European Commission boss Jean-Claude Juncker has warned the UK that "deserters won’t be welcomed back with open arms".
In hard-hitting comments, which have sparked accusations of intimidation among eurosceptics, he said the UK would "have to bear the consequences" if it voted to quit the 28-member bloc.
In the event of Britain breaking away, it "would be considered a third party and one we won’t suck up to", he added.
The tough-talking by the commission president is set to inflame the already rancorous referendum campaign being waged in the UK.
In an interview with the French newspaper Le Monde, Mr Juncker said: "Deserters won’t be welcomed back with open arms.

Not sure what the point of comments like this are.
1. it's not going to convince the undeciders to vote remain, they will be patronised by the scaremongering tactic. 2. it's only going to reinforce out voters that voting out is a must if that's the sort of attitude of EU's leaders. If the remain campaigners were smart, they'd understand that trying to scare people has a negative effect. Instead they are given off the impression of bullies and dictators. Still think the remain vote will win, as does the betting. |

i think the out vote will be over 60%
every working class person i know is voting out try and find a pensioner who plans to vote remain - that is a tall order, i know, i have tried the sky news report from spain the other day was surprised that the uk tourists he asked were 'all but unanimous' in voting out every en masse online poll is heavily out out is dominating social media the only polls that show 50/50 ish are the yougov, mori etc etc of this world. all these companies got the general election wrong. the president of yougov is the husband of catherine ashton and both a very vested interest in us remaining. the last poll for the london evening standard that showed remain 18 points ahead with 55% polled only 1002 people and only in london. this is no sample size at all. not to mention if remain can only get 55% in london then they are truly done for anyway. this poll seems to have caused the recent tumblein the remain price. madness is my opinion and a massive -EV to be punting based on that. a few years back when john prescott was trying to convince the people of the north east to vote his way in their referendum for a regional assembly every poll prior to the event was 50/50 ish or a slight lead for the assemblies to get the green light. they lost 73% to 27% - polls either dead wrong and dead useless when it comes to referendums or polls **** to show the result that is desired. |

It won't be an amicable split. Only lawyers win. The EU keep the house, the U.K. end up sleeping in the car.

By:

I'm worried about your ability to submit an accurate report. Saying things often doesn't make them right. |

if u wanna crunch those percentages into numbers using the actual numbers from the last general election ere it is
con 68% leave = 8.4 million, 24% remain = 3 million lab 44% leave = 4.4 million, 39% remain = 4 million lib 39% leave = 1 million, 47% remain = 1.2 million chuck in the 4 million for UKIP all voting out, 1.5 million for SNP all voting in (maybe) and what u got 17.8 million out, 9.7 million for in we are leaving the building |

Burt it does seem to me like you're trying to convince yourself, even if you do come fully loaded with stats.
You must be piling in on the brexit OUT market if you're so confident ? |

By:
