The whole issue is a minefield of double talk untruths exaggerations naysayers from all angles. The benefits from the U.K membership to me seem to be marginal.

The cost of belonging to this social welfare club seem mighty enormous.

The surrendering or interference in a nations rights and duties to its peoples concerning its legal framework, financial system and to a lesser degree border controls is reprehensible.

Any state, nation that enters the E.U should be self supporting not joining with their begging bowl out so as the more affluent nations (taxpayers) bail them out of trouble.

The gross distortion of the aims of the original E.U. which then were somewhat ambiguous have contributed to this debacle.

The U.K. pound is taking a hammering at the moment ,however I think that although the pound will drop further it will rally even if the U.K were to leave the E.U.

The lines are being drawn both within the U.K and Europe now for an economic, social and political battle that is going to determine the future and stability of both th U.K AND Europe and its peoples and also the rest of the world. It will be very interesting to see what those those results may be in both the near and distant foreseeable future.

Perhaps in truth this is World War Three, an economic war as opposed to a military campaign, however the casualties and the resultant winners and scene will be just as it has been in wars in the past.

I'm bloody glad I'm an old man and thus the resultant outcome won't impact upon me very much time wise.

I'm in favour of staying in, but I'm ambivalent about the result as a Brexit will lead to Scottish independence. So I will vote to stay in, and knowing the Brexit plays into "my," hands.

Our forefathers would have paid £55 million a day to ensure no war in Europe. As it has turned out, not a single shot has been fired in anger between EU member states since its inception - that is beyond wonderful. The only people who underestimate that are the people who have never seen war.

Also starvation has been banished from our continent. The food supply is at a point beyond the wildest dreams of Queen Victoria, where the common man can walk into high street shops and pick up the finest foods in the world.

I'm all in favour of swallowing up former Soviet bloc countries, many of whom share a common cultural heritage with the UK. Anything that injures Russia, my hand is up. People are way too fast to forget the damage that country did to our continent for decades. And as long as Putin is on the loose, they are capable of rank stupidity.

If part of that swallowing process is giving these people access to our work market, so be it. However, I do agree that they should not be able to access benefits until it is established that they are in employment, and long term residents of the UK.

Take my drum to England, hang et by the shore, Strike et when your powder’s runnin’ low; If the Dons sight Devon, I’ll quit the port o’ Heaven, An’ drum them up the Channel as we drummed them long ago.

Perhaps we may soon hear a tune from this.

Linked to the return of King Arthur perhaps.

It has been foretold: In the hour of Britain's greatest need, King Arthur will return to rescue his people.
