So many blinkered views. Last of mine as ignorance and prejudice and 'staying apart' and moaning that the grass is always greener or 'different' somewhere else will never be assuaged.

Together is good, apart is bad. It takes time. Understand history and you'll know that...Farrage is on about the blooming Magna Carta this morning, 1215, over 800 years ago. The UK is far from harmonious, equal or 'perfect' by a long chalk even yet.

The European project meanwhile, which we are seeing evolve in all manner of weird and wonderful ways has been really going for 60 years, and with us involved in a meaningful way just 40 or so. Even the US as wonderful as they think they are, didn't become a 'union' in that time...

But ultimately they knew that together is good, apart is bad. California probably contributes as much to help out, I dunno, North Dakota, than we contribute to the EU. They were a hitch-potch of races, cultures and tongues, and somehow it came together.

Would they change now? And if language was the key, which largely it was, then last weekend's Eurovision Song Contest should show that in that area too we will get our way with each succeeding generation...

Brexit is backward looking as is any breakup. Even the blooming Soviet Bloc shows that as Russia gets even more isolated. Let's move forward and be pals, and be more like Leicester City and win together!

Barclays will make you wealthier on June 24th if the vote is remain and buy now. A win double with the Palace. Lol.

living wage over £320 a week
old age pension today £115 a week

because most could not save or have a private pension

if £320 is around the living wage it should be the pension
unemployed can get 20k tax free more than the avge low paid
the whole system is wrong

A pact between David Cameron and big business to scare Britain into staying in the EU was exposed last night.

A leaked letter suggests the Prime Minister was plotting with a multinational firm on how to hammer home the Remain case while still claiming he was prepared to campaign to leave.

He had been telling the Commons that he ‘ruled nothing out’ unless he won concessions from the EU.

The secret ‘mobilisation’ plan involved asking FTSE 500 companies to put in their annual reports warnings about the dangers of Brexit.

The strategy was discussed in a letter from Serco boss Rupert Soames to Mr Cameron 11 days before the latter’s renegotiation deal with the EU was complete. This followed a meeting a few days earlier.

The EU faces a "populist uprising" if it fails to take control of the migration crisis, Britain's former MI6 chief has warned.

Sir Richard Dearlove also fears offering visa-free access to millions in Turkey is like the European Union "storing gasoline next to the fire”.

The head of the Secret Intelligence Service until 2004, who has previously claimed the impact of leaving the EU on Britain’s security would be low, believes the UK referendum will be the "first roll of the dice in a bigger geopolitical game".

His warnings come as key figures on opposing sides of the debate, including David Cameron and Boris Johnson, prepare to deliver a fresh round of speeches to voters as the referendum campaign battle intensifies.

I think most voters have a very very basic understanding or non at all of how the EU works....this In/Out EU vote is just a paper & pencil exercise.....

[portside1] 17/5/2016 07:43

the eu sends 44% more to the uk than the eu exports to the eu
so if we leave and they put in tariffs then we put in tariffs on their goods
we would be quids in big time

EU membership has not given the UK any "insider advantages" in trade with other European countries, a report by social policy think tank Civitas says.

It says trade with fellow EU nations makes up no more of the UK's trade with all top economies now than it did when it first joined the EEC in 1973.

The benefit of collectively negotiated EU free trade deals is also questioned.

The government says the EU share of UK trade has remained consistent because of a huge growth in other markets.

It seems to contradict analysis by the Confederation of British Industry.

The Civitas report - called Where's the Insider Advantage? - adds that EU membership does not appear to have benefitted UK service industries either, although it admits the data available on this is not so detailed.

The report, by corporate market researcher Michael Burrage, says: "There is no evidence to suggest that the 'heft' or 'clout' of the EU has helped secure more FTAs than those that might have been secured by independent negotiations.
