Yes. Does freedom of movement create opportunities for my kids? Yes. Does insularity benefit us individually and as a country? No.
Things are not black and white even if some try to make things that way - UK good, EU bad, full stop. There are shades of grey.
So, in summary, is the EU wonderful? No. Was it the least worst option available at when a decision needed to made between leave and remain? Yes
