Nah, keep shrinking them for the sake of every ones health.

don't forget to keep increasing the price too, the people'll love that.

Ahahahahaha

I really hope so. We need Freedom of Movement for one thing, it's one of the main reasons our economy has been so strong.

But it lets all the Muslims in!

Edit: Updated the topic title BTW, as we've moved on a bit since the EU referendum now.

In an interview yesterday, Amber Rudd tried to deny it was a threat, then said it is something they could do legally. So it probably will be used. Dumb move for the reasons you say.

I didn’t watch the video as he makes my skin crawl, but I saw a video pop up on Facebook of Farage’s LBC show with a title of “Farage asks, what would it take to make you support Brexit?”.

Well Nigel, I would want freedom of movement as an absolute minimum. So I guess that means we will never agree and I will never support Brexit.

It really is depressing that that bitch is my MP.

Subtlety is not her strong point. The WhatsApp interview after the bridge attack last week shows what an absolute cretin she is.

Question Time panel tonight:

Why's Paul Nuttem dressed like a farmer or a guy who lives in the countryside.

Because he is Paul Nuttalls of the UKIPs and he has probably been involved in a lot of farming accidents and wants to show support to the billions of dead farmers that he personally knew.

Wow the BBC were pretty selective with their pictures there!

In what way? Nuttalls and McCluskey are pretty much in identical poses (other than the stupid hat).

First 4 all taken in the middle of speaking. Presumably Nuttall's is from when he first announced decades ago that he had discovered penicillin.

Whilst Kate Andrews photo is a selfie with eyes that look like you're staring into the abyss.

There are presumably less photos of Kate Andrews available than the others.

That's just Project Fear.

While I was a remain voter and continue to think leaving is a terrible idea the way the EU is acting about a member leaving is pretty disgusting. While I realise they have to try and get a worse deal for any country that leaves the level of anger and vindictiveness they are going for seems childish. There seems to be no attempt to just get this done in a sensible manner that benefits everyone.

Maybe I'm being naive in thinking that actions like this with global implications could be done with just the result in mind that neither Europeans living here or UK citizens living in the EU are screwed and that both parties can trade (Yes, ok with new rules I know we can't have the total freedom that EU membership brings) goods as it's mutually beneficial.

The demand that we can't start trade talks with anyone else until we finish this process is also bloody stupid as surely any nation would seek to get good trade deals and the demand just seems pointlessly harsh. They're harming our ability to get trade deals done with other regions just because they can.

While you are in the 2 years you are still part of the EU and still subject to rules, also the EU has rules about the ethical and socia aspects of how stuff is made, if you could make deals you could flood the EU with stuff made unethically this impacting the economy.
