Wave goodbye to local authority and charity services you thought the government pays for, if you vote to Leave the EU. The government does not and will not pay for services you currently take for granted and you probably think are paid for by the government - the government cut funding in 2010 and repeatedly since then, forcing councils, schools and lots of other organisations to become charities in order to compete for funding from the lottery and from the major EU funding streams. I know because I write the funding applications! Goodbye services for children, disabled people, hospitals, the elderly, community transport, adult education, libraries, theatres and parks all paid for by the European Social Fund. Goodbye town centre rejuvenation projects, small businesses, inland waterways and transport all paid for by the European Regional Development Fund. And hello massive hikes in council tax and hello fracking companies and nuclear power stations on your doorstep, massive corporate building projects in the countryside and privatisation of schools as your council makes desperate attempts to make up the shortfall.
Even the National Institute of Statistics has openly published a statement to say that the Leave campaign are lying about the figures they're using. Please wake up to the social impact of leaving the EU and vote with your conscience not your pride.
Lisa Marie Trump, June 2016
This is one of the forgotten bits of information that's got drowned out by the shouting.
Please vote Remain. If you're not sure, vote Remain as we can always Leave later, by an act of parliament (referendum not needed). If we Leave we are out forever unless all 27 countries vote us back, which they won't because we will be seen as being disloyal.
