    EU Referendum Tomorrow....

    Ladies & Gents with permission from Doug (badger) he has given me the green light to post this thread. (as its not political as such but a yes or no vote for all in the UK)

    Anyone in the UK will know its a big day tomorrow 23/06/16, we get the chance to vote to remain or leave the European Union.

    To some its an easy decision to others its quite hard, as we can't predict the future, think most of us (on here) have made our decision long ago, but for others who are on the fence then the clip or link below will give some facts that are not given in the leave or stay campaigns.....

    So if your other half or friends are unsure then pass on this link or tell them about it, I found it very interesting and a real eye opener regarding the commission.

    Myself I,m an out man and have been for a long time I,d like to see the "Great" put back in Great Britainicon, but this youtube clip has given me another reason to put my cross in the out box tomorrow.

    Please I don't want this to be political I asked Doug if I could post it and he agreed, so lets stick to Milsurps rules etc. its not a discussion regarding our beliefs or politics its probably one of the biggest votes we will have to make in the UK.

    I'll be glad when it's ALL over... all the fear stories from all parties, no positive leadership from anyone
    I would like all our elected representatives to stand up and WORK for our benefit. Not wait and react to what comes out of Europe

    (Good to see that the referendum is NOT legally binding��)

    I hope we all have a fresh start, away from countries that have abused us long enough already as one of the richer nations in the union. I agreed to the Common Market not the EU and control from Brussels.
    We have helped poorer nations for too long, including those who have natural disasters that occur on a reguler basis. How often do you see EU money sent to help those who were flooded out for instance in the last 12 months in UKicon natural disasters..........none! It all seems to have been a one way ticket I'm afraid and the reason why I have had a gutful.

    £1.6 million a day is what we as a country put into Europe, if that figure is to be believed!!

    That alone, in the knowledge it is probably a lot higher, will give every Policemen/Firemen/Nurses/Doctors and our Armed Forces guys and gals a good wage to live on, and hopefully they can be provided with the right kit for the job for once in 40 years!!

    Fed up with the lies and retoric, lets just do it, and stand alone as we always seem to anyway since this all started, and then perhaps Brussels will leave us alone on the gun lobby side of things too

    To me the "remain" side is all about money which is a concern however isn't "freedom" worth the risk? I have talked to a few people who live in the UKicon and by a slight margin the majority support "leave" and I agree with them.

    I have read the many Dutch have had enough and are demanding a referendum, interesting.

    Not my battle being a Canadianicon however possibly it is, I honestly believe too many people in power believe in a One World Government.
    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?

    If the UK votes to leave the EU, I will go for my Britishicon citizenship (father was born in the UK so I can get my citizenship just by applying). If not, well, I don't see enough of a need to do so.

    I would vote out also if I was able to. Quite literally the EU benefits only the poorer member countries at the expense of the more successful. Then too, the EU ramrods its politically correct multi-cultural agenda - like it or not - down the throats of every man and dog.

    Guys,
    You know whats coming, as they lose control of the streets in Europe with regards to incidents and weapons control from those "unknowns" passing through their countries, they will hammer the legal and sensible "Gun Lobby" like us, to a point where there will be no more sport or weapons of any description held by the public legally.
    Thats what the European Parliament want over us now and are fighting for!
    How would Canadians and Americans feel, if outside countries tried to interfere in the same, thats why I'm OUT, its not their place to even consider it? It is for the relevant Parliament of that country to decide, not some hotch potch gathering of ill informed knee jerk idiots!
