Britain is now made up of two nations, with

They share the same passport, but nothing

They are strangers to each other.
That's the most damning (and dangerous)
outcome for Britain.
Whichever way you voted, there is

I believe that the British public must have

the right to change laws and governments at
election time. But our membership of the
European Union prevents us from being able
to change huge amount of law and stops us
being able to choose who makes critical
decisions which affect all our lives.
Are we going to choose Nigel Farages
vision and vote to leave the EU one which
takes Britain backwards, divides rather than
unites, and questions the motives of anyone
who takes a different view? Or will we,
instead, choose the tolerant, liberal Britain: a
country that doesnt blame its problems on
other groups of people, one that doesnt pine
for the past, but looks to the future with
hope, optimism and confidence?

We are not xenophobic! Migration is out of

control: 3 million new migrants by 2030!
By 2030 the UK population is estimated to
increase 5 million (3 million of that new
migrants), contrast that with Germany's
predicted decrease in population and
France's 3.5 million rise.
The definition of xenophobia "an
unreasonable fear or hatred of foreigners or
strangers or of that which is foreign or
strange."
I would say it is quite reasonable to be
concerned about the growth in migration that
the UK has experienced!
I do not want to be in the EU and allow this
migration growth to continue; I am European.
I will vote leave.
