Nope just had to break off to have a shower. You do have a different outlook though not being resident here. I understand it's not all sweetness and light these days in Sweden. How do you find it, do you speak Swedish?

Why should this influence my decision on whether the UK is best in or out of the European Union?

Corbyn has handled himself okay but all the people trying to swing the argument by using an MP's death to silence people by shaming them with false accusations of racism and making fake insults at posters while pretending Britain will become divided and have no more allies certainly lost a bit of credibility.
I'm a little more sceptical of Boris but when they are all lying then how can I really sit around and pretend one liar is so much better than another
Some can be worse of course but I'm more worried about the ones willing to use death and divide the public with shaming more.

I was just discussing with the other half that whatever the outcome and no matter the vitriol in the arguments we should be proud we live in a mature confident democracy that can ask itself tough questions.
There are no riots, no killings, no tanks on the streets and the generals won't take over if the result goes the wrong way, whatever that is.
It's nice to live in a stable country.

Any women who can straddle the canon of a tank as a massive phallic symbol gets my vote.
I don't think he has. He's come across as someone unable, or unwilling, to put himself out there and really put his point across to get us to stay. I think almost every politician on both sides has come out of this poorly.

Worlds full of idiots, on both sides.

She's top tier for the torys thats for sure.
I'd love to see that, the remain camp are welcome to be the outsiders, they can flee the UK on Friday AM for all I care
These two posts really sum up how depressingly divisive this referendum has become. It's not limited to this forum either; whenever something on Facebook comes up related to the referendum, one only has to look at the comments to see snarling, angry and insulting posts from people on both sides of the debate. Leavers shouting about Remainers being traitors, Remainers sneering at Leavers for being uneducated and racist. The whole campaign revolving around buzzwords and cheesy catchphrases. I walk past the Orpington Conservative Club every morning and there's a sign in the window addressing "Brexiteers". Utterly cringeworthy. And now, some genius has coined the pun "Bremaniacs", so you can't even engage in any sort of adult debate without these stupid little buzzwords and childish insults working their way into the conversation.
I'm frankly finding the whole thing a bit embarrassing. I was looking forward to Friday more because I was tired of the whole thing and couldn't wait for it to end, rather than any actual interest in the result. But I don't know about anyone else, but I get the uneasy feeling that whatever the outcome, we will end up a deeply divided nation and that actually worries me a little.
EDIT: After I typed that, I scrolled up and saw the below posts. Kind of sums up my unease

I must admit it made me giggle.
You must know different academics to me then. It's a very socialist left leaning environment in my experience. But then you would expect that given the way education is funded.
The Fabian Society founded the LSE for instance. Check out their philosophy, interesting stuff. Also read up on "Common Purpose" another interesting organisation.
The information is out there if you want to find it.
