I think Gove has done a good job tonight in the Sky debate.
"Take back control" being his main message.
That £350 million per week came back to haunt him though. When he gave the rationale behind his claim he says that the rebate is not always guaranteed and can be reduced overtime. He is correct in that but he doesn't give any examples how it has been reduced, like that extra £1.8billion extra we had to pay the EU, half paid via a reduced rebate for example. I think that would have gave him more credibility in his claim.
I am puzzled by people asking for guarantees of no one loosing jobs!!
Off the top of my head who predicted the job losses of the demise of
Woolworths stores a stalwart of the High street and currently BHS another
High street stalwart and the likely hood of Tata in Wales closing? all lost
jobs and WHILE we are in EU.
So how can ANYONE predict what will happen
The UK is unable to intervene in helping Tata due to EU
rules, but the German Steel industry gets special low industry costs
for running their industries!
Anyway where were all these economists and alphabetical agencies and
heads of banks when the banks went down causing the last austerity we
are STILL going through. They didn't predict that!!
But all of a sudden they have become the standard of ACCURACY and
HONESTY Leave it out .......
Britain's nett. contributions to the EU in 2005 was 4.4 billion compared
with 8.1 billion in 2010, nearly doubled in 5 years! and it is set to increase
in forth coming years. If they had had a Swiss style agreement in 2010 there
would have been a saving of nearly 7 billion.
Membership of the EU single market comes with a very heavy regulatory price.
If the UK withdraws from the single market there would probably be little
disruption to EU - UK trade, because quite simply disruption would not
be in the interest of those EU 27 countries, which run big surpluses
with the UK.

A perfect example of what we can and have achieved inside the EU. Basically f..k all! And if we Remain that will give the EU non-democrats a pass to run riot!

previous post above.

It really is informative and worth reading
Leave campaigners are concerned that a massive tax payer-funded push to register more than one million young people to vote will drastically alter the country’s European Union (EU) referendum result.
Government statistics reveal that in the past month alone, over 1.6 million people have registered to vote in the UK referendum on EU membership, with 900,000 of these registrations coming from those aged under 34 years.
While over 53 per cent of newly registered voters are younger people, just 27 per cent of new registrations are over 45, the group most likely to vote to leave the European Union. The rest (18.5 per cent) are from the 35-44 age bracket.
On June 3rd, in one day alone, a whopping 192,000 people registered to vote, with 51,700 of these being under 25, and 21,400 of these being between the ages of 25 and 34.
Don't worry. I know two of them and they registered last week and they are voting OUT. A high turn will result in a Leave vote.

Isn't that the truth. If one choose a non-eu foreign spouse its a nightmare and they recently made it worse. Now if you want your foreign spouse to come to live with you in England you have to have a minimum income of 18400 pounds a year, if less eg. 17500 then tough. And if you have kids you need much more. Its a disgrace!

Was speaking with a lady today who is visiting Scotland to see where her past relatives and ancestors came from. She is a nurse back in Oz. I asked her what if any thoughts she had about EU ref. She told me that at the moment it is very very difficult and expensive for an Australian nurse to come to the UK. They have to sit lots of exams and they have to fly to UK to do the exams. Costs a lot of money and time. She is hoping that an EU exit will make it easier for people like her from Oz to come here to work.
I think it's crazy we let in any number of foreigners and yet when it comes to 'our own people' living in places like Oz and NZ we make it so difficult.
