I have always been Pro EU, but recently switched to out. I want to be pro but the pro campaign has never communicated a good argument which I can not find fault. Especially after this display from Johnson.
+Gordon Thanks the responds. But what about the large unskilled migration that goes on. Eastern europeans are not benefit scroungers, but minimum wage is higher here and we have an over supply of cheap labour so keep wages low. That only seems to benefit the large multinationals, but isn't really in our peoples interest. What would you says if I said that Europe holds us back trading internationally as more members are needed to be consulted in free trade agreements ie USA. We should of had one by now. And we can negotiate trade deals with expanding nations with the exceptions needed to make each member happy. In the long run I don't feel there would be a negative to the economy and the EU holds us back trading with the growing nations Also Euro member nations need more political integration to control fiscal policy so even in with the negatives we will have less influence. I feel by having a higher court than our national court undermines national sovereignty how does it not? Plus fishing and farming policy issues. Please resolve these issues I want to vote IN but each time I think about it it seems better to go. We have different needs and ideas to Europe it seems to me.
There should be a new reality show for Labour politicians where they have to study reality rather than just ruminating over their own idealistic delusions. Alan Johnson has produced so much methane in this interview that he's undoubtedly now a measurable climate change statistic.
Great Britain is the fifth largest economy in the world - we should look to be a powerful global player rather than a mute dummy in the EU. Every British person pays £300 a year to stay in the EU (that's after all the sums are done and we are given back some of the billions we pay in). This will increase once the Ukraine joins. [1] Youth unemployment is 48% in Greece, 45% in Spain and 39.3% in Italy. [2] Poland's minimum wage is £1.89 an hour. Cheap labour from 'Europe and elsewhere into catering, hotels and social care jobs has led to an average 2% pay cut'. [3] EU migrants 'have been found guilty of 146,100 crimes' in the UK since 2012. [4] 'Between 1997 and last year, 65% of the country's 2.7 million extra housing units' were taken by non-UK people. [5] 'One hundred thousand children are thought to have missed out on their first choice secondary school today as an escalating places crisis sweeps the country'. [6] The NHS paid almost £6.2 billion for expats but received only £405 million back for EU nationals. [7] EU fishing law says that 'keeping a bass off the British coast is liable to a fine of up to £50,000'. [8] Women had to pay a tax on sanitary pads for decades. New vacuum cleaners will be limited to 900 watts by 2017. Doctors' qualifications cannot be checked if they have an EU Pro Card in 2018. A catastrophic vote to stay (and you will not be given another chance to close Pandora's box for generations) will rubber stamp allowing in half a million people into this tiny island (the most densely populated in Europe after Malta) for generations with Greenbelt land concreted over and over for generations. Good luck trying to explain that to your children when they ask what happened to the fields in which they laughed and played in when they were young.
Always a good watch with Alan.

The peace argument would be out of date if we were at war with our neighbours, but we're not so it isn't.

I don't know why but I feel that the questions that this interviewer asks is are always biased in favour of the conservatives.
