I disagree. Cameron has spent a decade appeasing the Euroskeptic wrong of the Tory party, blaming the EU, and talking rubbish on immigration. He made the bed, now we have to lie in it.

Well he won't. He'll just foxtrot oscar to work for a consultancy and someone else will have to lie in the bed.
It was an observation not a criticism. Chillax esé
I wasn't being aggressive about it, just saying that if he doesn't position himself to deal with it, I can't blame him for not doing so
Just watched the Cameron half of the debate. I didn't think it was the disaster some suggested; the audience were much more hostile to him than Gove - or at least much less controlled. But I don't think there's any question Gove put in the better performance but I imagine going second was something of an advantage.
Cameron was seriously rattled. Though I'm no fan of Gove or any of them, cannot stand the guy but he was smooth.

Such a strong performance by Michael Gove. Difference between him and Cameron was that Gove believed every single word he was saying.

Risks of leaving the EU:
- Economic calamity
- No more French wine or German cars
- Elderly expats returned to sender
- Return to medieval feudalism
- Everyone points and laughs at how small the UK is
- Nuclear Armageddon
- Boris as PM
- Actual motherflipping dinosaurs rampaging in London
- UK smothered by dark ominous cloud of racism
- Weekend trip to Benidorm costs a bit more than before
Is it really worth the risk?

Keep posting, the leave majority on here keeps getting bigger.
Your first paragraph above basically says financial crisis = nationalism = brexit. Where do you get this stuff from? I and many other Brexit supporters are voting to leave based on our knowledge of the issues, not because we're blaming the EU on the financial crisis. I can't figure out if you genuinely believe this stuff or you are just doing your best to try and scare people to vote remain.
Your second post is basically a smear, associating anyone who supports Brexit with Putin or Trump. It's a 50/50 referendum, have you not figured out that by simple maths there will be unsavourary characters voting both ways? It's such a weak argument, 'this guy is voting the same as you and is nasty so that makes your vote wrong!'. Yawn.
You sound just like Cameron, zero conviction on what you're saying or actual knowledge of the issues, just a continuous spouting of 'but look, these people know better than us!'.
So thats a no on being able to provide even a single specific example then.
Wasnt it his election promise to have this referendum?
The referendum was called for. Was it actually a choice?
Labour didnt put it up as a promise so yeah

I don't post here to change anyone's opinion and it's "=>", not "=". It is also widely known that major crises lead to a rise in Nationalism and the literature behind that fact is vast and available everywhere. I'm not saying Euroscepticism spontaneously appeared due to the financial crisis, I'm saying Euroscepticism has made significant gains due to it and the Brexit referendum would not have happened without it.
The fact of the matter is you disagree with most of those who are informed on the matter and with those who are in decision making positions. You agree with a xenophobic snake oil salesman and a dictator.
I can't believe Gove kept a straight face while saying all that
We need the trickle down meme....
Ah the old xenophobia line. How are your skinny jeans fitting today?
