I'm not sure....


i remember that scene from some movie that i saw back when we were kids. because was it was made in the 40's. i remember this scene that the couple is shrunk,because the doct struck them with shrinking ray or shot that reduced them. but the doctor is normal size at this time.. the couple was captured dr. cyclop for reasons why i can't remember. the movie wasn't that good.

it has been at least, maybe 20 years or more, since i saw it. i was a big fan of the really b science fiction in teenager years and in my 20's. i had cable, but to try find something on my local channel to watched on the weekends. very limited choices, even in theatres.

I vote in and out three times quickly, then almost all the way out one time very slowly, then back in as deep as you can, with force but not speed..

Repeat as necessary. If it gets repetitious, switch places.

Voting out, as it's about time that UK takes control of its laws, economy, trade, employment and housing situation, resources to invest locally, national security and immigration.

Both Amanda and I will be voting to remain.

The EU is Britain's main trading partner. Hundreds of thousands of jobs depend on trade with Europe. The Leave campaign say we can re-negotiate our business arrangement with Europe but high level government ministers in France, Italy, Germany and other EU states have debunked this. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said Britain will get no favourable treatment and President Obama said a Post EU Britain would "Go to the back of the queue" when attempting to deal with the US. The IMF and other global trade organisations have said Britain would be seriously going out on a dangerous limb by leaving.

These people are genuine heavy hitters in the world of business, finance and trade and I take them seriously at their word.

The Leave campaign dismisses these warnings as "scaremongering", but when questioned as to exactly what their business strategy for the country post-Brexit is, they have no answers. There really is no coherent strategy other than to tell us all that we will simply go back to the people we have snubbed and they will give us new business deals with no strings attached, on our terms and we would have no responsibility to them in return.

I kinda figure the Europeans won't agree to such terms. The Americans certainly won't..!!


The Leave campaign is putting all its focus on the Migrant issue. They say that we'll just shut our borders and not let anybody in, and while that may appeal to the Daily Mail and Sun readers amongst us again, it isn't realistic.

If migrants can't come here legally, they'll come here illegally and then disappear into the black economy and we'll have no idea who they are, where they are and how many criminals, terrorists and paedophiles are amongst them.

We cannot stop people coming here. Britain has 8000 miles of coastline and the Royal Navy has four patrol boats to police that entire area. I can tell you about the amount of people smuggling that has been going on for decades around the coast of Cornwall alone. Just wait until it REALLY gets organised..!!

We have undefended borders with Scotland and the Irish Republic. When Scotland forces another referendum (which they will) and leaves the UK (which they will) and then joins the EU (which they will), migrants will be able to legally travel to those two countries and then simply walk across the border into Britain. I reckon the Scots and Irish won't try to stop them.

I believe that the migrant issue is a problem, but one which we should attempt to solve from inside the EU. If we work with our European partners we can be a part of the resolution.

If we leave, we have no voice. We have no say. We really will be all alone.

And it's a one way trip. They'll never have us back.

After the EU referendum in the UK, I'm going to go back to France and participate in the possible second French revolution to have a similar referendum.

Locals in different towns are already holding meetings and gathering to come up with sensible points to ask for a referendum. I'm virtually with them.

I'll also vote out in France, and I'm confident that we will get the referendum.

It's not news that other countries in the EU are also looking to have a similar vote, therefore, this supposedly EU unity would be pointless.

A referendum in France..?? Merde..!! For the life of me I can't see that ever happening. A few malcontents and the far right wing might be up for it but I doubt very much that there will be anything like the strength of feeling in the country to leave the EU that there is here.

The British have always been fiercely independent. We've been fighting off invaders for fifteen hundred years. We are notoriously suspicious of anything continental... it's in our DNA.

And yet, this referendum, according to all the polls, is going to go to the wire. It's going to be very close. If it is a close run thing in a country which has a loooong history of independence, nay, anti-Europeanism then what chance of getting an "out" vote in France, which has always been one of, if not THE major force for European integration.... and benefits the most from it.

As for Britain...? Well, I go with the democratic flow. I'll cast my vote and abide by the outcome for good or bad. I want Britain to remain in the EU and believe we'd be far worse off out of it than in.

A friend of mine says she'll vote Leave. I said she shouldn't wish for Brexit too hard... she might just get what she wishes for.

I have no idea what the merits of whether Britian should stay or go are, and, therefore, will offer my input on the song instead.



Fantastic song. One of the best ever recorded.

Unless you are also French, then, don't speak for all the French in regards to their right to vote or having an opinion. Their right to vote is not associated with any political party as you seem to label 'US' with the right wing, or as a few malcontents. ( me included for being French).

In France, the right to protest is also amongst the Amendments - rightly or wrongly.

I know the history of the Britsh for being British too. I find it laughable for you to speak in the name of all the British, when I refuse to be in your little ignorant group.

I'll vote in both countries, well hoping that the French government hold a similar referendum, by using my democratic right. Whichever way the vote goes, I'll accept it as other people also have the right to vote the same way.
