The French are protesting the removal of lower working hours than the WTD legislates for and lowering the protection from losing jobs, removing 'jobs for life'.

When I was working I got paid holidays and that was before the EU.
These things are and were available in the EU. You don't need the EU for them. Can you imagine the uproar if they tried taking them away after a Brexit. Think again.

Biggest consequence of us leaving will be French and German citizens wanting to get out as well and that's the real agenda behind all the threats and scare tactics they know damn if we leave it is no longer if the EU collapses but when it happens.

If the EU is so good, why use scare tactics? If it's that good we'll all vote to stay, surely?

Indeed. All of which can be achieved outside the EU without the red tape and expense of being in the EU.

In or out that is going to happen anyway. Who can you put in their place? It's happened in Scotland and will happen in R-UK as well.
