informant100,
you obviously do not go on holiday to Spain or anywhere in Europe?
How do you communicate with the people in those countries when visiting or holidaying?

So you do not want any business with Greece,Germany or France?

You want Barclays to shut down its operations in the continent?

Did you know that the immigration in this country on a yearly basis is made of 50% outside EU?

At my hospital there was a Polish chap and the DR turned him away and re-booked because he couldn't speak English and they had no translator. What a waste of money. This is why I'm voting OUT I have switched from in. This and many other reason I.e Greece and Turkey

I want us more like Australia

Diku

This is going back down to 150p. Then if we leave the EU it could well test 55p again. But if we stay expect over £2

All the CEO's & the Insiders in the PLC casino markets will have a free ride this year at the expense of this EU referendum!!...if their companies miss expectation targets then just blame it on lack of business confidence due to EU referendum...

Looking at the FTSE header chart...I think those Masters of Universe in the City will want FTSE to retest 5600 again or possibly even lower inorder to buy the market/prices cheaper....No Advice Intended....

I do give a lot of money away but not to immigrants . over 20k a year
and coming to the end of my life
in or out will not affect my family

[portside1] 15/6/2016 09:16

back to the vote , ever eu member can come to the uk and get benefits fact
yet no brit can go to any eu country and get benefits I can not even get nhs in spain for free we need to buy insurance so our children can not afford to work in the eu
so why is it that all migrants get it free in the uk plus all the benefits try and get benefits in any eu country you will not .
if the in vote win then so be it .
then when the migrants come in their millions and destroy all the services
will you all be silent

portside1,
not many people are rich like you, having £250,000 to invest.

Obviously not a site for you as it does only try to help people less well off
to survive in an ever challenging money run and money based society.

For those with mega assets like you then hide under your mattress and take them
with you in the other side if you can.

Meanwhile has anyone got any views on Barclays share price?

[portside1] 15/6/2016 09:09

martin tells savers to put £250 a month into account paying 3or 4 % which is pointless .he never gives out how to invest 250k because he does not know

[alphorn] 15/6/2016 09:09

porty - if everybody stepped down that you suggest in politics and companies there would be nobody left.

[portside1] 15/6/2016 09:02

one question from you in voters on immigration
when do you wake up when the uk is sinking from immigration,
our does the uk stop millions of migrants from the eu coming to the uk
what will you do or say when another 5 m come over the next 5 years
then even more .

will you say I voted out not me

[alphorn] 15/6/2016 08:57

[portside1] 15/6/2016 08:46

[joe say] 15/6/2016 08:10

christh - you've put a lot of thought into the debate

Just shows how naive and ignorant a lot of the remain voters are

[portside1] 15/6/2016 08:05

my view is I want the best for the uk and its people
not for the likes of the kinnocks wwho say they are socialists they are far from that they are greedy lying pigs

[portside1] 15/6/2016 08:02

facts , the in campaigners have given non only scares no figures on any issue
lied about migration lied about ever thing .
they have taken the uk voters for fools and idiots

it is not 350m a week its 367m .
and all the money that comes back goes to the rich not the working classes
migrants are destroying our services struggling to cope and failing which is what Cameron wants he wants to privatise the services to is rich friends

their is a campaign to destroy the workers and middle classes

The economy outweighs EU fees.

EU fees have become a hot potato politically, but it’s worth establishing the scale of the debate.

– The size of the UK’s annual economic activity was £1,800 billion in 2015.
– The annual fees to the EU in 2015 were £18bn, but we get a rebate, after that the fees are £13bn, plus there’s the money the EU spends in the UK; so what it actually costs us is £8.5bn.

So while fees for the EU club are huge, they’re dwarfed by the scale of our economy. That doesn’t diminish them as a political issue, but it does mean they can’t be viewed in isolation.

Just a 1% economic change is £18bn a year. The IN campaign’s worst case figure says Brexit could cost 7.5%, so that’s £135bn. Some OUT economists say the gain could be 4%, so £72bn. Regardless of which is right, it shows how you think the nation’s finances will swing should outweigh your view on fees.

Fees are more substantial compared with the Government’s £700bn annual spending. Adding £13bn (what we give the EU after the rebate) to that would have an impact. Though again, it’s still only equivalent to the change in the Government’s income from a roughly 1% move in the economy.

You’ll never know if you made the right decision.

The volume of uncertainty means the only way to make the right decision is based on your political attitude to the EU, your gut instinct, and how risk-averse you are on each area that matters to you. I hope this article has helped at least put it in context.

Two people can both make the right decision but vote differently. And even then a good decision may have a bad outcome. More frustratingly, we’ll never know the right answer, as we can only ever know how one outcome turns out.

Sadly that means the spittle and bitterness over this will rage on long beyond 23 June. And indeed that’s where I should finish this, but…
How am I going to vote?

A couple of weeks ago I was so stunned I dropped my wallet (you can imagine how tightly I cling to that) when a Stronger In Europe leaflet popped through my door with my face and quote at the top. I hadn’t been asked for permission, nor am I campaigning for either side (see the truth about the leaflet blog).

The quote was accurate.
It came from ITV’s The Agenda where I was put on the spot with a direct question. I’m not a politician, so I answered, saying: “On balance of probability, it is more likely we’ll have less money in our pockets if we vote to leave”.
