Your second point is invalid, because not only has the UK NOT 'got things in place' and 'prepared properly' - we cannot even feed, clothe, house, or give proper medical and hospital services to our EXISTING population. Not to mention education, benefits and other services.

Additionally, we are a tiny island - not physically capable of accomodating unlimited numbers of additional people.

No one - NOT EVEN FARAGE - is advocating a total ban on immigrants, just proper control of both QUANTITY and QUALITY, and not even the most confused of 'Remain' supporters can find fault with that desire, surely.

Although I do disagree as to immigration,I feel it can be handled better and more sensitively and respectfully for the dignity of those human beings who wish to migrate.

I just believe even if we leave, likely little will change in the end anyway.
So I prefer to take the chance of the UK working within the EU to make progress properly, and not in a discriminating way against any other human beings.

I - who supported Cameron and detested Corbyn - end up detesting Cameron and seeing some honour in Corbyn.

Still, things will soon be back to more lie normal after the 23rd, but I'm afraid as far as I am concerned - whatever the result - I will never forgive Cameron and Osborne for their deceit.

I have had, as maybe you have, quite heated differences even with some in my own family.
So when I have challenged and appeared more grumpy,none of it was toned in a bad way,however the written word does not convey that tone.

On this issue I see more honour in Cameron and less in Corbyn, there it is :joker:
It is an upside down,all over the place issue, albeit a very important one.

Nearly over now, and for sure, I will be one of the first on here Friday or Saturday who, if the result is to leave,will be congratulating you on that result and your efforts as to same.
Even though we have massively disagreed throughout.

3. If it is a 'Remain' result, being banned will be the least of your worries after time elapses, because WE will be proved correct on EVERYTHING we say, and you will have been instrumental in shamelessly contributing to the demise of this country by virtue of your 'Remain' stance.

I find the idea that leaving the EU could somehow spark a new "golden age" for Britain to be utter fantasy... there is literally no evidence for it at all other than "high hopes", and delusions of grandeur in a large - and crumbling - world.
