Always seems to be the unconventional "freaks" that see the light, yet are cast conspiracists - threatening the very core that comforts us.....the ingrained fantasies and illusions.

^Spot on

Or move to Thailand and become an aching bore as well as a conspiracy theorist. You'll be as safe as piwiannoy.

Umm. Those two things are not the same. I wonder if the EU have rules about standards of education, god knows the English at least could do with some.

The micks could do with more.

Obama visit

US President Barack Obama is expected to repeat his support for Britain's EU membership when he visits the UK next week.
Liam Fox, the Conservative former defence secretary who is backing the Leave campaign, told BBC One's Sunday Politics: "Of course the American president is there to express what he believes is in America's interest, not Britain's interest... It's absolutely unthinkable that the United States would allow a court to overrule the Supreme Court or someone else to determine their external borders."

But former US State Department spokesman James Rubin responded: "America is a very, very large country. It's a superpower... Just because we won't do something, doesn't mean that the British shouldn't."

They just want 3 countries:
Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia

America is a well known interfering bully of a country, and will do whatever it can to de-stabilize another nation, in order to gain natural resources and strategic military advantage, so increasing its arms sales and boosting its economy through foul rather than fair means.

Exactly so.

Giving up freedom in exchange for security results in losing both.

Well, thanks to the EU you get one more bite at the apple and it may be the only way for UK citizens to fight back when the establishment closes ranks to protect their own.

That's why they have the right to bear arms. To raise a militia against a bad government.

Yeah, luckily they've only had good governments so there's been no need for them to take up arms.

Actually Edward Abbey, a 20th Century American anarchist. Anybody who thinks Tom Paine would say anything like that has never read Tom Paine. Sadly , the proliferation of lies and ignorance on the Internet has led to the fictionalisation of politics and history. Doubly sad when you consider that the founders of the Internet believed that access to information would make for smarter people and a better world.

If Britain leaves the EU - what effect do you think this will have on exchange rates, of particular interest what will the baht rate be?

Probably not much since the UK never left the Pound Sterling.

The pound is already being hammered. If the UK leave the EU, the Eu monsters will swirl in lead by Soros and will crush the pound, probably to be 1:1 with the USD. Your pension, matey, will get you significantly less baht each month. Compounded on this, TTIP will be signed by Prime minister (crowned not elected) Boris Bullingdon eton rich boy which will allow the asst stripping of the rest of the country that camoron has not already sold.

Stay in though.... well, we're fuck if we stay in. Properly - they will use that as the excuse to go Euro

The pound will dip for a couple of weeks, a month at most then come back stronger as the full impact of the British economy feels the 55 million pound a day burden lifted from it's shoulders.

The British pensioner will live well as the £ will strengthen to the good old days of 75 baht a pound.

The depth of opinion from ex pat's locally tends to agree with you , although 75 would be quite nice, personally I'd be quite happy with 65
