I think Italy and Spain are doing ok in the EU and Germany get what they always wanted in being in charge of the whole of Europe, although without the death of the Jews.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Writing off their post war debt and shame in places like Greece and then no relaxing of demands they pay their recent debt off.

Respect commanded? I see none in kermit's post.
However, he does ask a salient question. Care to answer?

For me the biggest issue I have is that I have no clear understanding of the pro's and con's for either staying in or voting out.

Nowhere have I seen a plain, simple to understand list based on fact as to what either decision would mean for the british economy, public at large and myself.

Until that materialises people will simply vote (it at all) on supposition and emotion.

The Voice of Reason In An Otherwise Mediocre World

Great article from PaulMason about how we might all want to get out of the EU because of plans to force Greece into sinking refugee boats.

David Cameron’s obsession with negotiating a fig-leaf concession on migrant in-work benefits from Europe seems, when set against the scale of the historic challenge, small. Jeremy Corbyn’s trip to Calais did not even ask the roaring questions: what should Germany do; what should the Commission do; what should the UK Border Force do? By reverting to gestures, British politicians are already signalling strategic disengagement with Europe’s migration crisis, which itself is feeding in to the negative popular perception of the EU.

There is a rising concern in British political circles that the next million refugees might tip the UK electorate into voting for Brexit. I suspect that’s too simple. The biggest threat to British consent for EU membership would be if the European Commission tries to force Greece to drown migrants, and then turns it into a quarantined prison camp when it refuses. People would rightly ask in whose name that was being done.

Michael offers unsubstantiated opinion.

So, do you agree with 'business leaders' or will you, like Corbyn and all the other geriatric revolutaries in the Labour Party, forgo deeply held principle that the EU is the 'bosses Union' and support EU membership because you can paint supporting exit as 'Britain First', 'swivel eyed (copyright Pefwin)' policy which is inherently driven by 'racism'?
