Are you watching The Great Debate on BBC1?
I can't imagine that people will change their minds at this late stage. Those who are undecided might find this debate useful.
However, the government have a lot to answer for by putting us in this position, we should not be having this referendum IMO.

Bloody Hell!

Andrea Leadsum starts every answer by saying "the truth is" - then she tells a pack of lies with a sickly smirk on her face

WilmaKnickersfit Tue 21-Jun-16 21:19:33

That was a whopper from Leadsom.

O'Grady is good!
Boris is such a hypocrite -a turncoat he was all in favour of the EU until he saw an opportunity to advance his career.

WilmaKnickersfit Tue 21-Jun-16 21:21:10

When will the fact checking bods kick in?!

Ruth Davidson has exposed the lies spun by the Leavers

whitewave Tue 21-Jun-16 21:23:16

We have TIDs already. Look at VAT numbers.

WilmaKnickersfit Tue 21-Jun-16 21:23:31

Cameron will not be PM when any veto could be relevant because he'll be an old man.

I have made a point of not watching it as I suspected that it would just be a rerun of all that has gone before only on a grander scale. It sounds as though I am not missing anything!

Alea Tue 21-Jun-16 21:24:32

Go Ruth Davidson!! It's not like me to clap someone on TV!
Project Fear seems to be the name of the game with the Leave campaign, hinting at secret plans which will not be released until after Thursday. Well answered too, Sadiq Khan. A formidable team.

Not a single shot has been fired between the armies in the EU.

WilmaKnickersfit Tue 21-Jun-16 21:26:30

Alea I scared the wits out of my husband by clapping and saying (loudly) you go girl!

whitewave Tue 21-Jun-16 21:26:46

Let's be clear about this grrrrr. Shades of Patel

Alea Tue 21-Jun-16 21:27:20

If David Cameron goes down, can we have Ruth Davidson for Prine Minister instead?

whitewave Tue 21-Jun-16 21:28:03

Thought Leave didn't listen to experts?

Oh of course we have the USA to thank. Well she doesn't know her history for sure.

Frances O'Grady has made the important point about the hard won peace in Northern Ireland which woukd be endangered by Brexit

Anniebach Tue 21-Jun-16 21:32:21

The USA has kept peace in Europe? They have been too busy fighting wars in other parts of the world

whitewave Tue 21-Jun-16 21:33:18

Ruth Davidson is outstanding!!! I'm not turning Tory though!!!!

WilmaKnickersfit Tue 21-Jun-16 21:33:43

That wasn't the question Andrea???

WilmaKnickersfit Tue 21-Jun-16 21:38:17

The UKIP woman doesn't come over well and I wish a more likeable person had been chosen.

Nana3 Tue 21-Jun-16 21:53:08

The 'fact checkers' have surely persuaded the fence sitters now.

Tegan Tue 21-Jun-16 21:57:12

So why did Boris Johnson get such a loud cheer sad? All I hear are the same words over and over again...the main one being 'control'. Ruth Davidson truly is amazing; we were cheering her.

Tegan Tue 21-Jun-16 21:59:15

Is Andrea Leadsom the one who started everything with 'as a mum'?

whitewave Tue 21-Jun-16 22:12:26

No that was Giselda Stuart. Didmt think much of her

Tegan Tue 21-Jun-16 22:13:38

It was the one next to Gisela Stuart...
