Well people weren't listening to the 'experts' either who Leave have made clear they've 'had enough off'. Maybe Remain thought they would get people who aren't experts instead. Never mind though, Leave always have Keith Chegwin.

One of the complaints about the experts, other than their sinister approach to learning, is that they failed to predict the 2008 crash. Well, one of the few economists who did predict is is joining the other 90% of economists in saying bad idea.

Turkey isn't joining any time soon:

Quote:
In brief: Turkey is a candidate to join the EU. But it’s unlikely to join any time soon. There are tensions to be resolved over Cyprus before aspects of the negotiation can even be opened, and the EU has concerns over Turkey’s human rights record. If and when the negotiations finish, Turkey must get approval to join from each existing EU member. Some are opposed to, or planning to hold a referendum on, Turkish membership. Support for membership among the Turkish population has declined since 2010.
