I don't think there's much chance of a sensible debate on it.
I'd expect to hear a lot more of the same from the British press...
- We give more that we get back
- We're awash with work shy immigrants
- It's pointless bureaucracy that only gives us straight vegetables
- Rule Britannia, we've got loads of money
- Faceless EU politicians taking away UK sovereigntyOne of the reasons UK right wingers want OUT is because it imposes what they see as socialist policy on them; workers rights.
Yet paradoxically, the main reason a lot of people want to stay IN is the advantage it gives to big business and the free movement of money.
Sadly, it'll all come down to how many jack waving Xenophobic middle Englanders turn out and vote.
If we do get an OUT and the economy goes into recession again, it could spell the end of the global economy. It'll be drawbridges up and every man for himself once governments start destabilising each others currency.
What I find fascinating is the rhetoric of the OUT campaign. It's exactly the same as the 'Yes' campaign during the referendum. A point of view they so fiercely opposed only two years ago.

- you have to admit tho that having a welfare state that can be abused by the eu population at large is pretty worrying tho for the uk taxpayertrooperbill
- True. But the UK benefits system pays a third of what the French welfare system does and around half of the Germans. People come here because of jobs.monoboy
