According to them, the end of the world is nigh and there will an immediate cessation of trade with the EU if we leave !!!!

Ah it was such a splendid sunday afternoon enjoying the sunshine with Hoof. We know we are just footsoldiers for our respective causes so things could remain cordial for one day only. I explained to him that doing an economics degree wasnt entirely useless and indeed i learned some valuable life skills, like pool sharking, lighting farts and being able to drink a pint of bitter in 2.5 seconds. Hoof nodded in approval. I also commented that i didnt receive one bet for my compelling offer of 50 lap dances if any of his regiment could say that 99% of their DAY TO DAY legal stuff is not covered by uk law, but not even a single punt even from the more vocal members of the regiment including cucking, davemonkey, willo and Dannyh. "Them blo$dy english! Just cant rely on em" He hoofed. "You cant say THAT, i protested, thats bigoted" to which he replied "dont be a t*** johnyboy" er ok then but does this mean that there is a possibility you will become a Brighton supporter? Or perhaps danny, davemonkey, willo and cucking are softening towards the remain campaign? Hoof remained eerily silent.
We knew however that the sunny sunday could not last and that we had to return to our trenches the next day when talk of war would no doubt reemerge because some of us truly believe that the eu, with trade inderdependency, diplomacy and a shared economically prosperous future has led to the longest period of european peacetime - 80 YEARS! the longest of the last millenia (i accept i will be corrected on this one). As i left i understood that Hoof would be trying to get me in a half nelson, or beating seven bells of cyber stuffing out of me the next, "its all for King and country, you understand Johnyboy" hoof called out. "Yeh i understand hoof" i shrugged resigned to the knowledge that even with the impending threat of war announced by HIS prime-minister this morning, the real threat of Brexit still exists

In the name of balance, it won't also be the case that the UK will be overrun with tides of migrants and refugees whilst under the political yolk of the EU jack boot either, if it remains.

Hyperbole, on any side, cheapens the whole thing to a charade. I'm starting to think neither side actually has a valid argument, and that maybe they just have an agenda.

All joking aside there was Iraq and Afghanistan whilst the UK was in the EU.

We'll never die

It's more about peace within the EU but the Germans have learnt their lesson.

Which is what we will become. The European Trade Association, which means pretty much belonging to the EU in all but name.

In fact, the UK would be worse off if it went down this route. It would retain Free movement, EU trade obligations and be subject to much of the EU legislation, without the veto and will less capacity to influence the out come of EU decisions. It'd reduce our financial contribution, but then also reduce our capacity to EU grants and subsidies as well.

Realistically, the UK either needs to remain in, or completely out, so it can negotiate its relationship with the EU as an independent (the idea of the UK being completely separate from Europe isn't realistic - We have ties that predate the EU and our proximity means having to deal with the EU and EU influence, as an outsider.

The situation of Norway arguably delivers a lot more feeling of national sovereignty, but not the reality.
