Leaving... to go to St Agatha's. Seems there's been a shortage of rosette wearing Brexit 'meeters and greeters' at the polling stations, so she's now doubled up.

Buried the hatchet with Ann-Marie Morris at the Manor House this lunchtime. Even then, she still had no answer as to where the cuts would fall to support the NHS upon Brexit. But she did hint that the 'best man' to win the referendum (and take control of No10) could be a woman. Ruth Davidson: 5/1; Theresa May: 10/1; AMM: odds anyone?

Ruth Davidson tells Boris Johnson he's peddling lies over EU referendum “You’re being asked to make a decision on Friday that’s irreversible, you can’t change it, and you’re being sold it on a lie,” “They lied about the costs of Europe, they lied about Turkey. They lied about the European Army. We have a veto on all those things. They’ve put them in their leaflets and it’s Not. Good. ...

Margaret, sorry, but you will need to go and read the Pirdah rule book again. My response of 7.44 was aimed at you because you support Burneside and Fred in their 'good work'. Enough said.

Margaret, as I have explained previously, I write on here in a private capacity. My letter to the Gazette (which has been repeated in today's edition) explains this also. The point I make about the possible disintegration of Europe is that if we were to quit the EU, it would act as a catayst for others to do likewise. Acting unilaterally to leave would not only put us in a very poor ...

You've missed the mark once again, Burneside. You and Fred have effectively allied yourself to the nationalist cause by calling others traitors. I love my country (and the symbolism that our flag holds) every bit as the next man or woman and will be proud to join others in voting tomorrow to remain in the European Union. Barring accidents, I would expect to be in the queue, peacefully ...

An on the subject of nationalist fervour... while the Freds and the Burnesides of this country may wrap themselves up in the Union Jack and proclaim others as 'traitors', the truth is that every one of us who holds Great Britain's strengths, values and traditions dear can also proudy look to the flag. We have been an integral and much valued part of Europe for over 40 years - and while ...

Margaret, I largely agree with your words "We have a failing health service and an ageing population with no social care structure in place, a decrepit transport system and far too many people homeless or living in poverty" and that these problems should be addressed. You also talk about retaining the money that goes to the EU every week as being a solution for these ills. You ...

Have you done a SWOT analysis, Margaret? Looks on the dark side to me...
