How many are there?

Cameron's comment about the Nigerian and Afghan governments being 'fantastically corrupt' could be interpreted as admiration.

It is a dilemma. the reasons I'd vote to stay in have more to do with my conscience because of some important EU safeguards and slightly more distruct for Johnson, Gove and Farage than Cameron and Osborne, plus the Lib Dems and Blairites. so it's the lesser of 2 evils. Cameron wants TTIP anyway,  so it just amounts to whether they bleed the country dry as part of a trading block or as a ...

I'm serious I don't think the Royal family really cares what happens to the vast majority of the population, my sarcasm reflects this. It does not mean that I don't take this referundum seriously, although I don't particularly think abstaining will make much difference in the longer term. We're witnessing the demise of the EU, France one of the two core EU nations is likely to have a ...

Appantly it would take 2 years plus to actually leave the EU and like the Scottish Independence referendum our government is unlikely to have prepared for this outcome.

That's patronising though not as much as your last post and avoids acknowledging my objection to your lousy attitude. Hardly befitting of a councillor. I'm done discussing the referendum with you. Why the hell would I give a rich celebrity with a knighthood the final say!

Excuse me? I thought your Lib Dem colleague was the one without any people skills. Just goes to show how out of touch our elected representatives are with the public. Proves my point.

@Gary Taylor , of course you don't subscribe to it you're a lib dem councillor. but you did begin this thread and fair play to you for being the only local representative on here from what i see who is prepared to communicate with voters. I was simply expressing an opinion about why the IN campaign cannot connect emotionally with voters, referencing the I article you referred to about Bob ...
