I wager the leaflets you are delivering are the same as the one just pushed through my door! It says "Not sure which way to vote on June 23?"

If so you should be ashamed of yourself. It is chock full of untrue assertions, or put in simple terms, lies! Just reading them made my blood boil. It appeals only to the xenophobic among us, and repeats 3 times the now totally discredited "£350 million a week" claim.

My hope is that ordinary, decent people (who I believe comprise the often silent majority of our fellow citizens) will see this for what it is. Blatant propaganda, Farage style, and it will have the reverse effect of that which is intended.

We won't be cut adrift like a plague ship. People will still want to sell us stuff and we are still part of NATO and the United Nations.

Being in the EU hinders us when negotiating with the rest of the World and means that any decisions are made for the good of Europe (that usualy means Germany and France) not Britain.

That last bit will be exacerbated if we leave, then? I happen to think mutual benefit is the way to go. Britain will benefit from other countries economies improving too, we can sell more stuff to others if they have money to spend. So being part of a collective negotiation would seem to help that, don't you think?

My definition of xenophobia matches that to be found in the OED:-

" Dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries"

Which is precisely what I meant when I used it. The ONLY way we will be able to reduce our need for immigration is if our economy declines, and so does the number of jobs. Leaving may well achieve that, but at what cost? If our economy doesn't decline so far (which I think unlikely) then we will still need immigration. Immigrants arrive for work. No work, no immigrants. More work, more immigrants. They would just come anyway, but from a wider spectrum than at present.

So to be prejudiced against EU migration is indeed to be xenophobic.

Switzerland aren't in teh EU and yet they have a much higher percentage of immigrants than the UK. It's a total fallacy thinking that leaving the EU will stem immigration. Also, don't forget the 1.5 million British citizens that live in other EU countries. WHat about them? If they have to return, that will put massive pressure on all the services you listed.

Not as prosperous as it should be and doing worse than the other trading zones. Peace has little to do with the EU despite the guff you hear from the Remains.
