Congrats to everyone who supported REMAIN and well done to all in the LEAVE camp, I've enjoyed the debate here, personally I've learned a lot!

Farage declares himself defeated.

GBP/USD fx rate looks pretty good, let's hope by this time tomorrow will be close to 1.7

Are you really quoting breitbart? :lol: Next you going to quote beeg.com?

HAHA! We can behave, Col, as Britain is going to stay in, so no drama, right? Is the forum providing any sort of consolation for the other side?

Oh I dunno. Defeating the Spanish and French, building two Empires, one of which was the greatest in human history. Giving the world democracy, civilisation, global trade, and the rule of Law. Removing feudalism in place of the Parliamentary democracy and giving the common man Rights via the Bill of Rights and the Magna Carta. Freeing Europe from German domination..twice. Developing Universal healthcare, the welfare state. Inventing 56% of everything that has ever been invented and gifting it to the world. I'm pretty sure we can manage without the EU Not with weather!

Happy to help, sir! Don't tell anyone how much I got them for you, they will kill you to have them P.S. Don't forget to vote IN tomorrow as promised

See you on the other side! Well, on the same side!

I'm going to vote remain because I don't want EU to cut half of the Eurotunnel and move it to Turkey

One from my Romanian friend, the CEO and Chairman of Canary Wharf Group: "One of these days, some time soon, my friend Boris Johnson will wake up and say to himself: “What have I done to this country? How have I helped to create a society split from top to bottom? How did I end up sharing a platform with Nigel Farage and the far right, with the allies of Marine Le Pen, Britain First and Donald Trump?†More profoundly, he might ask: “What would my hero Sir Winston Churchill say if he could see me now?â€" http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/immigration-rhetoric-poses-huge-threat-to-britains-stability-b2qz9kzc7

See the University teachers letter I've posted earlier today.

"I am a migrant from the European Union. You have probably heard lots of things about people like me in the referendum campaign, but you may not have actually heard from any of us. We have got more to lose than anyone else – our livelihoods depend on the outcome – but we do not have a voice, or a vote. I came to live in the UK in 1998, to study for a PhD. Before that, in 1993-94, I had been an exchange student here, partly funded by the EU’s Erasmus programme. It was on that occasion that I got to know and love Britain as an open-minded and welcoming country. My landlady was one of the kindest and warmest people I have ever met. My fellow students later came to visit me at my (then) home in Berlin, and I’m still friends with many of them. I returned to Britain as soon I could. After finishing my PhD, I embarked on a post-doc and then moved to another university, where I worked for eight years, before taking up my current post. I have profited from the openness of UK academia and the mobility offered by EU membership. I have very rarely encountered prejudice or discrimination, and have been able to thrive as a result. My laboratory would fall apart if Britain left the EU Give and take But, as in any good partnership, I have given a lot back. I have worked hard to educate thousands of students over the years. I have undertaken research and written books and articles. I have worked as a head of department and an external examiner, and taken on countless administrative roles at my own institutions and in other bodies. There are thousands of people like me at British universities – one study puts the figure at 15 per cent – and the country has undoubtedly benefited from the international nature of this workforce. To compete internationally, the UK’s universities have to be able to attract the best talent, wherever it is found. Success in the international rankings relies on their ability to do just that. If the UK votes to leave, it will become less attractive not only for EU nationals, but for the brightest and best across the world. Several US-born colleagues, for example, have told me that one of the reasons they settled in the UK was because indefinite leave to remain here gave them access to the EU. But the signs are ominous. The referendum campaign has created an atmosphere of hostility towards immigrants, in ways I have never experienced in my 18 years in this country. We are being blamed for the state of public services such as health, housing and education, and for undercutting wages, even though the real culprits – chronic underinvestment, poor planning, ineffective governance and watered-down labour laws – are entirely homemade. The tales of intimidation and threats against pro-Remain campaigners, immigrants and their supporters are a cause for serious concern. There is no doubt that many Leave proponents are decent, thoughtful people, but there is also no doubt that parts of the campaign have played on xenophobia and emboldened nasty, violent racists."

<--- start from 2.38 onwards if you don't have time to watch everything

You get to vote for MEPs. More about the Brussel bureaucrats here: https://fullfact.org/europe/eu-facts-behind-claims-brussels-bureaucrats/ More about the democracy within EU: https://fullfact.org/europe/eu-facts-behind-claims-democracy/ Did you include Kosovo, Taiwan, Western Sahara, Greeland and Palestine as well? Otherwise 194 to be precise Rules and regulations are good, just like on this forum. I got banned once, you know... I didn't agree with the ban from the bloody forum bureaucrats, but if I want to stay here and benefit from the wonderful community and friends here, I need to adhere to the rules. Quite fair, isn't it? More here: https://fullfact.org/europe/eu-facts-behind-claims-regulation-and-single-market/ and here: https://fullfact.org/europe/eu-facts-behind-claims-trade-rules/ We can still trade with countries outside the EU through EU deals. It's good not to have the EU market flooded with "cheap Chinese knockoffs and replicas" isn't it?

Meanwhile in Wales :lol:

Correct, that's a small part of the problem, but have you actually clicked the links I've posted there that explain clearly what drives the housing prices up? You'll be surprised, is not the EU immigration...

"To British voters, As Vice-Chancellors of 103 universities, we are gravely concerned about the impact of a UK exit from the EU on our universities and students. The impact of our universities on our local communities and economy should not be underestimated. Every year, universities generate over £73 billion for the UK economy – £3.7bn of which is generated by students from EU countries, while supporting nearly 380,000 jobs. Strong universities benefit the British people - creating employable graduates and cutting-edge research discoveries that improve lives. Our membership of the EU enhances this positive impact and makes our outstanding universities even stronger. Inside the EU, we are better able to work collaboratively on ground-breaking research in areas from cancer to climate change. EU membership supports British universities to attract the brightest and best minds from across Europe, enhancing university research and teaching and contributing to economic growth. Voluntarily cutting ourselves out of the world’s largest economic bloc would undermine our position as a global leader in science and innovation, impoverish our campuses and limit opportunities for British people. We believe that leaving Europe would create a difficult environment for the long-term investment in higher education and research that is necessary for the UK to maintain its position as a highly skilled and a globally competitive knowledge economy. For us it is crystal clear that our outstanding universities – and our students – are stronger in Europe." http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/eu-referendum-an-open-letter-to-uk-voters-from-leaders-of-96-british-universities-a7092511.html

So the immigrants from poorer EU countries are coming here and buy houses, so huge demand drives prices up? I thought they were being paid lower wages, driving the wages down, how the hell they can afford to buy houses?

Brexit could leave UK struggling to match access to Asia - Malay Mail Online “The UK will be in a very weak bargaining position because everyone will know it is desperate to negotiate new agreements,†said Mark Melatos, who focuses on international trade theory as an associate professor at Sydney University. “All potential trading partners will take advantage of that weakness.†The UK holds the referendum tomorrow and the result is too close to call, according to opinion polls. Companies from Standard Chartered Plc to Jaguar Land Rover, which are already benefiting from EU-negotiated trade deals in Asia, may have to prepare for new arrangements. Right now, the UK needs Asia more than Asia needs it: The region took 16.3 per cent of British exports last year, according to the Office for National Statistics. But the UK doesn’t rank in the top 10 in two-way trade with any major Asian nation. China, which bought road vehicles, pharmaceuticals and power-generating machinery, was the UK’s sixth-largest export destination, representing 4.5 per cent. The country was the source of 9.2 per cent of British imports. President Xi Jinping told Prime Minister David Cameron during a state visit to London in October that China “hopes Britain, as an important member of the EU, can play an even more positive and constructive role in promoting the deepening development of China-EU ties.†Those special ties may not endure after a Brexit. “In one scenario, Britain’s economic dependence on China grows and it gives China more preferential terms in trade negotiations,†said Zhang Xiaojin, director of the department of political science at Tsinghua University. British access to international markets is now governed according to World Trade Organization preferential access arrangements negotiated on its behalf by the EU, unless the EU has another agreement in place. https://apple.news/Aio4BeKx3NQqazYhrzHVnCg
