinking how are these next few words going to affect my place in history. Like Cameron - yesterday's man!

Yes, even stopped clocks get it precisely right twice a day! Slapped down: David Cameron faces hostility in TV interrogation Best laugh I've had all week. Sample: So, now we know: Turkey's joining the EU in year 3000 is only an "ambition". When it actually bribes its way in - as Dave is ever burrowing hard to facilitate - in eighteen months time, it won't be (another) Dodgy Dave broken promise, it will simply be a cruelly dashed ambition.

Void?! I don't think so. The establishment-friendly electoral commission will do a bit token grumbling, but wave a rigged result through nevertheless. How do you think the Out campaign with the least popular support got selected to be the lead campaign, and got all the funding? The establishment looks after its own - even those who are being a tiny bit irksome. The trick is to give the illusion of democracy whist giving as little ground to actual popular democracy as possible.

Don't say that! If we don't pull free from the sticky web of elitist cronyism that is the EU this time around, there will be more attempts until we do. And, the next one won't take anything remotely like 41 years! The once-in-a-lifetime nonsense is only in Dodgy Dave's mind. The electorate are absolutely entitled to correct their mistakes, even if that doesn't suit our establishment!

Another today-only offer: http://www.ebuyer.com/703912-asus-t100chi-convertible-laptop-t100chi-fg007b Really it's a high spec. Windows tablet with a decent keyboard. Star features is that it has 2GB of RAM and a pretty useful 64GB of solid state storage. The PassMark is a respectable 1269, and the battery life is good. Unlike a lot of fatally flawed Windows (and Android) tablets the two microUSB sockets mean you can run it continuously from mains power and connect peripherals at the same time. Having a common charging and peripherals socket is the dumbest thing ever, because this forces you to use battery power at the times it's most undesirable! The microSD card slot means you can add extra storage quite cheaply - which Windows manages a lot better than Android does. Drawbacks are that it's 22nm so not state of the art, and although having a 64bit CPU it actually runs the 32bit version of Windows. (you need at least 4GB to run the 64bit Windows smoothly). Bargain I think (esp with the free delivery), but I won't be buying myself as I already have a quite similar Linx 1010b (though my Linx only has 32GB of basic storage), and a new lappy on the way too - wheee!

Hey, the BCOUK logo is missing!

Well we all know where those tree huggers go, but where do the luvvies go? It used to be Labour because it was proletarian fashionable, and that sure paid all around - right wingers would just smile and lefties would lap up the sop. But, where do the Emma Thompsons - those who's lifestyles free them from the consequences of their actions - go now? Let's all hold hands and make the world a better place has been replaced by let's all have a cup of tea with my misunderstood terrorist friends as they really aren't as murdersome as they are painted (except maybe the Jews!). No luvvies with luxury homes on multiple continents are going to go along with that, if only because it's entirely unfashionable, and they might be inconvenienced by the authorities during their peripatetics if they get their names on an international watch list. So, where do they go now, and has Angelina Jolie cornered the market in where they'd all like to be? Thinking about their dilemma I reckon that the luvvies too need a new party, and it could be called the Using celebrity to preach luvviedom to the proles, whilst having no intention of doing anything inconvenient or wealth-draining ourselves party. This would need to be shortened to something trendy like HIP though (Hypocrisy International Party). How about Russell Brand for grand leader? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3527801/Anti-capitalist-Russell-Brand-plans-pool-cinema-3-3million-thatched-cottage.html

Really good find Moe. It doesn't really get on message until about 14 minutes in. Anyone who doesn't see the obviously intended irony in the edit of Corbyn's final words - "Some people are slower learners than others" - is clearly a Corbyn voter! I think the core problem for Labour is that the vast majority of the electorate isn't as simple-minded as their current leader, and that many of those who are will grow up at some point! We learn that he's a total gift to Tory Central, and that this extends to his team. Their anticipated response to their PM's QT question, and what Dodgy Dave came back with shows their reality gap. It was put down to a mole in the Labour camp rather than they hadn't actually thought things through to their logical conclusion. Against that sort of self-delusion Gordo's "it's a global problem" starts to sound convincing. The looks of disappointment on their faces, and the teary emotionalism when things didn't work out as they believed they must, is all an intelligent voter needs to know about a prospective Corbyn government.

Even if they are traced (and compos) the old you can take a horse to water adage still applies. Grade 2 is actually a cop out!

A Grade 2 listing actually means that the state wants it preserved, but hasn't any money to do this; so... it tries hard to push the responsibility on to the legal owner. Believe me, I KNOW!

Yes, yes, but have you reviewed that (EU funded) research report into how the odds correlate with beer residue thickness. That "accidental" spillage could easily be a cynical plot to massively shift the odds, and so end democracy as we know it.

You aren't confusing Reading with Bedders are you? Easy mistake, I know!
