Who would care to disagree with this man?
This is the guy who was mis-represented by the staff of number 10 Downing st a few months ago:-
Former British military commanders rallying for a Brexit

Plus it is taking away more power from countries and giving more say to the Weasels in Brussels. It will be very detrimental to our Forces if this were to happen. The EU have no backbone and way and if it does it is made of glass with a bit of yellow tinting.
We have NATO which is sufficient if not better. We can get just the same done and individual countries will have a say over their armed forces......But then again that takes the Dictatorship out of the the EU's hands

I am totally for Brexit and will be voting that way but I think it will be like flogging a dead horse. Because I don't think people in the country have the b@lls to say leave and they will vote for the life they know rather than a little bit of uncertainty until we as a country find our feet again. But I think what they fail to realise is that the life they know is going to change. The EU is gradually taking over more and more.
EU army, more control
EU Tax numbers, more control
I read somewhere EU police, more control
Bailing out of Greece (now they owe the EU and are in their pocket), more control
I suppose if I did more research I could find more.
It will be a shame when the day comes when we are sold out and just become a state within the EU and we loose all our countries identity...because it will happen.
We have been to war twice to defend our rights and to protect the people of the EU, I think they forget that when they are trying to roll us over. Yes I know people will think I am talking crap, but all of us are entitled to our own opinion, and after defending this country (this country not the EU) for 22 years I am entitled to mine.
Yes we vote for MEP's but we do not vote for the select few who 'so called' run the place, why is that, that is not democracy
Why have the EU never had to account for the monies they spend (waste)? Are they above it all?
Why so much hassle over trade?
What gives that snivelling wretch Junker the right to dictate to other countries?
Why won't they let the UK help its ailing Steel industry? Instead they are letting cheap Chinese sh!t3 come in to the EU
Why is it that other countries can catch more fish in our waters than we can?
Why are we paying Billions of £'s to support other countries? (When it could be better spent on our country) Surely if they can't afford to be in the so called "Club" then they should be asked to leave
Why are people claim benefits for children who are not even living in the UK?
Yes they might be little trivial things...But they all add up and if you think its right to do then fine
Yes I suppose younger generation will want to stay because the don't know anything different, but the older generation do. (or the majority of) It quite summed it up for the me the other morning and I think it was on BBC Breakfast when they were interviewing a family who were split over Brexit and the daughter said I am voting to stay because we get visa free travel (or words to that effect)....well if thats all she has to worry/think about!?

I couldn't care less whether we leave the Euro set up or not. Honestly, I just don't care. My life experience to date tells me that politicians are twats and none of them can be trusted no matter what they say. They will all voice their opinion, some will make a more convincing effort than others, but ultimately they couldn't give a toss what the ordinary person on the street thinks.
I have been eligible to vote for many, many years and I have never done it. I am somewhat disappointed in myself that I actually 'voted' on this poll
Needless to say I chose the 'I don't care' option.

Ain't that the truth...
I keep thinking back to a quote by Mark Twain.
"If voting made any difference, they wouldn't let us do it"

New ONS figures out this morning show that between December 2014 and December 2015 net migration was 330,000, up 20,000. Three times the government’s immigration target…
270,000 EU citizens migrated to Britain last year. Net EU migration was 184,000, an increase of 10,000 on the previous year.
The number of Romanian and Bulgarian migrants more than tripled from 17,000 to 52,000.
Remember, the true EU immigration figure is 250,000-a-year higher.

God wants you to vote remain
Hilariously, Downing Street & The Remain campaign have been caught out cynically coordinating yet another group in a letter to be published in a newspaper over the weekend, this time from religious leaders. BSE sent the text of the letter to Faiths Forum, asking them to get the signatures. Faiths Forum’s email to religious leaders has been leaked and it openly admits disguising that it is part of the official Remain campaign. The subject line rather gives it away…Subject: Britain Strong In Europe Campaign I received this email yesterday, and have been requested to circulate to faith leaders. They are coordinating a letter from religious and belief leaders pressing people to think very carefully before voting to leave the European Union. It reiterates the point so eloquently made in a different context by Pope Francis that faith should be about building bridges not erecting barriers. It says that so many of the issues about which people of faith care so passionately – from alleviating poverty to tackling climate change – depend on strong international institutions. It stops short of formally endorsing the remain campaign so as to avoid being overtly political. However, it would be seen as support from the signatories for Britain to remain in the EU, which is how we would present it. Remember children – every time you Vote Leave an angel will die

Stiffen those sinews Old Bean
We are going to win this and as our colonial cousins are wont to say “win big”. There is an understandable tendency when under attack by the relentless barrage from the 1%'s and their co-ordinated (by “Sir” Lynton Crosby – another of our colonial cousins) machine to feel disheartened but you know the difference between right & wrong, let that and that alone sustain you. You would not be a BREXITER if you didn't.
However, if you want a little extra third party encouragement let me share this with you; in a previous life I was a Options Trader, those people whom you used to see in trading pits screaming and making unfathomable (and sometimes VERY fathomable) hand gestures at one another! I know the city and its' cynicism and values – to wit PROFIT. It is the only value they have. The NASDAQ is a stock market many will have heard of. For the last three months they have been conducting a tracking poll asking for expectations for the June 23 EU referendum. Note that they do not have a stake in the referendum or a bias and only report the results in their poll, which have been heavily in favour of Brexit ( see latest Brexit poll results). What has been most glaring is the disparity between their poll and other on-line polls vs. public polls and bookmaker odds. Remember that the respondents are traders – they have no other motivation in their judgement other than profit i.e. where they are going to place their money based on their belief of the referendum outcome.
This disparity has led to the respondents to express one common concern, that the polls/vote will be manipulated, rigged, or fixed. Now the NASDAQ is not an institution swayed by conspiracy theory's so they looked a little more closely and the article is well worth a few minutes of your time reading:-
Exclusive: Brexit Poll Conspiracy? - NASDAQ.com
and remember, these are global traders with no “dog in the ring” other than profit:-
