EU Referendum: tell us what you think - chance to win £100! NOW CLOSED

Done. Is this the way to spend a Bank Holiday??

I agree with everything you say.
The UK would be far safer if we left the EU. at present every migrant that arrives at an EU country can come to the UK freely, we know nothing about who they are & where they come from!! We must remember that ISIS stated that they were sending their soldiers into the EU by having them pose as migrants!!

Re:Sweden, women from there are actually dying their hair to try & stop advances from migrant men & the elderly won't go out in the evening for fear of being mugged.Germany is having problems with migrants & it was Angela Merkel that gave them access!! Who made her head honcho of the EU??

Another reason why we should leave the EU is how illegal immigrants can come to the UK, break the law & when they are sentenced, they appeal through the EU courts & have the sentence UK gave them thrown out!!

Britain has to bow down to the EU demands & I believe the UK pays more into the EU than some other countries, I think each country should pay the same.

UK fishermen are having to stand by & let foreign vessels in to UK waters to fish & they have higher quotas that the UK vessels, how can this be fair?

We are slowly becoming a minority in our own country.Which I find quite scary.

VOTE to STAY IN!
The more we are connected with other communities and have to work with them the less likely are we to wage war on them. WARS MUST BE STOPPED! The present migration from Syria is due to open war-fare and the troubles in Africa are not helped with internal strife.
All my life, and way back in the late 1800s, members of my family have worked and lived in Europe. Married Europeans- French, German, Swiss, Belgian, Spanish. We are Europeans.

I've done the survey but in spite of keeping up to date with the referendum news I still have no clear understanding of what is best for the UK. I'm hoping that it will become clear before I walk into the polling booth in June. Perhaps the contributors on Gransnet will be more help than the politicians joggling for position!

Out, out, out ! The sooner this country regains its own controls the better. No more accountability to Europe, just ourselves. Trading will always carry on because the money people will ensure it does so threatening that we will suffer financially is, I think, just scaremongering.

Done -OUT.
Until the EU HAS PROPER DEMOCRATIC elections. We should have had a vote when we went from BEING JUST TRADING PARTNERS to the Ever Closer Union scenario - the forerunner of the proposed republic of europe.

I'm all for leaving the EU and getting back to where we are governed by our own Government and not by bureaucratic EU rules and regulations.

Done. I agree absolutely with Grandma14.

done - wanted to come out in 1975 [although that was the common market] and haven't changed my mind since. we're being bled dry by the eu and stacked to the gills with immigrants - we should be looking after our british citizens - old, disabled and young - before anyone else.
the money which goes to the eu [and overseas aid but that's another story] and immigrants would go a very long way to support our own .......... charity begins at home they say - britain is our home so that's where we should be looking.
btw - i'm not bothered about amazon - i buy wherever i can get a decent price and they've got decent prices.

Done. Stay

Done. Voted out. Everything said about what will happen if we leave is speculation but I know what it is like to be in it and I don't like it. The question about voting to stay in the EU in 1975 is incorrect as I voted to stay in the European Economic Community which was about trade.

I also want out - although I am sure the EU/Government response would be the same as happened in Ireland -"You voters didn't give the answer we wanted by wanting out, so we'll keep asking until you do..."
As one of the biggest contributors (and then so grateful to get a small portion returned!) it makes no economic sense to belong to this wasteful, unaccountable bureaucratic club.
Many lives lost in the last war were fighting for our country, not wanting to be "ruled" by Germany, which appears how things are now evolving. Charity begins at home and we cannot solve the problems of the world, the needs in this country need to be addressed first. Being patriotic is not racist.

Out Out Out
I want to spend my remaining days in a
Democracy not an EU Dictatorship!

where do I go to do the survey

Done and leave.

Very sad, really, all these people saying that migrants can come in regardless. If that was the case, why are there 4000 sitting at Calais still trying to get in?

If we come out of Europe, the border will very likely be in Kent, and it will be easier for the refugees to get in. No reason for the French to allow our border control to be in France then.

Not that I mind about that. I welcome refugees.

Some people on here could look at Full Fact, to find out as much information as possible before they make up their minds.
They are fact checking all claims from both sides.
They are independent, and even the Tory government uses their factfinds about various subjects.

Sorry, for some reason that was just the map.

Done. Out out out

I've done it and signed up for updates on your advice. durhamjen I hope it is unbiased. I also wish I was a bit brighter and understood the full details. I think I just don't trust any of our politicians anymore.

Done!

My first post on Gransnet.

I want OUT. How can anyone with any sense want remote rule by those in power in Brussels, lording it over our judges and making rules that we have to live by and charging us plenty with their extortionate salaries and expenses to do so. DEFINITELY OUT FOR ME!

I couldn't agree more boo2410 - definitely out.

There's a lot of shouting and chanting going on today - I feel a headache coming on

I've done the survey and I'll be voting to stay in.

Also opting to stay. The chance to complete a survey and say NO seems to be attracting lots of new names!
