And what if no Webdings font on one's system? Should one call 911?

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

My alarm goes off at 5:30 every day to get Mrs Wife up and out, and I usually walk up to the station with her. Then it's girls up and to school and by 9:00 I am totally knackered.

I'm playing the game of how people will vote based on popularity of MP's who support each side. With IDS and Gove both calling for out that cancels out BoJo.

Gove is unpopular, yes - someone threw a negative personality dice roll when he was created - and IDS is pretty useless, but it takes more than that to cancel Boris!

Are you Gove himself? Or his mother perhaps?

Adapted? Is that when his chin was removed?

That's why Boris picked the out team. He thinks they'll lose!
Boris thinks he can claim the Tory throne because:
1) The in campaigners will be happy that we are still in the EU
2) The out campaigners will be happy because Boris supported them
Not that I'm remotely cynical about the motivations of a politician.

You're talking about Boris Johnson and his choice to speak out against the EU?
I have nothing against British people, don't get me wrong, but you guys didn't play along with the EU from the beginning (Still using pound instead of euro to name one thing). And I always doubted the commitment of the British government. (they where more like the chicken[^] )
Now it looks like you want out. But I wonder why? Do you prefer to be on your own? I'm convinced the EU should be even closer/stronger together instead of divided (which it is now, hence the current trouble) so I hope your choice doesn't affect the EU in such a way it will fall.
anyhow, choose wisely.

At the risk of falling foul of the no politics rile.
Most British people don't want out. Most don't care. The Scots want to stay, the Irish want to stay, the Welsh want to stay, the English are very much split on the idea.
I don't like referenda, I don't like the idea that uninformed people will be making important decisions. That is why we have a representative democracy, so that we can elect a government of informed people to make important decisions. Doesn't mean they'll make good decisions, but at least they should be making informed ones.
The vast majority of those voting to leave will do so because they have an aversion to immigrants and foreigners telling them what to do, both things that have been hyped by our media for years. The vast majority of those voting to stay will do so because they have an aversion to change. A minuscule minority will attempt to look at the information available (there will only be a tiny subset of what is needed) and make an informed decision on what is best for the future of the country. Around 5 people will actually understand enough to make a properly informed decision.
And of course personalities, people cannot cope with thinking so they need a nice marketing buzzword like Brexit to get behind, and celebrities who they recognise.
Boris may be a dangerous, conniving, self-serving shitehawk, but he has very carefully created a public character for himself as a lovable, bumbling buffoon who is good to laugh and completely harmless.

Agree totally, this is why I didn't believe in voting for a very long time.

Except you can't trust Cameron to do this. He was always going to vote to stay in however bad the 'deal' he got was, despite saying the opposite. Look at Blair. It might have been true in the past that the elected did what was best for the Country but now they just do what's best for themselves.

The immigration thing I have seen with my own eyes. One of the main reasons I moved out of Portsmouth is it totally unrecognisible to the one I grew up in. Now I have moved I don't have 1 hour waits in the Doctors surgery and every kid in my sons class can speak English, so the teacher can give him more time.

He is indeed Machiavellian.
