Its also poor odds in a two horse race. It suggests the bookies, in a market where actually you'd expect they serve more people inclined to be wanting out, are still very convinced it'll be a "stay."

Gotta agree with Truss. Farage is just a right-wing Alex Salmond in this respect.

Throw in the threats as well such as banks threatening to pull out of the country and businesses as well. And here I was thinking we lived in a country devoid of threats to influence decisions. Silly me.

It's not a threat if the banks/businesses honestly have to consider leaving Scotland on independence. The lack of economic plan and failure to identify a clear currency solution as well as a clear path to membership of the EU would mean that it would have been negligent for certain business not to have a clear contingency plan.

In the main, you're alluding to the actions of companies who are registered on the stock exchange and there are very clear and stringent rules on how they communicate with their shareholders and with the public at large. They can't just make idle threats about key aspects of their business just to exert some political pressure.

I was talking about the banks threats in the here and now in general. I take it then that the banks have no faith in Britain as a whole then if they are threatening to pull out? Do they have the same lack of faith they have in the UK as they had in Scotland then?

You'd have to aske them but we're really looking at two different scenarios.

An independent Scotland would have meant that large financial services organisations would have been based in a country that had become separate from the country in which the majority of its customers resided and with no clear idea on what the currency would be or even if there would be a central bank.

2008-10 is what scared the sh*t out of the Banks w.r.t. Scottish independence.

The major f-ups were Scottish banks (RBS and HBOS [as part of LBG]) and it was the UK goverment that had to come in and support them/bail them out so that they wouldn't collapse.

If Scotland had been independent at that point the major fear is that a Scottish government/central Bank wouldn't have had the power or financial strength to do the same.

Hence they talked about having to move HQs and domiciled status south of the border (at the cost of thousands of Scottish jobs).

I don't think any questions need be asked though. It is a clear lack of confidence in the UK outside the EU.

I don't think there's a lack of confidence, or any evidence of it, businesses are just faced by standard old cost/benefit analysis - is it more or less costly to be out versus in.

The EU vote is quite simple. Do you want Britain to be a sovereign nation? It should be an affront to every patriot that laws for us are made in the EU.

Cameron is the self proclaimed 'heir to blair'. Absolutely risible today saying mass immigration is bad. He's had 5 years ffs and it's even higher than it was under Labour. All he wants from the EU is benefit curbs, which simply plays on ignorant ideas about migrants on benefits. Actually most EU migrants do work, the problem is they depress wages, as well as social cohesion.
Also, bigger problem is third world immigration, which has been airbrushed from the conversation because it's racist. They do have a problem with unemployment, and much worse problems. How much more civilised this country would be if we hadn't embarked on mass immigration, completely without the people's consent I might add.

Indeed it is about all of those things.

There are around 900,000 NEETs in this country (young people, 16-24, not in education, employment or training) - resultant largely because of the irresponsible open borders within the European Union. Further to that, skilled migrants (such as doctors or teachers) from outside the EU are actually being turned away in order to accommodate mostly unskilled migrants within the EU - a very poor state of affairs.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-33101336

The UK's economy is greatly hindered by being in the European Union. Not only does our country have to give an inordinate sum for a membership fee, but it also lacks the ability to conduct its own trade deals - both things are greatly harmful to our economy.

NEET incidence is even greater on the continent though, so not sure that supports your point.

In short, we'd be fooked without immigration.

Yes, immigration is a benefit to our economy, and country as a whole, and that is why we to need follow UKIP's policy on immigration which will allow us to maximise and harness those benefits. As opposed to the present, mostly uncontrolled system we have, which means our country is turning away skilled migrants in favour of unskilled ones.

The only way we can do this, of course, is by leaving the European Union.

There are 895,000 Eastern Europeans working in the UK, mostly unskilled. It is estimated that 5.56% of the UK workforce are comprised of EU migrants.

Are these not jobs that a good quantity of our 900,000 NEETs could be doing?

And? A lot of them do a bloody good job. They also pay tax and spend some/all of their earnings, therefore they are contributing to the economy on a national and local level.

Or should they all be banned so we can go back to bent chavs ripping off old grannies (and anyone else they can convince) with over-priced shoddy work??

The Pole that did my new boiler and bathroom was utterly brilliant, better than any Brit contractor I've worked with, and the guy that just did my mate's amazing loft conversion/extension was EE and again did a great job at fair cost.

All this BS about EE's annoys me when we've a country full of lazy feckless job-shy 'British' bums that wouldn't be doing the jobs EE's are doing anyway.

And? And this country has an over-saturated unskilled labour market which is compressing wages. Having further uncontrolled immigration from EU nation states will only exacerbate this problem, not to mention the further pressures that result on housing, the health service and school places.

Lazy discrimination against British folk won't alter that.

I imagine Toppy had it done on the cheap....They tend to find ways of undercutting British contractors..

Wouldn't have a Pole working on my house I've heard too many horror stories !!.....Though some of the work cleaners have been polish and they are good sorts..

Don't like this feckless job shy British bums crap either.....Ignorant Tory bollox........

UK registered and tax paying company with all the relevant certs in places doing work in line with building regs. So stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

Also, you're the one guilty of (quasi-racist bigoted) generalisations if anything. Had to get plumbling quotes for something recently. Rates quoted between £85 and £115 per hour for Labour (mix Brits & nons). Ended up finding a local guy at £60 per hour.

Their are rip offs all over the place, competition is a positive thing in a well running market (though I'd expect an ignorant comment back from you akin to markets & competition being more 'ignorant Tory bollox').

I agree.

In my line of work (on-train catering) I saw lots of Poles and Brits try their hand at the job and guess what? The Poles were the ones who, to a greater degree, stuck at it and many have gone on to earn promotion to jobs such as conductors, dispatch, drivers and ticket examiners. A greater degree of Brits either walked after weeks or bad attitude of lack of appetite for work saw a fair few walk or be sacked.

Well the pattern was there and the time I speak of was spread over about ten years. I worked closely with them and the British opinion was they were above that kind of labour and many walked whilst Poles and other nationalities could stick it out and gain promotion. Sure it is only in one area but my observations are one accounting for around 100 staff members spread over 10 years.

It's only partially true I think. It's an inevitable side effect of gentrification. Plus a typically arrogant mindset foisted onto the kids by putting down manual labour or other low skilled jobs in an effort to motivate them onto bigger things. Blairs effort to get everyone into to university is going to be damaging for years to come. This probably did more to drive down middle class wages than any immigration ever could. The low skilled labour market isn't populated by brits for a reason and if it does in the next few years then you'll see more resentment borne from the psychological scars coming from what equates to failure according to the parents of some of them. Big problems to which neither side is offering any solution.

Best thing to do is offer genuine apprenticeships. Not these cop outs to fiddle with the the unemployment figures. But proper apprenticeships with carpenters engineers and other things where the progress is visible and measurable to rebuild confidence in a stressed and underpaid work force.

The in campaign is very strange- an unlikely alliance of big business and the far left. Big business who want cheap labour, and the far left who hate the idea of borders.

Rare to get a genuine socialist nowadays that recognises the ills of mass immigration. All the unions have been taken over by politically correct droids.

Having further uncontrolled immigration from EU nation states will only exacerbate this problem, not to mention the further pressures that result on housing, the health service and school places.

Lazy discrimination against British folk won't alter that.

It isn't discrimination if some people would rather sit on their backsides and not work! What we're over-saturated in is BUMS!!

I agree.

In my line of work (on-train catering) I saw lots of Poles and Brits try their hand at the job and guess what? The Poles were the ones who, to a greater degree, stuck at it and many have gone on to earn promotion to jobs such as conductors, dispatch, drivers and ticket examiners. A greater degree of Brits either walked after weeks or bad attitude of lack of appetite for work saw a fair few walk or be sacked.

No matter how many stories like this there are, certain sectors of society will always refuse to acknowledge it.

Given they were employed by train companies, all those folk will have also be taxed at the full rate applicable, paying more tax upon promotion.

Don't see what's not to like/respect about all that. Brits just have a natural tendency to blame others before they blame themselves.....

Plus a typically arrogant mindset foisted onto the kids by putting down manual labour or other low skilled jobs in an effort to motivate them onto bigger things. Blairs effort to get everyone into to university is going to be damaging for years to come. This probably did more to drive down middle class wages than any immigration ever could. The low skilled labour market isn't populated by brits for a reason and if it does in the next few years then you'll see more resentment borne from the psychological scars coming from what equates to failure according to the parents of some of them.  Big problems to which neither side is offering any solution.

Best thing to do is offer genuine apprenticeships. Not these cop outs to fiddle with the the unemployment figures. But proper apprenticeships with carpenters engineers and other things where the progress is visible and measurable to rebuild confidence in a stressed and underpaid work force.

100% agree.

"Yesterday there were two EU referendum polls showing the race essentially neck-and-neck. Today there are two more EU referendum polls, but both of these have REMAIN with a solid looking twenty-plus point lead. ComRes for OpenEurope have topline EU voting intention figures of REMAIN 56%, LEAVE 35% (tabs are here). Ipsos MORI for the Standard have topline figures of REMAIN 58%, LEAVE 32% (full tabs are here)"

Not at all, my darling, I am hugely optimistic about the prospect of this country regaining so much that it has lost over the last few decades.

The 'in' side have already peaked. There will be no chance of taking back parliamentary sovereignty, no chance of regaining the supremacy of our legal system, no chance of restoring control of our fishing waters and, most crucially of all, no chance of controlling our borders. Will the majority really wish to remain with such a union?

Most hurtfully of all this year, we have had to witness our democratically-elected Prime Minister go grovelling to his un-elected master, just so he may attempt to get a 'fair deal' for his native land.

What feeble-minded 'democracy' this is. What a feeble-minded 'leader' we have.

The 'in' side may spend more, may be favoured by the media, and may unleash more propaganda, but England will once again be England, an everlasting animal stretching into the future and the past.

It was always ever thus. And the tyranny of the European Union shall be defeated. Britannia always triumphs over tyranny.

Oh alright, the United Kingdom will once again be the United Kingdom.

I blame George Orwell for this slight mishap.
