    Well these were the rough figures some time ago, I would think that the foreign aid is more than £10 now, I would also hazard a guess that the deficit hasnt been brought down as promised by obsourne and as a result our national debt has increased. Do you know who else has a large national debt, Greece. That is the direction in which we are heading.

    Also everyone presume's scotland wanna be in the EU, Yesterday's polls show differently http://www.scotsman.com/news/eu-referendum-poll-brexit-vote-on-the-rise-1-4153974

    I get alot of you are scared about leaving the EU, the consequences and benefits are unknown and that can be extremely scary to alot of people. But this country will continue, adjustments would need to be made, but we would have our own identity, our own laws, we could chose to spend our money on what we want. We would be out of the single market which yeah ensures we avoid a 3% tariff, but at least we wouldnt be paying a 7% fee to be in it.

    naturally with change comes fear, but the thought of leaving the EU excites me, the possibilities are endless, getting our nationality back and maybe helping ourselves out a bit more rather than trying to appease everyone else.

    from 1:18 to 1:45 is everything you need to know.

    a) Economists almost universally agree we'll be worse off it's just a question of how much

    b) Turkey is not joining the EU any time soon or probably at all

    The first point is enough for me. Most policies which make one group better makes another group worse, here i can vote for something which is financially best for me, my family and - incidentally - the rest of the country too. Makes it an easy decision in my eyes.

    Scared, afraid, fear. You've been listening to Farage too much, people aren't voting remain because they're scared of change they're voting because almost every business, trade union, expert, scientist, economist and politician is saying it's best
    for the country. The only people against it are a minority of businesses, the least trustworthy politicians and the murdoch press. If I'm scared of anything it the idea of those guys having more power but if you want to vote for them its your call. Personally i wouldnt trust murdoch, gove, boris or ids with... well anything.

    Just put £10 on Remain to win by at least 10%. Bit of a gamble as I suspect that it will be 6% - 8% but it makes things interesting

    Yeah we'll be worse off short term. The leave group admit this.

    We'll come back stronger though once we have built up our trade deals, I firmly believe that.

    Economists are like weathermen, they can tell you what is happening today but anything beyond that is a guessing game based on past trends and theory, the world economy is like the weather in that there are so many variables that even with the most powerful technology nobody can accurately predict what is really going to happen.

    All talk about economy, migration and trade obscures the reality that the EU is undemocratic and unaccountable, the idea that we can remain within and reform this is spurious at best, in all ways we will be outvoted and beaten down by the central powers of the EU, rest assured that if this country votes to remain that we will be regretting it within weeks when the reality of how little influence Cameron has and the full might of the EU's power grab falls upon us, it will be too late as we will never have another vote.
