Vote Leave had a fake "register to vote" page on their website today, which has since been taken down. All it did was sign you up for their e-mail newsletter.

That's the level politics has sunk to.

didn't think they were going head to head.
there needs to be a cameron vs boris debate. preferably with a good moderator and fact check team to challenge the assertions being passed off as fact ( sadly both sides have been at it)

I see Corbyn on Last Leg said people forget that it wasn't our nice government or businesses that brought about 4 weeks holiday leave , minimum working wage and paternity leave it came from the EU....I remember the CBI saying the NMW would destroy businesses left, right and centre....it didn't. He came across a lot better than Nick Clegg did I felt.

The minimum wage didn’t come from the EU, it was entirely due to the Labour government at the time.

He was right about the leave though -
UK workers have gained 96 million days paid holiday thanks to EU holiday rights (the Working Time Directive), totalling 1.5 million extra days paid leave since 1998.

To look at it another way, 7.4 million UK employees, just over 1 in 4, have gained an average of 13 extra days paid holiday from our adoption of this EU-wide minimum standard.
I feel more like the EU are likely to chase down the huge multi-nationals too than our current Tory government.

Getting a pretty strong 'Leave' vibe around my workplace though I do live in a rather insular and xenophobic neck of the woods.

One of my colleagues is German and when she pointed out to her office chums discussing immigration negatively 'you do realise I'm a migrant?' The response was 'Oh I hadn't thought of it like that! But you've lived here for ages.'
As I pointed out to her, more like 'Oh I hadn't thought [at all.]'

I'm surprised that there seems to be such a large swing either way - how is that the Leave clowns have managed to persuade the don't-knows that their fantasies are worth betting on?

Speaking of betting, I see the odds are favouring Remain - showing a 65% chance of it on Betfair the last time I looked, up from 60% yesterday. (The "proper" bookies apparently have it at 62%.)
