I shall have to make up my own mind about how to vote (and soon) because nothing either 'side' says convinces me that they know what they're talking about. Certainly they can't put it across to the struggling public.

And heaven help us, given the choice between Osbourne and Boris. It leaves me with my head in my hands to think that these are our 'leaders'.

This election, no doubt, will determine the mood of most Britons in this regard at this point in time.<br /> <br />From my point of view, trade agreements and defensive pacts are fine and dandy, but, being a states' rights individual and strict constitutionalist as opposed to an aficionado of a dominant, domineering, central government, the original, conceptual logic of a captive market place and socialistic "United States of Europe" completely escapes me. I think this vote very likely is the first real step toward a breakdown of the EU, as other countries will follow suit, bow to the will of their citizens and depart.<br /><br />Fascinating post, CiL, and neat music ....Fram Actualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01540773153894050197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-2227870498910967632016-05-22T00:35:31.741+01:002016-05-22T00:35:31.741+01:00We do live in most interesting times! apologies fo...We do live in most interesting times! apologies for our trump!Cloudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853753108637831069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-79805023215772208912016-05-22T00:20:37.653+01:002016-05-22T00:20:37.653+01:00Damn, gonna have to call Godzilla to save the day....Damn, gonna have to call Godzilla to save the day.
