I'm not expecting turnout to go through the roof, but it could easily be 5-10% higher than the norm.

Re: Brexit
Well tomorrow I'll be making the journey into London to join the protesters in Parliment Square.
This is a first.
I must say that the Brexit betryal by parliment has made me ve politically motivated, so much so I'm thinking of putting my name down as a Brexit canditate.

Oh I don't know I quite li.... No, you're right, he's a self serving t*sser. A man of the people, not.

The more fair minded will probably jump ship to the Brexit party where Mr Farage is fighting against the Elite with the help of Jacob Rees-Mogg's sister and sundry members of the proletariat ..

A Rees-Mogg fighting against the elite? They ARE the elite.

Re: Brexit
I don't think people should be calling Farage "obnoxious". This might just be a Remainer position, much like Spurs fans stupidly call Arsenal "****".
I doubt if the Remainers here who agree with the "obnoxious" handle have any first hand knowledge of Farage; I certainly have none but nothing I've seen of him warrants that description.

There is no correlation between the two, to draw one is in very poor taste. Very poor.

Farage is an excellent orator, handles himself much better than many MPs, and he will carry support.
I think he is essential to the debate.

Re: Brexit
Farage is just an advanced troll. He knows exactly the right thing to say to make people react but to have an excuse. Like when he said the referendum happened without a bullet being fired knowing it would get under the skin of Remain/Lefties/Liberals after the Jo Cox incident or today when he said put the fear of god into MPs or when he said people with AIDs are coming over here. It gets headlines and he says 'what I clearly meant was....'
People on the other side of the argument need to stop falling for it. Politics seems too much like people trolling each other for reactions. Same with obsessing over how a commodities trader who was given a job by his dad before becoming a career politician is anti-establishment, people don't care who he is but what he represents.

You're absolutely correct but brace yourself for comments from the Godwins Law brigade.

You forgot the legal definitiion Chris.It doesn't fit either.
Law

b. To serve (someone) with papers announcing the garnishment of that person's property in order to satisfy a debt.
