Think the vote was 2/1 if memory serves. will be a lot closer this time though. And if it goes against Leave, what about the 49% who vote Leave? It's a very sizable minority if it turns out that way?
Thats democracy for you. In the 1950s there was over half a million people came into this country from the Caribbean alone. Before that it was estimated that there were just 20,000 foreign nationals living in the UK. That was about 20 years before we joined the EU. And along came Enoch Powell and warned us......

Let's go back to the pre-1950s shall we. It was ever so peaceful, with continuous hot sunny days, running in the meadows picking flowers. We never used to have any wars, bomb shelters, rationing. Or to the 70's where we never used to have blackouts, unemployment or cold wars. It was all so much better then. This EU has got a lot to answer for.
