What's your point on that comment eh?

Does it matter & 'what if', with the likes of the new Lord Mayor of London, they, the commissioners were either born in the UK or in one of the EU countries?

Should the UK do the Brexit, then everyone left in the UK can scream 'ethnic' even if the person was born British

BTW, I'm an 'ethnic Canadian' & proud of it... gerrit

of course, silly me - it was intended to not be confused with the 'Mayor of London'

Everyone in London looks the same.

Its a 'Remain vote' for sure

Not what you might call a responsible attitude
Basically the exact same thing that happened in the Alberta provincial election last year. And now look what we have to live with for the next 3 years...

People say the pro Brexit side of the debate has been all about immigration but I think its all the Remainians fault.

There has been some speculation that if the UK does leave other countries might also try. In keeping with the snappy Brexit moniker:

Portugal could have a Departugal.
Poland a Poxit.
Italy would Italeave but simultaneous referendums in Ireland and Italy could be Eirederci.

I apologize if this has already been covered in the 397 posts but can anyone tell me if us expats outside of the EU stand to lose our UK state pensions if the vote is an out vote? I have googled and can't get a clear answer.

I haven't googled, but the answer is no.

What have you been smoking?

Short of the end of the Western political civilisation a vote to leave the EU would have absolutely no effect on British expats living outside the EU.

If we leave, has anyone thought about us not being allowed in the Eurovision song contest anymore?

We got 62 points this year.
