Interesting Brexit video

Someone posted this onto a local forum I frequent. I thought it pretty much addressed all of the points for me. I'm not sure about the ending where it insists we will be forced into the Euro if we stay in the EU (though who knows what might happen in 20 years if they get their wish and we have a full federal Europe?)

    A well made video that started off making the case so well then degenerated into misrepresentations and more project fear.
    Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.

    I just watched the BBC News at 10pm. It was so biased in favour of remain it was quite laughable. It came close to a party political broadcast.
    In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:

    Surely if the scenario happened that we were going to be forced into the Euro down the line we would just hold another referendum and get a large majority to vote Leave.

    I would vote to leave if I thought we were about to get forced into the Euro with no way out but as that isn't going to happen, its not something I'm spending much time worrying about.

    I am a bit confused, it seems that the main thrust for the Outers seems to be immigration but don't the neo-liberals (who seem to be a large proportion of the Brexiteers) welcome immigration as part of a general laissez faire attitude that also embraces lower regulation. Just wondered.

    The key position of the brexit is to allowed to do what is best for the people of the UK.

    If the people of the UK wanted high immigration then that would be their decision, if they wanted low immigration than that would be their decision.

    It's not a difficult position to understand if you think deeply enough about it.

    Deeply?

    Isn't it blindingly obvious?

    I'm getting despondent....

    Most of the media favour remain (despite not being biased??) and I'm not hearing the out camp very clearly. I reckon this will be a remain vote, but not because of people knowing the facts, but not knowing/hearing the leave campaigns argument. pity....

    I would say the vast majority of the printed media (by readership in particular) is pro-Brexit.

    You're kidding, right?
    Daily Mail, Daily Express, The Times, The Telegraph and the Sun...which added up is about 3/4 total readership have been bombarding the gullibles with all kinds of anti-EU nonsense since the dawn of time. :)
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.
