EU Referendum Megathread (Brexit)

[-:Undertaker:-]

couldn't of been any use if we voted to remain a few days later?

Back then the country was one that had lost confidence in itself. It's a different ball game now.

Thorpe's speech gave me goosebumps there. It may be 40 years old, but my god does it still apply today.

Here's the short clip embedded of Labour's Peter Shore back in 1975. Remarkable that exactly the same arguments still apply all these years later.

I've always said that it was Old Labour - the democratic left - that own this issue, long before the likes of Mrs Thatcher joined the fight in the 1990s.

EU referendum: Queen asks guests to give her three reasons why Britain should remain in the EU

Revelation fuels rumours that the Queen personally favours Britain's departure from the European Union

The Queen is politically neutral but is still privately debating Britain's membership of the EU

The Queen has been canvassing opinion on the EU debate by asking dinner companions: "Give me three good reasons why Britain should be part of Europe."

Her Majesty's biographer, Robert Lacey, reported the Queen's comments and suggested they may mean the Queen favours withdrawal from the European Union.

Buckingham Palace would neither confirm nor deny that the Queen had been debating the merits of Brexit in private, but royal sources pointed out that the words attributed to the Queen were "a question not a statement".

However the leading nature of the alleged question adds weight to previous claims that the Queen would like Britain to pull out of the EU.

Absolutely stunning when Boris at the end of that debate said let's stop bowing down to Brussels and make the 24th Britain's independence day.

He got a standing ovation and cheers from the audience. Finally a politician who BELIEVES that this country can do so so much better instead of talking it down.

Ahhh dirty character attacks from a Remain supporter. It's all they have left.

We don't feel the need to insult Davies, O'Grady or Khan because we can win on the arguments.
