Pound tumbles to lows not seen since 1985 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-36611512 ""Never seen anything like it. These are once-in-a-lifetime moves, bigger than Lehmans and Black Wednesday, and we haven't even had the result yet," said Joe Rundle, head of trading at ETX Capital."

Are you really quoting breitbart? :lol: Next you going to quote beeg.com?

HAHA! We can behave, Col, as Britain is going to stay in, so no drama, right? Is the forum providing any sort of consolation for the other side?

Oh I dunno. Defeating the Spanish and French, building two Empires, one of which was the greatest in human history. Giving the world democracy, civilisation, global trade, and the rule of Law. Removing feudalism in place of the Parliamentary democracy and giving the common man Rights via the Bill of Rights and the Magna Carta. Freeing Europe from German domination..twice. Developing Universal healthcare, the welfare state. Inventing 56% of everything that has ever been invented and gifting it to the world. I'm pretty sure we can manage without the EU Not with weather!

One from my Romanian friend, the CEO and Chairman of Canary Wharf Group: "One of these days, some time soon, my friend Boris Johnson will wake up and say to himself: “What have I done to this country? How have I helped to create a society split from top to bottom? How did I end up sharing a platform with Nigel Farage and the far right, with the allies of Marine Le Pen, Britain First and Donald Trump?†More profoundly, he might ask: “What would my hero Sir Winston Churchill say if he could see me now?â€" http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/immigration-rhetoric-poses-huge-threat-to-britains-stability-b2qz9kzc7

See the University teachers letter I've posted earlier today.

"I am a migrant from the European Union. You have probably heard lots of things about people like me in the referendum campaign, but you may not have actually heard from any of us. We have got more to lose than anyone else – our livelihoods depend on the outcome – but we do not have a voice, or a vote. I came to live in the UK in 1998, to study for a PhD. Before that, in 1993-94, I had been an exchange student here, partly funded by the EU’s Erasmus programme. It was on that occasion that I got to know and love Britain as an open-minded and welcoming country. My landlady was one of the kindest and warmest people I have ever met. My fellow students later came to visit me at my (then) home in Berlin, and I’m still friends with many of them. I returned to Britain as soon I could. After finishing my PhD, I embarked on a post-doc and then moved to another university, where I worked for eight years, before taking up my current post. I have profited from the openness of UK academia and the mobility offered by EU membership. I have very rarely encountered prejudice or discrimination, and have been able to thrive as a result. My laboratory would fall apart if Britain left the EU Give and take But, as in any good partnership, I have given a lot back. I have worked hard to educate thousands of students over the years. I have undertaken research and written books and articles. I have worked as a head of department and an external examiner, and taken on countless administrative roles at my own institutions and in other bodies. There are thousands of people like me at British universities – one study puts the figure at 15 per cent – and the country has undoubtedly benefited from the international nature of this workforce. To compete internationally, the UK’s universities have to be able to attract the best talent, wherever it is found. Success in the international rankings relies on their ability to do just that. If the UK votes to leave, it will become less attractive not only for EU nationals, but for the brightest and best across the world. Several US-born colleagues, for example, have told me that one of the reasons they settled in the UK was because indefinite leave to remain here gave them access to the EU. But the signs are ominous. The referendum campaign has created an atmosphere of hostility towards immigrants, in ways I have never experienced in my 18 years in this country. We are being blamed for the state of public services such as health, housing and education, and for undercutting wages, even though the real culprits – chronic underinvestment, poor planning, ineffective governance and watered-down labour laws – are entirely homemade. The tales of intimidation and threats against pro-Remain campaigners, immigrants and their supporters are a cause for serious concern. There is no doubt that many Leave proponents are decent, thoughtful people, but there is also no doubt that parts of the campaign have played on xenophobia and emboldened nasty, violent racists."

You get to vote for MEPs. More about the Brussel bureaucrats here: https://fullfact.org/europe/eu-facts-behind-claims-brussels-bureaucrats/ More about the democracy within EU: https://fullfact.org/europe/eu-facts-behind-claims-democracy/ Did you include Kosovo, Taiwan, Western Sahara, Greeland and Palestine as well? Otherwise 194 to be precise Rules and regulations are good, just like on this forum. I got banned once, you know... I didn't agree with the ban from the bloody forum bureaucrats, but if I want to stay here and benefit from the wonderful community and friends here, I need to adhere to the rules. Quite fair, isn't it? More here: https://fullfact.org/europe/eu-facts-behind-claims-regulation-and-single-market/ and here: https://fullfact.org/europe/eu-facts-behind-claims-trade-rules/ We can still trade with countries outside the EU through EU deals. It's good not to have the EU market flooded with "cheap Chinese knockoffs and replicas" isn't it?
