Re: Where are you going to retire to?
England or Ireland look to be on the cards - still a good twenty years away though so no firm plan. As long as I'm close to family and good pubs I'm happy.

The whole turnout thing is moot - if people don't vote they have chosen to have no say and thus can be ignored - they can suck it up when someone gets into power they don't like. If they feel no...

Re: Well done Farage
Racism is a word used for just about anything these days. Usually by people who have never suffered racism.
