    Add to that the employment rights which we as workers have as result of being in Europe, rights which this Government want to take away. The real issue is how do we stand up to multinational companies. The answer is not to reduce our size and bargaining power by going back to being a little island of the coast of a major power.

    If we leave the large companies will only stay if they think they can pay you and me less and be able to sack us at the drop of a hat with no employment rights. We must stay in, but at the same time start to organise at a pan European level as trade unions and give more power to the European Parliament and remove it from the appointed commission.

    So then, as the 5th largest economy in the world, if we leave we will immediately go back to Dickensian levels of living, stop trading with everybody, close the Country to isolate ourselves as the sky falls and we disappear.
    The inners say that we don't know what will happen if we leave although they keep giving out a doomsday scenario (project fear)
    This is the same situation for a battered wife, stay with the husband because you know what's what.
    By the way, good luck organising a pan European trade union as anything which threatens the eu will not be allowed.

    About Marr interviewing Boris. He interrupted Boris 57 times.

    I really can't remember how life was so much worse in the UK before Heath dragged us into this club. Also, we have spent over 500 billion in contributions since 1973. can anyone on here justify this much money as "value for money" Britain is full of people who play down the UK's role on the world stage, outside of the UK, we are viewed as a big hitter, we should be confident we can negotiate our own deals away from the restrictive laws placed on us by Brussels. But, I fear the scaremongering will almost certainly mean an "In" vote. So after we are even more overrun with migrants and our laws are being made by faceless beaurocrats in Belgium maybe would could reflect "what if" and at the same time make sure our monthly cheque for over 10 million gets cashed to prop up Greece, Portugal, Italy etc etc https://fullfact.org/economy/our-eu-membership-fee-55-million/

    The inners say we need to be in to have influence over them.
    We have voted against EU proposals 72 times and EVERY time we lost.
    EU 72 - UK 0
    That is the influence we have.

    Also, we buy £60 billion more from them than they do from us each year.
    Instead of having to pay them to be able to trade with them, they should pay us.

    The Kinnocks Dad Mother and Son earn approx a million pound a year each, I just can't put my finger on the reason they don't want us to leave the EU.
