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.

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

We have TIDs already. Look at VAT numbers.

Ruth Davidson has exposed the lies spun by the Leavers

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

When will the fact checking bods kick in?!

Alea Tue 21-Jun-16 21:20:35

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 21:19:33

That was a whopper from Leadsom.

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

Bloody Hell!

WilmaKnickersfit Tue 21-Jun-16 21:18:07

Those 5 presidents don't legislate for us.

whitewave Tue 21-Jun-16 21:16:50

That is a disgraceful lie

Does Stuart not realise that the UK trades with many more countries outside the EU than any other country? The UK is the most globalised trading country in the EU.

Yes go girl!!

The commentators for Remain - Tin Farron, Sarah Woolaston, Justin Rose, Caroline Lucas and Hamza Yusef are all very impressive.

whitewave Tue 21-Jun-16 21:12:31

So far remain has it - a totally objective view you understand!

WilmaKnickersfit Tue 21-Jun-16 21:12:17

I wish Davidson was Labour.

Anniebach Tue 21-Jun-16 21:10:40

One hour in and we hear Brexit cannot say they will bring down the number of immigrants. Why have they banged on about it for months.

And taking money from the BNP , shame on Boris, Grove & Co.

the leave lot have not made one commitment , all pie in the sky

whitewave Tue 21-Jun-16 21:10:26

Davidson is a good debater

whitewave Tue 21-Jun-16 21:09:49

Sainsbury chap is very measured

Alea Tue 21-Jun-16 21:09:42

Good choice of speakers from my point of you. Boris smirking and scoring cheap points, Leadsom sounding patronising like a girls' grammar school headmistress up against Davidson with her sound common sense and not afraid to get to the heart of the matter in a very few words, Sadiq Khan and O'Grady also putting across the concerns of working people.

WilmaKnickersfit Tue 21-Jun-16 21:09:28

I didn't know Farage had apologised.

whitewave Tue 21-Jun-16 21:08:31

UKIP she is trying and failing to excuse the poster -

WilmaKnickersfit Tue 21-Jun-16 21:06:10

Go Caroline!
