Edited by -TUX- (07 Jun 2016 11.00am) My concern is that the cost of rent and the cost of a mortgage are both eye wateringly high, compared to individuals income. I don't think it matters if you own a home, or pay rent, provided the costs are reasonable. The fact that people are paying between 50-75% of their income on accommodation is the problem. Somewhere to live is a human need, it has unfortunately become a tool of human greed, and the failure of success UK governments to regulate and control the Housing market and rental markets, along with the sell off of council property has created a f**king monster. There is also a huge knock on effect in terms of welfare, given that housing benefit, that's probably close to 800-1200 a month per family (maybe more in some areas). We pay around 6-8k per adult for every thing else in benefits, but around 12k per year per family for Housing benefits.

It's a simplistic view of things..fair enough. But a vote out will see the economy suffer in the short term as it re positions itself to meet a new dawn...as such jobs will be lost banks will be a little edgier about who they loan to, meaning fewer able to purchase properties reducing demand and therefore pulling the market back down with it.

Originally posted by since1953 I listened to David Cameron's speech yesterday (I think it was at the Oval cricket ground) and he talked about staying in a "reformed" EU. It seems to me that when he tried to change something in our favour he returned home with his trousers around his ankles and a smacked bottom. Nobody knows what the outcome on trade will be should we decide to leave, but one thing is certain: the German,French,Italian and Spanish car manufactures won't be imposing high tariffs on us because we'll simply go elsewhere for our cars. Likewise for food and drink. Commonsense won't change their minds sadly....

As for Boris and piccanninies it is totally unacceptable and a clearly racist term But he hasn't changed his mind about wanting to Nationalise the Railways and he knows this is expressly* forbidden by the EU, so why campaign to remain in?

Also, as I've said in another thread, Neill tore him to pieces over the EU forbidding nationalising of railways. COYP

Likewise for food and drink. Exactly. A reformed EU is not on the ballot paper. It's leave and change or more of the same. The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.
