The 'I told you so' EU referendum - Officially the Worst Thread Ever

[Rugby Gooner]

The vote is descending into farce. They have "accidently" issued 1000's of polling cards to people who are NOT entitled to vote in the Referendum,(probably to the criminals who should have been deported at the end of their sentences but have now either disappeared into our communites , or to whom the European court of human rights decided were entitled to a "family life" unlike some of their victims!)

Back in the days when the EU (or predecessor) was an effective economic union between like-minded countries rather than a political juggernaut between a fragmented plethora of countries

[Chippy]

#Brexit would be the economic equivalent of leaving your job because you think you can get it back minus all the parts you don't like.

I can see it being rigged or held again until they get the result they want. This is likely the only time the British can vote on this important issue.

The EEC was a decent idea back in the day. What isn't decent its morphing into a federal EU superstate which is absorbing the Soviet bloc and engineering the mass movement of people inside Europe, let alone the non-European immigration. It's getting to the point that the Iron Curtain will be seen as a good thing. Which it certainly was not.

The derogatory 'EUSSR' tag isn't entirely unwarranted. How can there be enough homes, jobs, GPs and public services for all the extra people? We can't really cope now, how about in ten years? Thirty? Fifty? The EU is still an economic basket case with Greece, Italy and Spain's economies in the toilet (as is ours, pretty much).

I think Sainsbury's have an offer on tin foil if you need to make a new hat.

I agree with your first point Sean.
Ireland had a referendum in 2008, regarding the Lisbon treaty. They voted against. They then had another in 2009 and 'got it right'.

You got me worried Chippy , 20 years

If Xhaka does well for us, would you drop that number for Kosovans and Albanians your majesty?

I think Kosovo and Albania will join much quicker than Turkey as they have reasonable governments.

Chippy, it wont make any difference on me. I just flushed my Architectural career away by going back to another Firefighting Contract, with me being 40, I don't believe I will be able to start an EU career after 5 or 10 years.

As of these facts i don't give a flying f...k about EU, UK or anything up west anymore, my time to shine is gone. (I grew up isolated in war torn area, by never been given a chance to do better). All I can say to EU is: thank you (f...k you) for wasting our life.

Absolutely true. Democracy? My arse.

[Rugby Gooner]

The Fuckers have now extended the deadline to register to vote by 48 hours after implementing a media "panic" campaign to enrole, which surprisingly caused the website to crash.
These *word censored* actually think we are stupid!

[Chippy]

And so the conspiracy theories start. If Remain win there will be loads of bollocks stuff about how it was stolen. If Leave wins and the economy goes down the toilet, which it inevitably will do, then there will be another lot of conspiracies about (fill in your favourite hate figure(s)) punishing the English.

Time to buy shares in tin foil.

You need some more tin foil jokes Chippy

Re-opening it was the only feasible option to avoid endless threats of legal challenges and claims of scandal.

Although why so many morons waited until 11pm on the deadline day to register for the biggest vote they will ever be given is beyond me.

People are morons. Honestly. 90%+ are just morons.

In recruitment campaigns I've managed we'd accept applications for 3 weeks and set a clear closing date and a closing time of 12 Midnight on that date. Applications were online only. 3 weeks seems long enough to apply, right? Wrong, apparently. Honestly, about 75% of people leave it until the last day to apply and about 25% leave it until 11pm that night. They hit a technical difficulty and what can they do? Nothing. The morning after a comp closed you'd come into a couple hundred emails and dozens of panicked phone calls from spacktards that had their internet go down half way through applying.

The best ones were the ones that would say "but I've tried 25 times to apply over the last 3 weeks and the problem is with your system". They didn't know we had an online analysis tool that showed every single click they made on our website. I LOVED telling those lying cúnts that I could see they had actually only made one attempt to apply at (for EG) 11:35pm the night it closed. Fucking idiots. People are stupid.

Only about a quarter of the applications are new people. Three quarters are people already on the register but unsure.

[northbank123]

What do you mean Chippy? If they are already on the register why would they need to be applying - wouldn't they already have received a polling card?

Wtf seriously you rate your opinion far far to highly
