It's funny whenever i go to Europe i never feel like part of it.I think it's the language barrier although alot of Europeans do speak abit of English.I did get friendly with a group of Germans when i was in Latvia though and we all stuck together because there were gangs of Albanians going around robbing people.We played table football England v Germany and got very drunk.
Germans are very much like us in my experience.Love to get pissed and have a similar sense of humour.

My guess is like Scotland many will bleat on about leaving then get cold feet and choose remain.

I'm sure you're a very sensible non violent person, but it's not just easy for you to travel, it's also easy for criminals to travel.

Former PM Sir John Major has said he is "angry about the way the British people are being misled" by the campaign to get Britain out of the European Union.

He told Andrew Marr he feared people would vote to leave on the basis of information "known to be incorrect".

He highlighted claims by Leave figures Boris Johnson and Michael Gove that the UK sent Ł350m a week to the EU as an example of "deceit".

Mr Johnson stood by the figure and urged an end to "blue-on-blue action".
Follow the latest developments on our live page

In his most outspoken intervention to date in the referendum debate, Sir John insisted he was not personally attacking fellow Conservatives Mr Johnson and Mr Gove but he accused them of running a campaign that was "verging on the squalid".

And he described former London mayor Mr Johnson as a "court jester," who he suggested might not have the loyalty of Conservative MPs if he became party leader.

Which is why we have the European arrest warrant, which will go if we vote out. It won't stop criminals from Europe coming or going between European countries however.

That is true to Kizzy.

As to Sir John Major he spoke really passionately this morning and in my view sadly is right as to some of those on the 'leave' side.

His scathing attack on Michael Gove,Ian Duncan Smith and also Boris Johnson as to their own 'real' thinking as to the NHS and them then daring to bring the NHS into the play of this referendum, was priceless.

If Labour does get their act together,the former Conservative PM has given them loads of ammunition for election posters.

Agreed.

I do see a narrow win for to 'leave' coming about however, and then more chaos after that coming about likely across the UK.

I hope I am wrong in that prediction and enough who want to 'remain' make sure they do vote,I have no doubt just about all the 'leave' voters will ensure they do.

I prey to the Gods we brexit, I would literally cut my hand off to brexit it means that much to me. this is our last chance to exit a post apocalyptic corporate takeover that will enslave us and our governments to corporations FOREVER. it really is defcon . only this week they've in effect finished taxi work for the working millions forever. they've wiped out greengrocers, butchers, toolmakers, milkmen , newsagents, farmers, fishermen, steelmakers, coalmen, you name it and they've either totally taken over an industry or destroyed it for their own insatiable untaxable greed. uber don't pay vat because theyre supposedly dutch even though they have 40,000 cars in the uk...that's yet another 20% advantage the European union gives them...the open borders is simply to drive down wages, they don't give a damn about terrorism, its LL ABOUT THEIR PROFIT WHICH IS THEN EXPORTED TO TAX FREE HAVENS.. its so corrupt it makes eye eyes bulge.....WAKE THE HELL UP BRITONS WE ARE SLEEPWALKING INTO A NIGHTMARE

I'm not surprised by that at all Joey. I'm voting Leave but I myself am sick to death now of all the news coverage and the sniping by both sides. I've even avoided the news for weeks because I'm simply tired of hearing about it.

It has become a disgraceful shambles in my view Tom,I didn't really expect it to be a good exercise but how undecided voters are left feeling at the nonsense rather than real 'true' information they are getting from both sides should be and is appalling.

The media too,who actually had a good opportunity to be the outlet to really inform and help the voters on this.
Sadly are totally pre-occupied with a likely leadership challenge in the Conservative party,then also as to why Jeremy Corbyn is not here ,there and everywhere and finally treating the whole thing as another almost general election campaign rather than a referendum.

I love politics, I would love to be a MP someday but I am left really squirming and ashamed at the absolute mess that has been made of this whole exercise.

So much so now, when I come across someone who says what you have just said as to avoiding it and people saying they are sick to death of the whole thing,my response now is ''I Don't blame you at all as to that''.

It will likely leave a great many not bothering to vote at all and for the way peoples concerns have been ignored on this,all Parties and near all MPs involved too,should hang their heads in shame after this ridiculous spectacle is finally over, whatever the result.
