(Yes of course I'm sorry)
Bemused and dismayed I told her it had gone to penalties and left her to think about her actions.
Just heard from a close source that apparently you risk having your "X" expunged by person/persons u/k if you using a pencil!! Persons seen with rubbers should be regarded a vote changers. Dont know which side is allegedly purpertrating this fix, but they would have either be standing to you or having a hole in the ballott box!
And these are the people who are trusted to vote ;doh
I consider myself to be fairly level headed but I must admit when I put my X I pressed down hard with the pencil and then went over it again for good measure...
;hmm
They'll just have pre-filled, rigged result ballot boxes and use those for the count ;ok ;wink
oops, why is there a stealth helicopter hovering over the house with guys in black rapelling d6ugi k9x.,;[i7l
aargh
It is such a manual process involving crossings off on sheets of paper when you get in, and then your ballot sheet will be handled no doubt by numerous folk who will have a strong view one way or another...
;hmm
It's an absolute no-brainer for me because I live & work in Madrid.Sure,there is a hell of a lot wrong with the EU but we are better in than out.If we remain we need to bring all the members states to the table & re-negociate the treaty.You can't have Belgian boats fishing off the Cornish coast & local fishing villages dying because of it.I'm sure there are examples too of the shoe being on the other foot & British companies push out local workers.
The EU has managed to stop our respective countries fighting bitter wars with each other & has generally been a positive thing for Europe.We would be isolated & at the back of the queue when it comes to trade & unlike Norway where there is lots of natural resources & a small population we would struggle to support ourselves.The pound would probably be devalued & we would be worse off as a nation.
"The need to renegotiate the treaty"?? With so many parties at the table with their own vested interests this is a tough/impossible thing to do - and even if it is claimed to have been done, some greater power would have the power to overrule and/or change it anyway
Also I don't believe the EU has stopped countries being at war with each other
Additionally, I personally would rather live in country with a smaller economy but existing more within its means and less people reliant on its social structure - if I wanted a big powerhouse economy that is growing I could choose China - would I want to live there? Probably not.
And there is no evidence whatsoever that we'd be at the "back of the queue" for trade deals - to be honest I've been worn down by the various remain spokespeople trotting out this line endlessly in the media...
We need to bring all the member states to the table and renegotiate the treaty - best of luck with that!
Stopped fighting bitter wars - think you will find that was NATO.
My main concern is the well being of the UK & I believe our interest is in & not out.I didn't put this in before but seeing one or two others have mentioned it the thought of Johnson as PM terrifies me & the thought of Farage having any influence at all over how the country is run would make me want to move to the Antarctic to get away!!!!
Anyway,a difference of opinion but that's the great thing about our democracy.Let's hope that this whole issue gets put to bed tonight but I have a funny feeling it won't whoever wins.
I almost guarantee you some WHU fans have voted #Remain (or should that be #Romaine) because they think Dimitri Payet won't be able to play for us come August
;biggrin
Think your right about this not being 'the end of it' - in my view 'the genie is well and truly out of the bottle'.

As I scrolled down the pictures, my first thought was that it appeared really scarey as to who are involved from all angles in being leaders in the UK.
Really, really scarey
You are both right - the Scotland vote was supposed to put that issue to bed once and for all....
;hmm
;lol
