Juddian:
See i look at things differently.
I’m voting, not my wallet, and to be perfectly honest what it costs me personally is irrelevant, what it will cost the country in the future is at stake here.
This is our only chance to remove the EU dictatorship, and make no bones about it if you cannot remove those who propose the laws which your own castrated Parliament has no power to revoke, then you are living in a dictatorship.
So which laws exactly does our Parliament have no control over? In particular, which does it have no control over if it is willing to leave the EU (which is what Brexit is going to do, but not over any specific issue of disagreement)?
Germany is the big cheese in the EU, this is their push to rule Europe via wealth and not their usual route of gun.
But why do they need Britain to be in the EU for that?
Saddam wasn’t in the EU, and Western powers still overruled his sovereignty. Iran is not in the EU, and they’ve been sanctioned into compliance with Western rule.
If you’re happy to be ruled by the Germans and their cohorts in the EU Commission then thats fine vote to remain, just don’t complain about it when Frau Merkel orders us to take our ‘‘fair share’’ of the millions of migrants flooding into Europe which she and her kind invited.
But they’re getting Turkey to take them, and they aren’t even a member of the EU. And we get the French to hold them back at Calais. The only alternative to taking our fair share in an organised fashion, is to have a free-for-all between migrants and border guards up to the limits of the horror that those border guards are willing to inflict.
Because if you’ve put your family in a dinghy and sailed the high seas, and you meet a border guard who’s only agenda is to send you back, then you’re certainly going to fight the guard to get ashore (even if you have nothing against him otherwise). So now we need several more border guards per migrant, and we need to arm the guards with machineguns. And if you’ve got 20 migrants who’ve taken their chances across the high seas, they’ll certainly take their chances charging machine guns (just like soldiers do on enemy beaches, or inmates in concentration camps).
And if you’re pre-emptively machine-gunning people (even children) who are so desperate to flee that they’ll charge a machine gun for a chance of getting ashore, then soon you’ll see the police will machinegun starving British workers too, instead of finding food for Brits when the market economy falters. They did this at Peterloo.
The only counter to this relentless logic is that it causes the collapse of civilisation, because nations are not fundamentally threatened by even millions of migrants coming ashore, but they are threatened by any political logic which prices bullets and conflict below bread and peace, or which somehow thinks that desperate people whose lives are already imperilled can be held back by a gun (or any threat).
Don’t complain either when you eventually revolt at whats coming (economically financially and socially) and the jackboots of EU stormtroopers stomp up our high streets to quell the revolt.
Sorry, but this isn’t a decision for your wallet ladies and gents so don’t be bullied or bought like our leaders by big business, this is a vote for the rule of law and democracy of this country, which is under the same threat as it was circa 1940 but without the guns blazing.
And spare a thought if you will please for the millions of good men and women who died over the last 100 years and more defending these islands and the freedom you currently enjoy, they had to endure gunfire bombs and sheer hell to keep these islands free, and those who are thinking ‘‘whats in it for me’’ might just spare a few moments to reflect on this.
Freedom costs, it cost our forebears everything including their lives, it might cost us a few quid and some hard bloody work to rebuild our country into the fine decent place i was born into, sounds like we get the better deal than they did.
Ironically, our forebears died basically to set up the EU and impose peaceful law and order on European nations. What has changed since is not that the EU has become more aggressive, but that the social aims are increasingly abandoned in favour of the markets again - markets that have always destroyed wages, pensions, and settled lives whenever the market is prioritised above all other demands (including democracy).
Unless you’re leaving the EU in order to defect from the free markets (which is why some far-left Stalinist figures are for Brexit), then all you’re going to end up with is free markets without the vestiges of EU social protections, and without the political organisation to regulate the international marketplace.
