// How many remember the UK and how it prospered pre EU? //
um no I dont actually
I don remember devaluation - 1967 - and the chancellor sunny jim [ crisis what crisis ? ] callaghan saying the pound in your pocket of course isnt devalued - to everlasting ridicule
stagflation - word has been revived this year - and for readers who reflexly ask " stag-what-shun ? " stagflation describes an economic situation not of blooming, and rising wages but instead - stagnation and inflation.
and inflation of 30% - recollect that the highest inflation was experienced during Thatcher's first administration (1979)
Oh, "in place of strife" - and Boobs Castle's humiliating climb down over the unions 1973 ( " Boobz Hoostle ? " I hear murmurs in the back ground )
Miners strike for political reasons -
no I dont look on the seventies as a Golden Age for a variety of reasons...
and certainly not of 'boom years'
Fifties and Harold MacMillan - you've never had it so good ! 1959
yeah possibly but it was marred by .... oh that is it .... an unsuccessful application to join the EU that Gen de gaulle * bless! * vetoed.

Tambo:"Why do we bother voting a leading gov if EU hold control over us? " - you may well ask, at the moment we are allowed some autonomy in day to day issues but going forward that will be eroded to the point where the government will be irrelevant.Especially as we will be punished for having a referendum. That is the aim of the treacherous ABC, essentially they want to abolish Britain by subjugation. Shame many cannot see it.
TTT.
I am firmly in the leave camp, and have as much knowledge as everyone else does regarding the referendum. And despite always knowing which way to vote, I still like to see what other people base their opinions on.
So, yes, I thought the sound and length of the applause was greater for the remain side, but in my post at 6.38 I also gave other reasons why I am even more certain it will be a vote for stay, which basically amount to the young audience members not having much knowledge (holidays etc being affected) and petty reasons like mobile phone roaming prices.
You do many posts on the subject, but like everyone else, your opinions are based on conjecture, as nobody will know the full extent until it happens, so the stayers are more likely to agree with Cameron and the leavers with Johnson.
And, yes, I believe a stay vote means “going to hell in a hand cart”, but as I’m not a stayer, it won’t be because of people like me.
Try reading things properly before you comment!

I agree with you, TTT.
I just wasn’t keen on the bit where you suggested I based ALL my knowledge on a clapometer, and that I am “what the politicians love.”
Quite the opposite actually. I’m sure the politicians would hate me , as I’m not taken in by all their sloblock!
I’d certainly rather vote based on my own conjecture than David Cameron’s!
Did you watch the programme?

/// Former SNP leader Alex Salmond has said he would expect another referendum on Scottish independence within two years of a Brexit vote, in a BBC EU debate. ///
That surely has to be a double whammy for Brexit supporters, come out of the EU and perhaps in two years time, we may also get rid of Scotland.

"i’m sorry to say that it’s made me even more certain that it will be a vote to stay.
The panel and audience members who spoke for staying in, got longer and louder applause than the leavers."
Seems clear to me you link your comment to the loudness of the applause and say that is what has "made me even more certain" - how can anyone tell beyond that sentence that it was something other than the enthusiasm of the audience? Hence my clapometer comment. I cannot know what you are thinking in total, it is down to you to get that across.
