If we leave the EU, the U.K. is hosed. Scotland will do referendum 2.0, Northern Ireland will be chaos. Wales loses a shitload of regional funds. I can't see how this can possibly end well.

Cheer up, once we get drafted into the ensuing war and all the paups die in pointless bloodshed the economy will be much healthier.

I don't think the UK is 'hosed' if we leave the EU. I just things will be worse.

I wish I could agree - unfortunately I think it will create a constitutional crisis that will end the UK as we know it.

In between Farage's vile 'only leaving the EU will protect ARE WIMMINZ safe from roving rape gangs' and Gove's 'all experts are elitist morons apart from my experts who say that terrorists will kill us all unless we leave', I've pretty much given up hope.

I'm predicting a last minute Hail Mary for Remain ScotRef style, although probably not from Gordon Brown.

Maybe someone universally reviled like Gary Glitter will come out in support of Leave.

Doesn't work like that, my mum hates half the main figures in the Leave campaign but is happy to put that to one side for the sake of the country. Which makes sense - focus on the what, not the who.

I’m Brexit! There you go. I’m honest about it. The only reason being is because, yes, we can stay in and renegotiate new terms. But I think it’s always better to shut the door, then open it again and agree better terms.
That's probably the dumbest opinion I've heard on Brexit in a while.

Since no-one's actually answered this seriously... RTFM man.

Black ink only, IIRC, but the restrictions are on the instructions that come with the ballot paper.

I'm assuming he meant the possibility of Scotland withdrawing from the UK in event of a leave vote.

Also it was black only and I was able to borrow a pen from my neighbour.

I have today seen someone saying that Britain doesn't need a long term energy policy because we will be able to buy lots of cheap energy from Europe, as once we leave the EU they will have to give us a good deal.

That the Leave campaign has such a high proportion of the vote is proof that bell curves have a bottom end.
