I am not 100% sure because the "remainers" won't elucidate on this but I believe it will be a tax that goes to Brussels. Some forums are saying it has been held back until the referendum is over. I don't do social media but if you have access to Twitter or one of them maybe you can see what is being said........................ if anything.

I'll be voting to stay in. Practically everybody I know is voting to stay in. There are reasons to vote out, but they are far out weighed by the benefits and advantages of staying on the inside.

Vote out,i cant believe anything Cameron or Osbourne have said.Its all ,might, may,could,not anything positive.No Turks for 30 year says Cameron ?

And they brought in Blair and Major...........................think about that for ten seconds.
One of the biggest liars and one who gets a living from the EU using money we donate.

The problem that I have with that is that the UK has already opted out of the common currency and declared our intention to remain out of any 'European super state'. The French and the Germans have stated that that will leave the UK side-lined and without any real influence so we will be on the outside anyway.

Yes it is clear that we have little to no say in most things.

They're Politicians! You can tell they are lying because their mouths are open

Much as I loath & detest Osbourne, Cameron, B'Liar & Major, I hate Gove more than I hate all of them put together, so voting for the man, not the policies I'm still for staying.

Be nice if any of them had actually given us information so we could make an informed decision, rather than scaremongering and insulting each other. I guess there is none and that in 10 years time when everything has settled, if we leave we won't be any worse or better off overall, but we will have a short term depression to get through first.

I think I have gotten loads especially recently what with the ITV programmes. and all. Most of the frighteners seem to have come from the government machine.................the real scary prospects I can see from the daily goings on. That's why I need out.

Also this - about immigration

I think it is more what is wrong with Cameron.
He is no prophet and has no say so can make no claims.

I didnt say anything was wrong with Turks,Cameron said Turkey would not be allowed EU membership for 30 year,ask him why.What i do know is that my retirement pension that i have paid into all my life has been put back for a year but people who come here get benefits without putting anything in.Not hard to see where my first years pension went
