Well it looked like Obama flying all the way over to tell us to stay in (so his corporate chums can inflict TTIP on us ending our democracy) would be this week's winner. But Alistair Campbell's 'Putin and ISIS' (cracking combo) has smashed him out of the park. Putin and ISIS...brilliant.
Honourable mentions go to the 8 former US Treasury secretaries who wrote to The Times warning that Brexit was a threat to our 'special relationship'.
If they're at this level now they must have some serious sh1t planned for the next few weeks.
Stay calm and do some proper research about TTIP.

I can't think of a single advantage to staying in now.A future existence of bailing out basket case EU economies,it's like asking to have a communicable disease..."Super Gonorrhoea?Yeah put me down for some of that guv."

Are the government legally obliged to act upon the result of the referendum?
No. They are the Government and do as they like. If it is an Out they will likely get much better terms from the EU, and return to the electorate for a second vote, ad infinitum until they get what they want.

Obama using ww2 as his reasoning for uk to stay put. Apparently the yanks lost thousands of soldiers during this war, coming over here to save us. How bl**dy inconsiderate of us to not win our own war and drag the poor yanks into it. Go home ya t**t
I just bet Obama forgot to mention that we had to pay the septics to come in to WW2

But where are the quantified arguments from the Leave side? I don't believe there has been anything, not anything. I find that very worrying. Hope is not a strategy.

All financial forecasts are little more than guesswork. Not worth the paper they are written on. Markets are depressed at present due to uncertainty. After the referendum, when we know the outcome,, markets should settle down although even that is not certain.
Would the euro ever have been created if the present and last few years had been accurately forecast?

It shouldnt worry you , predicting nothing other than fact which is that WTO agreements automatically come into force on exit is better than lying , skewing figures , and trying to scare the voters . Let them tell us what 2030 will be like if we remain . How many live here , do we still have a strong army , how is the NHS , did Greece default , whats TTIP like , .......

One in the eye for the Establishment v The Prople - you don't know anything,leave it to the big(bent) "authorities" and lackies of the self- interested organisations.Yes like Paddy Pantsdown.
Just my opinion, but I reckon that Obama has just dropped one hell of B*****k when he said that " The UK will be at the back of the queue if it leaves the EU ". He has just made my mind up by simply blurting that out. Worst US Prez ever in my view. Useless.

If Britain leaves europe what has this country got to stand on its own two feet these days? I've got no idea whats best, to leave or stay. I don't think we'll leave, we're too far gone imo, and we'll still be America's special friend . As you were.

As we pay into the EU coffers 55 million pounds gross a day and no one knows where the money goes to ( that is the auditors have refused to sign the books off for 19 years) that to me is reason enough to leave. The immigration figures the government gave out for last year were around 333,000 but at the same time the office who issue National insurance numbers handed out over 600,000 (this reported by the Telegraph and other nationals) If they continue to come at this present rate where are they all going to live, where will they all find jobs, is the infrastructure in place to deal with this hugh influx every year, schools, hospitals, doctors etc. If the UK votes to stay in expect to take in many more, the EU will tell you how many you will have to take every year and the UK will be unable to say no.

what i really really dont get is how the leave campaign can possibly know that they can negotiate trade deals with 27 different countries to exactly the same levels as they are today...The same 27 countries we would have just told to f-off.
mind you, i suspect that 90% of the leave campaigners are voting to leave based purely on their attitude towards migrants, so this is probably a moot point...
Because we are the 5th largest economy on the planet and we are a big market for their products... Just look at our balance of trade or more obviously look at the cars on the road around you.

Here we go again.
Do the maths. Of course they'll do a deal, they just won't do a deal any better than the one we've already got. In fact, it'll probably be worse.
Negotiation is about who blinks first. They are a much bigger market for our goods than vice versa ergo we have to blink first. Further, this may be a shock to you, but British people are still going to buy BMWs even if they are subject to import duty because its a great product. Germans are a sight less likely to buy a British Nissan if the price goes up when they can get a VW, even if its Czech made and re-badged as a Skoda, for same or less. Ditto, we're still going to buy French wine and Italian olive oil.
They want our market. We need theirs. Or putting it another way, being in the EU has been bloody good deal for our business and if we want to keep that it'll cost us, both in allowing free movement of labour i.e. zero effect on immigration if we leave and in contributions to EU budget i.e. no saving on contributions if we leave.
Unless of course they offer use good deal out of good will. Which they won't because we'll have effectively been sticking two fingers up to them before walking into the negotiating room, in fact have been for the last 20 years.
I may be too optimistic. The deal may have to go through some referendum in any one of the EU countries and get torpedoed, like the Dutch just did with the Ukraine deal. If the deal has to get past, say, the French electorate, don't bet on them voting for it just because of the economics, they'll vote on sentiment and prejudice, same as we do.

If the idiot is hinting at embargoes and trade wars then bring it on,we've been through those before.It sounds like some sort of scorched earth policy before he gets booted out,if the next incumbent is Billary Clinton at least she's an anglophile (in part).Trump definitely is.The UK produces luxury items that the Shermans are reluctant do without including Downton F*cking Abbey.

You are miles to pessimistic and underestimate the clout of big business in adapting quickly to keep their bottom line and shareholders happy .
The day after an out vote they will be lobbying Government to start talking here and overseas . We invest more in America than they do here ,but they may have to wait at the back of the line . We will negotiate with the big bloc next to us first of course and then China and India .
Sorry USA we may not get to you" ANY TIME FCKIN SOON"!

Bloke on the radio said Obama threatening us with our PM standing next to him could be the remain campaigns "Eddstone" moment .
Not sure about that but it will have tipped as many to out as remain from the "dont knows"
