I'm absobloodylutely sick of it!

Friday will say more about me as a person than the result of a vote.

Bring it in !

Annodomini, it will only just begin after the result. Then the real bickering will start, but hopefully just among the politicians. At least with the referendum we actually had an 'end' date. The encore will run and run and run and run...............

Having posted my vote to remain a fortnight ago, I've largely been keeping out of the debate. It will be a relief when it's all over......or will it?

Over the years, I have drifted in and out of GN to read what people my age group are up to from the world over it seems and, occasionally, post comments myself. (I must check to see if countries other than UK have a GN community.) Not lost the plot just yet! Well said to all posters here. I, too, channel hop - as you may well note. Radio 4 at 9am this morning. An interesting discussion from those who actually work in the European Parliament. German and French citizens are rising towards OUT and calling it their own Brexit. Jean Claude Juncker - the Luxembourgian EU President - stated last week that the EU law of governance over 28 bloc countries does not work and needs to reform at the very least. Even with Brexit, it will take at least 5 or 6 years and possibly more to extricate from EU law.

Can't be bothered to listen to all the rubbish that's been talked by our politicians. Hubby listens to it all and I go to bed to read. (I postal voted a while ago now). What could have been an interesting and informative time has turned into both sides slinging insults at each other. Waiting for the result with trepidation.

2 more, I should have said

Everyone is sick of it and yet...... We still have 2 pages devoted to it!

phoenix I merely meant that I stopped listening to it all a while ago. Nothing against your postings.

Printmiss summed it up for me.

'The same song sang to a different tune every day".

I have not listened to any of it. When I have caught a few minutes changing channels etc I've thought it horrendous. I have already voted by post and chose according to my own reasons and have just forgotten about it

And the poor quality of the debate during that vast quantity of media time is abysmal.

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.

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.

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......!

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.

Must have been a different pamphlet to mine phoenix

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.

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

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

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.

He is and does phoenix.

Meaning what, Tanith ?

Fingers in ears and lalalalalalalalalalalalalal!!

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!

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.
