With Just A Couple Of Days To Go..

…If you were asked for advice by someone who is undecided how to vote on Thursday, in as few words as possible, what would you say?

[HansUrbancka]

@DTCwordfan......The UK can say Yea or Nay to anyone outside of the EU who wishes to enter as an immigrant. However, that is Not the case to people from within the EU.

Hans.

[DTCwordfan]

sorry, France.....

[DTCwordfan]

of the net 300k gain, Hans....180k came from outside the EU....that is where the problem is. Most of the net 120k are in work - in fact down here, we have tourist businesses that can't even get UK students to work for them this summer, the same too for many businesses as to longer term employment, as the locals won't get off their rears and take the jobs up.

Why should you want workers in Cornwall? Don't tell me the pixies have gone on strike!

[DTCwordfan]

to serve you grockels bloody ice cream or fish and chips, clean up the lanes of all the mess that you throw into the hedgerows and change the sex-soiled and the rest bedsheets in the bedrooms of the inns, b&Bs and cottages that you stay in.

DTC, what has having been to France got to do with this?

[DTCwordfan]

read it, naomi, France going tits up.....that is one major concern for me, not just for the EU and us, but also the global economy.....

[DTCwordfan]

that would be a more plausible reason to be out than any of the other garbage I have heard - but the fallout will hit us hard, in or out, and we are probably better to be in, alongside Germany as the other major partner, to turn the screws of les francais.

[naomi24]

If you think things are that dire why aren't you jumping ship?

[jourdain2]

If you want a country and culture to bequeath to your grandchildren - vote Leave!

[Bigbad]

So, DTC, exactly which one of your 8 posts in the last half hour is your advice in as few words as possible?!

[cassa333]

A question for all those who think that we should stay in the EU because 'better the devil you know'

Why?

Would you be saying that to someone who's parntner knocks them about a bit?

[DTCwordfan]

France is but one issue, a major one though heading our way. I could have taken account of a Brexit position on this but not when it comes to the overall economy, the cost of recession as to wiping out the cost of any EU monies saved (if any) and the spurious immigration issue. I'm also adding that the EU is far from perfect but change from within using some decent politicians than what we have sent over there.

One more fallacy in all of this is that Norway (THE MODEL bandied around for the alternative) pays 270 million a month with no clawbacks and also has had to accept immigration terms. In fact, the UK get a hell of a deal as we only pay 0.6% of GDP before clawbacks, service revenue and inward investment, whereas all others pay between 1 to 1,5% of GDP. It's just that our economy has grown to such a size that the absolute sum is large. Though no fan of the blessed Margaret, she did negotiate that 0.6% ceiling....

There's also a price for European freedom and peace to be maintained as well, that you can't monetize.

[DTCwordfan]

In Bigbad - and the first post.

[jourdain2]

I sall whisper quietly that I have said for months that France is an economic basket case. Sorry to intrude.

[DTCwordfan]

Cassa - //'better the devil you know'// is not a plausible argument, on that I agree. There's better logical and economical reasons, especially when you get under the hype.

[indefinable]

Please for the love of God Vote to Remain

[naomi24]

Gosh DTC. How lucky we are!! You make it sound all so ... erm ... attractive. Nevertheless, I think I'll pass.

[DTCwordfan]

I agree Jourdain, I was shocked by what I saw/heard over there.....the unemployment is more like 20%, the number of business closed along the wealthy Provence coast mind-boggling, and the living of the locals, effectively on tick, it seems. Then no inward investment of note coming, the government creating artificial jobs and financing semi-dodgy state projects. Wow.

@DTC

I thought were were emmets in Cornwall and grockles in Devon.
