IMMIGRATION

Britain can never control immigration until it leaves the European Union, because freedom of movement gives other EU citizens an automatic right to live here.
And gives out citizens the right to live aboard. Approx 1 million British citizens live in Spain alone. What will happen to them?

The Remain Campaign would have us believe the Jungle would move to Dover. Our Agreement with France has nothing to do with the EU. The French have said this agreement would not be effected by a Brexit. What is to stop the French saying we do not want to support the camp any more? Is that definite or an assumption on your part? We know what assume stands for.

CRIME

The European Arrest Warrant allows British citizens to be sent abroad and charged for crimes in foreign courts, often for minor offences. Exit would stop this.

Though this is a good point for remaining it's nothing that can't be kept or renegotiated after a Brexit.
Or us deporting other EC citizens in this country who commit minor crimes?

TRADE

Britain’s links with the EU are holding back its focus on emerging markets – there is no major trade deal with China or India, for example. Leaving would allow the UK to diversify its international links.

The In Campaign would have us believe we won't get a deal that suits us with the EU. Why not? How do they know?
45% of our exports are to the EU. 8% of EU exports are to the UK. Who will have the stronger hand in the negotiations? That 8% accounts for 55% of our imports btw


LAW

Too many of Britain’s laws are made overseas by dictates passed down from Brussels and rulings upheld by the European Court of Justice. UK courts must become sovereign again and make our own laws.
Name one Law that the EU has introduced that has had a negative impact on YOUR life. I give you a positive one to start with, the European Working Time Directive. That would never have been introduced into this country if it wasn't for the EU (both the Conservative government at the time, supported by Labour, opposed it and even took the EU to court to stop it)

JOBS

The danger to jobs has been over-exaggerated. By incentivising investment through low corporation tax and other perks Britain can flourish like the Scandinavian countries outside the EU.
How can you potentially lose 45% of your exports and jobs not be affected. Get real.

The Remain Campaign say a Brexit could cost 3 million Jobs. Again, how do they know this? Do they have a crystal ball or are doing as they did in the Scottish Independence Referendum and being told by Downing Street like the big boss's were that they must make sure they won't leave?

vOICE

Britain does not need the EU to prosper internationally. By re-engaging with the Commonwealth the UK can have just as much clout as it does from inside the EU. Again get real You complain about immigration and then want to re-engage with the nations that you probably don't want to deal with.

The Remain Campaign tell us our voice would be much smaller and no one would listen to a small island. Again I have to ask Why not? We have already proven what we can achieve on the world stage so why wouldn't they listen to us?
Sorted for you.
