kumnio Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Lassie in work asked how I was voting, told her remain, she said she was voting to leave. She asked me why, so I asked her why, her response amazed me. She watched something on TV that said unless we voted to leave, there would be 50 million immigrants coming here in October, yes 50 million. I laughed and asked where they were coming from, she said all over, not one specific place, I asked her to clarify that a bit, she said Africa. I walked away contemplating why people can be so utterly idiotic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We must be one of the countries with the lowest percentage of immigrants in Europe, cant blame people though, why would anyone pick a cold wet miserable place, and thats just the summer.

The folk with passion for change are the most vociferous as they are "fighting for their beliefs". The silent majority just want the status quo. I think it'll be roughly the same as the Indy Ref result in that respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotlad Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Apparently it's been pishing doon in Kent today. A low turn out there would be a blow for Leave - that place has the potential to be this referendum's Dundee otherwise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be seriously eye-opening the general ignorance - and I include my own - how little people know about European institutions Apart from the EU, what about those on police, security, law, human rigths, space agency, etc etc - how many people know which of these are anything to do with the EU and which are not? So people who 'like Europe'' will be in favour of all of them, and people who dislike EU will dislike them even if half of them are not EU. They/we may not have an opinion on whether these agencies even exist, or should exist. But we manage to form an opinion on favour of EU or not. (We hear more about the internal workings of the politics of the US than the EU) Then you get people like Juncker who say they don't like referenda as the people may make the wrong choice - so that gets your back up and you're tempted to make the 'wrong choice' for the hell of it...

My polling station was really busy, I voted leave cause my maw was voting stay and neither of us really knew enough so i just balanced out the ignorance. Your maw knew you would do something like that, so she told you a wee lie so that you would vote leave, the same as her, good on her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Bongo Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Apart from my twitter feed which is full of SNP drones following Nicola most people i have talked to are voting Leave. I was really surprised at work with the amount that said they were voting leave My cousin who is in the fire brigade texted to say that most folk from his work were voting leave as was his wife and people she knew For it being odds on that Remain wins it would seem clear that the English are not voting how everyone expected It will be really interesting to see how Scotland votes as again i dont think that will go how everyone expected either Wonder what odds you would have got on Scotland voting Leave and England Remain ............

This will directly impact Gibraltar, but not other territories though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
