Hear hear! For all those who feel that the EU somehow restricts them personally. If they vote OUT then they are voting for the right to be exploited by less regulated employers who can further line their pockets by avoiding irritating EU environmental regulations. They are voting for the right to isolate themselves into the insignificant corner of north west europe that the uK will become.
Vote REMAIN!
well it is certainly a long and reasoned reply, could be likened to a party political speach. David's cousin writes that he does not want to see his grandson fight in a war - I agree, and of course the UK is not involved in any fighting anywhere in the world at the present time is it.
He also says, rightly, that 'Corporations dominate the politics of the USA, and they threaten democracy in the UK' and I agree; and I believe that one of first victims of a brexit would undoubtedly be the vile TTIP and so for that reason alone I believe a brexit is a wise course of action.
Why would a Brexit prevent an agreement between EU and the US? You seem to forget that the EU will continue (probably better) if the UK leave. It seems to be France at the moment who are fighting TTIP. Anyway the power of negotiation between the EU and the US is orders of magnitude greater than the UK on its own. The British Empire isn't suddenly going to return if the UK decides to sail off into the Atlantic. The UK will become an isolated inward looking nest of bigots and racists, oh wait, perhaps thats already happened? Thats why I left.
Bombing missions over Iraq?
An important point C is that very, very few people in the South have any interest in a united Ireland. The North is and will remain a Westminster problem regardless of Brexit or not.
Great idea Geoff, lets wind it up and have a third World War.
I really don't think the Telegraph counts as "a source" Tobias :-) It's the Telegraph's source that might count.
So do I Patrick.
Good post nick.
Good points David.
I don't know what IT company you worked for Ian but rewriting history wasn't an option in my old firm. Wish that it had been :-)

If that's the best you can do Geoff............
Superb synopsis.
Nah - definitely Python!
well John, I must confess that I don't have the time - or probably the knowledge to respond to David's cousin's submission as fully as I would like. His long and detailed plea for us to spread the word widely in favour of a 'not to leave' vote is so comprehensive it could have been written by a professional of the stay in lobby.
SO "The Word of the Perfect God" contained flaws?
Oh, my Satan, what a bring-down !
IMHO Geoff only an idiot would advocate leaving. I've really passed point of caring what pro exit folk think.
