I vote that we develop time travel and 20/20 hindsight.
Maybe General De Gaulles was trying to do us a favour by trying to keep us out all those years ago.
On a less silly note I have huge fears for the NHS whichever way the vote goes.
PS in my humble opinion MOST politicians are short term self serving pond life, not sure I can trust any of them; sadly

None of the arguments are worth listening to. Surely the answer can be worked out from basic common sense.
How big is the British Isles? How big is mainland Europe? Close the borders!
What country developed the British Standard system that the Systeme Internationale is based on? I wonder why people think standard of goods wonāt be regulated properly if we leaveā¦when WE showed the world how to do it and WE are the benchmark?
Donāt get me started, Iāll go on all night! Thereās moreā¦thereās much moreā¦
Flo for Go!

Thing is, you can use the āhow big is Britain, how big is Europeā thing to argue for remaining, as it will be much better for trade (and I know the Exit camp claim making our own trade deals will be a doddle, but everyone Iāve heard in the media whoās got experience of trade negotiations say the opposite & weāll come off worse).
Iām sure I could match all your arguments for leaving, but Iām bored of listening to the debate in the news, and I certainly donāt want to spend my evening having one

The European Medicines Agency is based in the UK and suspect that might change if we leave the EU. Apart from that, a change of Government would improve the issues you are concerned about.

Out!! Wonāt elaborate on why as wouldnāt want to upset anyone.
Letās just say I wouldnāt want to live in a refugee camp, which I suspect would happen should we remain in.

Itās interesting to note that last night, Conservative MP Sarah Wollaston, a former GP and chair of the health select committee, said sheās switching sides from the leave camp to the remain camp. Her reason is because she believes that leaving will damage the NHS.
Obviously, thatās her opinion, we donāt know for certain if that would happen. But Iām happy to assume she knows more than me about the implications for the NHS.

The EU funds research and development in all countries in the Union - all fields of research. However the UK gets more of that pot of funding than any other member country. If we leave the EU our share of that money will have to go to to the states remaining. University heads were saying this yesterday.
