Present from Eastern Europe

How kind - someone has left us some cans of Eastern European beer to drink - oh, and a bottle of vodka too. Oh, they are all empty. Our church grounds are obviously a recycling bin. Cosmopolitanism and the multicultural society myth - it's all about mutual respect right?

The Guardian newspaper seems very lukewarm on backing Remain campaign.

I have noticed over the past week that even the Guardian newspaper that I would have expected to back the Remain campaign to the hilt is posting articles that are in contradiction to the assertions made by Remain. Here is a good example:

https://www.theguardian.com/business/economics-blog/2016/jun/15/george-osborne-brexit-budget-would-guarantee-a-recession-eu-referendum

entitled:

"George Osborne's Brexit budget would guarantee a recession." ...
"Rather than slashing spending, the government would be wise to take a pragmatic approach to the economy if we left the EU."

This sort of writing seems to be distancing itself from the government and the Remain campaign. In fact they refer to this budget proposal as being I don't know if The Guardian is following the momentum of the polls,hoping to back the winner or if they are simply taking a pragmatic and neutral stance in the campaign. It is refreshing to see their skepticism.

Newspaper websites across the board are condemning Osborne's ploy:

Once again, I would like to refer you to this wonderful sketch of the sadistic headmaster from Not The Nine O'Clock News with Rowan Atkinson and Griff Rhys Jones:

George Osborne has been making friends and influencing people again

George Osborne has been making friends and influencing people again with his threats of an austerity ridden budget to follow any Brexit and the implication that he will do a scorched earth policy on the British economy and people if we dare to vote for a Brexit. this is a new low in his campaigning style. The Daily Telegraph covered it here:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/15/has-george-osbornes-brexit-budget-ruined-his-last-chance-of-beco/

I think Osborne should resign over his campaigning, which is like that of a perverse schoolmaster who is keen to give all his pupils a good spanking for defying his will, rather like this great sketch from Not The Nine O'Clock News with Rowan Atkinson and Griff Rhys Jones:

I wonder if this will shift the opinion polls and if Cameron will eventually sack Osborne, regardless of the result of the referendum.
