I meant to write something tongue in cheek at the bottom when I posted that, bloody dog was in the garden barking at the window cleaner so I pressed reply.
All these suits coming out saying this that and the other will NEVER happen if we vote leave are just bluffing. Of course they want Remain, saves them the hassle of having to implement any change. But let's not be so naive as to think they'll stand firm on this unwavering stance of 'out means out'.
 
Im going to vote leave, the immigration issue in this country has reached an alarming level, hopefully we can still save whats left of the British values before it gets to bad.
 
After considerable deliberation, I've come out for as "Remain". If anyone thinks BREXIT is going to be anything other than a shot in the arm to those who want to make labour legislation more punitive or as a means to ramp up anti refugee, anti immigration and racist rhetoric then they need their head examining. That it will also be used as a fig leaf to cover up the failures (for us) of austerity, seems also quite obvious.Let's get real here, BREXIT isnt going to mean more social spending on the NHS or education - it's not something designed with our interests at heart. Sure, the EU isn't perfect but then it's about what puts us (the majority, not the bosses and the elite) in the strongest position to move forwards in the future. Free movement of labour and transnational economic integration is a good thing ultimately.
At core, we need a completely different economic model to that which, quite clearly is failing, as well as a strategy to get there. Voting Remain creates a breathing space and hacks off those who really don't care about stagnating pay, declining living standards or anything that benefits us socially or protection of the environment.
Remember, also it will be antagonising those who are our worst enemies. Keep the nightmare thought of the boot of Nigel Farage on our collective face for decades to come.

Or in short: voting remain but we really need a revolution! :)
