OK. Osbourne on Andrew Marr didn't do anything in my opinion to convince me to stay in the EU. Quite the opposite, in fact. Why would we want to stay in a Union that's flat on it's back with a dying economy when we can come out and concentrate on our own economy. He is looking to save £18 bn by the end of the decade. It doesn't take brains to realise if we came out the EU he could save more than that instead of taking it from those who can't afford it.
In my opinion the EU is a dying duck as far as the UK is concerned. It's heading towards closer political integration and the Eurozone is collapsing. They must sort out the economy then they may have a chance. I predict one country called Europa.
With Turkey seeking to join the EU, I can only see nothing but trouble with Migrants coming in through that route. They will be granted freedom of movement soon thought admittedly it will be a while before they are full members.

I agree there people claiming DLA that shouldn't be getting it and that something needs to be done about that. Recently, I had to fill in a back to work form which I find ridiculous as they know my situation. They know it's incurable and my circumstances will never change. Why go after the likes of me when they should be chasing the work-shy shisters who have no place on DLA. Later this year I'll have to prove myself unfit again having just given them the information as DLA is changing to PIP. And they wonder why we get angry?
Of course, I strayed off the subject sorry all.
