And quit naming people Nigel, dammit! It's become a worn-out stereotype.

Nigel is a great English name. It derives from the Latin "Nigellus", which in turn is thought to derive (though it is disputed) from the Latin "niger", meaning " black".

Here's an aggregate of all polls to date..

Sorry Breave



And as you can see, it's impossible to say who will win.

My money's on Brexit, though.

But let's do the right thing instead and push for a Bremain win, shall we?

I don't think Bremain is the right thing. I'm supporting Brexit.

Also, the lower the turnout in this referendum, the likelier Brexit will win, and it will very likely be a low turnout.

And as you consider the EU to be so great and so beneficial to its Member States I assume you have already sent an email to your Prime Minister demanding that he try and get Canada to join it?

Too right, I am, as are millions of people.

Yes, one knows they are talking to a Briton when they can't detect painfully obvious sarcasm.

But, hey, nothing supports your agenda of freedom and liberty more than 'hoping for a low voter turnout'

And we've had violence from Remain thugs.

A listener named Robert in Dulwich, south London, told LBC radio that he has been called a racist, a Nazi (ironically, the Nazis wanted a united Europe under German domination, so a Remain supporter more closely resembles a Nazi) and even been threatened with being stabbed just because he was handing out Leave leaflets.

"We had our stall kicked, punched, we had leaflets taken from the table, someone tried to knock the table over.

The weird thing is, I'm half Caribbean and my friend is Jamaican. All these people over the course of the day, every single person who called us a racist or a Nazi - and there were many - were all white, middle class people."

And police intimidation.




Just reminds us why millions of people around the world were willing to die to get free of the Brits.

His point being that non-whites can't be bigots and racists, or that whites cant be anti-racist?

No matter. If UKKKIP wins, you can get rid of him.

Welcome to the new reality where voters take back their country from the politicians and bureaucraps.

...or they don't like to be invaded by so many different cultures... AFRAID.

Brexit supporters say they're worried about immigration. The real problems are deeper.

Bigots and Racism... just look at Blackleaf, a perfect example of this.

Your funnin' made a body wonder. Don't think you're a bad guy, and I think you believe you're not a racist, but take some time and dig around inside your head some.

Seriously. No, I ain't accusing you of nothing. Just saying a little audit of your attitudes can help, and you seem to be in a pretty good position do one, being honest with yourself.

Don't need to tell me about it, this is for you. And maybe I'm full of it. If so, just ignore this. Don't mean nothing by it. Either way, not an accusation, not a criticism, just a recommendation.
