Apparently Greece are now threatening to veto Britain’s EU deal should other member states choose to close their borders to refugees. This is the same Greece that have been propped up by EU money for the past two years now dictating what Britain can and can’t do. Oh the irony.
propped up or saddled with unsustainable debts and forced to sell public assets to private companies as part of the deal?

I agree with you here Nicky and they, the ordinary people, have been truly shafted but what this does do is highlight 1) the importance/priority of issues as you say and, 2) that you will always have these a) disagreements or, b) countries having serious problems because they do not meet the requirements as in the Eurozone crisis. Funny that decades when it was economic the Labour MP opposed EU treaties and now it's in their underpants. If any of the tories had the balls they'd negotiate deals over different issues but this is where they don't want to have to earn their corn. They earn their wages in 4 months up to an election. That is when their future is in doubt for 5 years further than that. Give them a negotiation or a job to do and the useless f#ckers won't know where to start. Your working classes have been sold out for the sake of short-term figures and BS and it's a lot to do with apathy and continuing what's happened before. Well this stuff doesn't affect me but I'm voting for the struggling working class if the labour party ignore them. Will be interesting to see how the labor party deal with this kind of issue.

If we remain in, I want it to be for the benefit of ordinary people, not corporations. Is there anyone that can convince me that this would happen? If we leave, will I still be covered medically with an E111 card? Or will I no have to pay for medical treatment when visiting eu countries? Well remaining in is what the Multi nationals want ,free movement of people and a conveyor belt of cheap labour has seen their shareholders laughing all the way to the bank while 'ordinary people' have seen their own wages compressed .Its why we hear the CBI telling us the EU is good , yes good for them not for us. You will have to get travel insurance (as you should do anyway) when travelling to EU countries , The E111 or whatever its called now just gives you access to medical treatment ,it doesn't guarantee free treatment . Of course foreign nationals will also have to have insurance before accessing the NHS. Though the above are thoughts on EU membership they are probably not enough in themselves to leave. We are however losing sovereignty of our Parliament , we are becoming undemocratic with the unelected EU commission moulding our society and deciding our futures more and more .Regardless of trade deals , whether we gain financially or not, for reasons of Democracy , our hard fought for rights and Freedoms as Britons I'm voting out , I don't want ever closer union ,I don't want that flag , I don't want that anthem .

That old chestnut again....p!ease explain how we can renegotiate major additional changes by staying in, when Cameron could only negotiate very minor changes when we ARE IN IT!! And those changes WILL be voted out if the referendum keeps us in, be sure of that!!! They want our money, that's all they want us in the EU for! EXACTLY! Cameron's negotiations this last few weeks blows that argument right out of the water! He has achieved the square root of fcuk all.

Just like the Munich Agreement, yesterday’s concessions are also worth f@ck all. Having said that, Merkal has managed to take control of our country in a way that Hitler and his military might never managed to!

Much more chance of negotiating any ADDITIONAL future changes for The UK if we stay WITHIN UK. Otherwise, what you're proposing is akin to being the brash, arrogant gatecrasher at a party. You'd do well to focus upon both Sajid Javid & Theresa May's feedback today that astutely conveys the present situation. Even the Employment Secretary rates our Economy to be precarious and it is that factor that secures jobs; prosperity etc On a separate note, has anybody noticed how the six Cabinet Ministers who have OUT-ed themselves are effectively has-beens; not greatly appreciated individuals with the broader electorate and/ or fellow ministerial colleagues e.g. Gove vs. May & Teachers I've never trusted May in the slightest. She makes me shudder whenever I hear her speak. Gove is one of few that I've ever thought says what he truly thinks and doesn't just tow the party line. It says a lot to me and confirms my gut feeling on whether to leave or stay, seeing that he's the most prominent conservative in the out campaign.

The deal is really irrelevant as Cameron had not asked for any changes to freedom of movement or any repatriation of powers to the UK. In the final anaysis, Cameron always wanted to campaign to stay in the EU so only asked for minor changes.
