Aye that too.

Now here's 10 good reasons why you should vote Leave:

1. Freedom to make stronger trade deals with other nations.

2. Freedom to spend UK resources presently through EU membership in the UK to the advantage of our citizens.

3. Freedom to control our national borders.

4. Freedom to restore Britain’s special legal system.

5. Freedom to deregulate the EU’s costly mass of laws.

6. Freedom to make major savings for British consumers.

7. Freedom to improve the British economy and generate more jobs.

8. Freedom to regenerate Britain’s fisheries.

9. Freedom to save the NHS from EU threats to undermine it by harmonising healthcare across the EU, and to reduce welfare payments to non-UK EU citizens.

10. Freedom to restore British customs and traditions.

I'm afraid the only freedom it would give Brian is for more right wing xenophobic swivel eyed loon Tories to give more tax cuts to the rich, and dispense with any protections the low paid workers have left. They have 4 more years in power whatever the result of this referendum. The last thing you'd get is freedom.

IMOH the EU isn't going to change for the better in the future so it's not just the status quo that we'll be voting to leave, we'll be avoiding yet more of what the EU decides is good for us.

I think it depends on how the referendum goes and the scale of defeat if it's a Leave vote as to how long they have left in power. The problem there is who to put in their place as I think Labour are, despite what the top ones say, heading for a Leadership election.

Couldn't agree more. As I said a vote to remain and we ask for what we'll get. Simple as that.

Quote:

Luke Flanagan MEP, an Irish independent, took the video last week as he tried to lift the lid on what he jokingly refers to as “democratic oversight”.

The video begins with Mr. Flanagan making his way to the reading room before being told to surrender any electronic devices and enter the room “quickly” with just a pencil and paper.

When it emerges that Mr. Flanagan has been copying the text of the documents in front of him, he is ejected from the room and told to contact the Chairman of the Committee on International Trade, Bernd Lange.

Mr. Lange’s staff tells Mr. Flanagan: “The fact that these confidential documents can be consulted in the premises of the European Parliament has been a great achievement for this institution and has enabled us MEPs to better exert our role of parliamentary scrutiny of these negotiations”.

But Mr. Flanagan assets that there is no scrutiny, as MEPs as elected representatives of the people have no say in the documents or negotiations, but are simply allowed to read the details that have already been agreed upon by European Union and United States negotiators.

“The texts I’m going to view, they have already been decided on,” he says, adding: “It’s important to point out that all I do is get a chance to read them”.
We are being stitched up on TTIP.....

Anyhoo Wha takes any notice of what Trump says. If, and God forbid, he's the next President of the USA and he thinks we should ditch the EU, at least we'll get great trade deals.

All we'll get is nuclear armageddon Brian, at which point EU membership will be academic.
