Leave
I don't want an unelected bunch of disinterested Eurocrats that don't give a stuff about our county making laws that I have to live by. That's what we have our own Government for. Not perfect I know. But a whole lot better than the undemocratic EU regime. At least we can vote MPs out every 5 years. We cannot do that to the EU commission who make up laws behind closed doors.
I do not want our supreme court trumped by sny other court on the world including the EU supreme court. Our judicial system is fine as it is. We do not need interfering overpaid busy bodies poking their nose into our affairs.
I do not want the free moment of terrorists. Even remainers acknowledge our open borders pose a threat to our country.
I want my daughters to be able to wear what they like and not be told to dress up in some subservient gown in case it offends or causes some types to think they are fair game to be raped. Some cultures do not mix despite all the social engineering from PC units in Government. See Cologne for evidence of this. That was sheer abuse of women's rights and violation of their person. Mass rape is a form of terrorism and I do not want that imported because we cannot control our borders. That story was covered up as it wasn't good PR for the EU. Another disgusting attribute of the EU. Covering up bad news. Thank goodness the Internet, so far, has enabled the general public to rumble events like this.
I do not subscribe to the EU discriminatory migration process. The UK should be able to choose migrants from anywhere in the world on an equal footing. Non EU migrants have to jump through hoops to get here. Migration yes of course we need it when we have jobs on offer that cannot be filled by a native. What on earth is the point of employing migrants only to leave a native unemployed? We need a fair migration system that enables anyone from anywhere in the world to be able to come and work here if their skills are in short supply just like Australia, NZ and the USA. There are very few countries in the world where you can just turn up and have the same or better rights than the natives. Not because they are racist, but because they are sensible.
The argument about the economy cannot be proven one way or the other if we stay or leave. Osborne trying to convince us we'll be worse off in 14 years if we leave is such utter nonsense, I am astonished anyone even takes him seriously any longer. The man can't even predict the figures for the next year accurately, let alone in 14 years time. He said he'd balance our books by 2015. We're still borrowing 69bn a year. It would be like the same as the met office giving us a 14 year weather forecast. Would you take that seriously?
For all we know, the EU might be a complete and utter social mess and financially bankrupt in 14 years and if we're shackled to it, we'll be dragged down that giant plug hole with them. The EU will bleed us dry in an attempt to keep their regime breathing. Just see what they do when a country like ours out performs them. They send in a surcharge bill. The last one we found out about was for £1.7bn. Cameron described it as appalling but he had to pay it. EU rules. We could have built three brand new hospitals and paid the doctors with that money. Or we could have built 10,300 new homes.
In my opinion, t in 14 years time, we stand an equal chance of being better off out of the EU as we would in. It's an evens chance.
On the trading front, countries around the world have been trading for hundreds of years, both with and without formal trading agreements. We did it before the EU was conceived and we will do it when we leave.
How many business leaders in the EU are simply going to stop trading with the UK. The notion is a nonsense. The Germans need and want to sell us Beemers and Mercs, the French need and want to sell us wine and Champagne, the Italians need and need and want to sell us clothes, the Spanish want to sell us olive oil, need I go on.
If the EU commission tries to stop the EU and UK firms trading, there will be serious repercussions for everyone. Everyone loses, not just the UK. The notion that somehow the EU will be just fine losing the UK as a customer without consequence to them is nonsensical.
Germany and France will be left on the hook to subsidise the other 25 counties and the joy of subsidising Turkey, Albania and goodness knows how many more poor countries waiting to join to get handouts from the EU courtesy of the UK taxpayer. The German people are showing clear signs of dissent at Merkel. The Greeks will need a few hundred billion Euro soon. The Spain and Italy have terrible youth unemployment. Shengen counties putting up fences ... free movement when it suits them. The EU bloc is debt ridden with social chaos.
Want to be shackled to the EU shambles?
The EU is economically stagnant compared to Asia. Money is flowing from west to east. The west is borrowing money getting further into debt meanwhile the east is stocking up on gold. Why on earth would we want to be shackled to an economically decaying federal state of Europe with it's civil unrest caused by unchecked migration into the EU, including according to Europol thousands of terrorists. You can't make this stuff up ... it's like some dystopian Orwellian novel in the making.
The UK is good enough to seek her own destiny and I get mightily fed up with people from Cameron downwards trying to convince me we need to be in the EU to succeed. We're the 5th or 6th largest economy in the world. Much smaller countries survive outside the EU and so can we.
The EU needs us. It needs our imports, it needs our juicy subscriptions. What is more, as we become more successful, the EU will send us ever increasing subscription bills. And just who is going to pay for the other 5 poor countries the are slated to join? Answer. The British taxpayer. Happy about that? The news is that we're paying a staggering £2bn to help Turkey to help her join. That's equivalent to another three new hospitals and wages for the doctors or another 12,120 new homes.
Cameron, Osborne and their chums are far too keen, read desperate, for us to remain. They have never given us a balanced view of in or out. I am suspicious.
Had the EU remained purely a trading bloc, then fine. But it has morphed into a Eurostate of 28 countries of which 3 are subsidising the other 25. As more poor countries join, we'll need to pay in more and more until we're bled dry and end up just as poor as all the others. The EU, spreading poverty evenly among all members states. I don't see any wealthy countries queuing up to join; no prizes for guessing why.
The upsides of remain are well and truly trumped by the downsides.
In conclusion:
Trade with the EU ... Yes
Ruled by the EU ... No
End of.
I'm out.
