I have big doubts about the EU and countries such as Switzerland and Serbia should keep well away. For the UK though, we've been intricately woven into the fabric of the EU for more than 4 decades.
And leaving would be like having open heart surgery performed by Boris the Clown, i.e. very dangerous and almost certain to fail.
As for the EU rules for Tata, it's nonsense, as is evidenced in the same sentence above that proves that Germany and others can intervene in industry and even nationlise them if they want to. The UK government chose not to help, they also vetoed the EU from raising tariffs on Chinese steel which is being dumped in the EU and UK.
The EU already produces more steel than it needs. Member states agreed
to allow uneconomical producers to go bust, rather than allow governments
to save them, if they cant survive on their own.
Their governments hands ARE tied.
The loss of 15,000 jobs is simply NOT considered a serious enough disturbance
by the EU to justify a government handout.

Go figure, we have either a highly incompetent government or one working to a different agenda.
That says it all and proves that their wild speculation on the impacts on the economy is just what it is pure scaremongering and an insult to the British voter.

Lady Tory MP and ex GP defects to Remain.......traitor, plant or on the promise of a job?
Can or should she be trusted? Should she be treated with contempt?
This just 2 weeks before the referendum smacks of it being planned all along or this MP has been got at!
So for 3 months she is OUT then 2 weeks to go she is IN. This action cannot be trusted by anyone. This MP has little integrity.
And for someone who should know better about the poor situation with the NHS and its need for more money its a disgrace.
True! But her excuse is referring to it all. BS. No one in the Leave team has stated that it would all be used for the NHS, the figure referred to was 100m a week which seems fair and appropriate if sharing around is the idea. The others would be social housing and education and what about a bit to collect up all those immigrants who are either illegal or should ship home for whatever reason.

Indecisive? Trains to be a doctor and becomes an MP? Hope i never have
to be diagnosed by her for something serious!!

Integrity!!??
There will be a LOT more of that in the bag waiting to come out
in the next two weeks .... to terrify those who are weak enough to be terrified.
And for someone who should know better about the poor situation with the NHS and its need for more money its a disgrace.
Nobody has said that ALL the money saved by no longer having to
pay into the EU coffers will benefit only the NHS.... but there is a huge amount
to divvy up between ALL our UK needs. Which can only be a PLUS
Did not know that, but why?

Did you know that the Police force in Scotland known as Police Scotland are the only UK Police force who have to pay VAT.
In the 3 years it has existed it has paid £76M in VAT. Can anyone explain why that is ? I'm putting this here because the rules on VAT we are told are governed by EU. So maybe it's something to do with EU. That amount equates to about £15 for every Scot. If England had to pay the same amount it would be about £1Billion.

Latest from Pollstation after over 117,470 votes is 81% Leave.

And believe me they are. The pollstation numbers reflect my experience and many others that 4 out of 5 are voting OUT. I think a lady chat/debate host on sky news (cant remember her name) said she thought that the remain vote would be 10 to 15%. And I dont trust the bookies who have remain at 2/7 or 1/4 on. Half of the favourites set at this price by the bookies lose! Sovereignty, Control, Immigration Impacts are the big issues for most. The remain camp cant win that argument.

Something wrong with that poll, unless all the other pollsters are lying for the govt.
