I'm absobloodylutely sick of it!

Bump

If they shoot you, phoenix, I'm standing right beside you. I too am sick, sore and weary of all the lies and the rhetoric. And as for the number of threads that have been started on GN about the referendum . I tried counting them, and I'm afraid I lost the will to live somewhere around the 13 or 14 mark.
Roll on Friday.

I also have had enough and this is not the first time I have said it. It has shown the true colours of some politicians- Boris being one of them. He is a total buffoon and the thought of him ever being Conservative leader makes me want to emigrate.

grannylyn Should I take that as a sign that you agree with my post, if so, thank you!

I feel the same, phoenix. DH has had his mind made up from the start but I've been reading, watching, listening and considering for what seems like forever.

I've come to the conclusion that I don't think I care either way.

I have voted by post already phoenix but I would never spoil my vote- I do not see the pint of that.

I think Tim Harford also did a series of 5 programmes at 1.45 (?) Mon - Friday last week literally unpicking the figures being bandied around in this campaign, starting with the £350 billion. He's very sound.

yes phoenix 100%

#rollonfriday
Except I have a funeral to go to.

So I should really say roll on saturday[meeting I dont want to go to] and sunday[garden party type event that I shall have to go to[might be ok?]]

I was just thinking tonight that though it pains me to admit there's anything good about this endless drivel football, at least it's giving us shortened news programs. We were on the point of switching off the news to escape it all. DH is up in arms and doesn't even have a vote, him being a real foreigner European!

Bad news is that whichever way the vote goes we'll never hear the end of it ... the Scottish referendum refuses to die.

Charleygirl in elections I have (on occasions) been known to write "none of the above" on the bottom of my ballot paper, rather than just pick the best of a bad lot! Most recently for the police thing elections, when not ONE of the candidates had bothered to tell the electorate a damn single thing about themselves or their policies, to the extent that we didn't even know who the candidates were, I still went to the polling station because (cliché alert) women died in order to make sure that others were able to vote.

I appreciate that this is a referendum, not an election, and I will cast a proper vote.

Alea I'm pretty certain that he is the chap who presents the "More or Less" programme to which I referred? If so, then yes,very sound when it comes to accuracy with the old number malarkey!

I was pretty cross about an "official" pamphlet that was delivered yesterday that said "FACT, we send (whatever amount) each week to Europe, enough to build a new hospital"

This was one of the statistics looked into in last week's programme.

Please don't take this as an indication of which way I will vote, just bloody cross at the way the damn thing was presented grrr!

Fingers in ears and lalalalalalalalalalalalalal!!

Meaning what, Tanith ?

He is and does phoenix.

phoenix; the following page also had a list of the companies that were 'supporting' brexit; several of which are now going to sue them for lying.

Tegan sorry if I'm being thick, but what following page?

It's quite exciting. (Doesn't take much to liven up my sad little life )

Here, here !!
I'm also sick of all the threads on the topic on GN. Yes, I know I don't have to read them and I haven't but the 'active' page is full of them.
I will be voting.

Must have been a different pamphlet to mine phoenix

Probably the first time I won't be voting. I apologise to the suffragettes but I have been too ill recently to take on what has been being said. My son will be voting, for the first time ever so at least I have not passed on my lethargy. And, even though I don't see my ED, she will be voting too, a very opinionated young woman.

DH and I had a bloody great row last night - the intensity with which he immerses himself in all this media debating is driving me to distraction. A man who usually has an even handed, calm and sunny disposition has become a bad tempered, raving, blinkered lunatic who does nothing but shout at the television. I am so sick of the whole thing that I refuse to discuss any of it with him so he accused me of not caring about the country's future, I gave him a piece of my mind and slept in the spare room. Please God, deliver us from this madness. And then there's the football! Don't get me started......!

I would like to say that it will be all over on friday, but if the last election was anything to go by, on here and elsewhere, the talk didnt really die down for another two weeks after that.

If it wasn't so hot, our garden would be a picture of tidiness, because I would be out there working whilst all this talk, talk, talk, is going on and the football............... Of course it is an important issue (not the football), but really the amount of time given over to it on t.v. has become ludicrous. We do not need to hear the same song sung to a different tune every day.
