All miss-information and dis-information so far.
At least Theresa May, the minister in charge of reducing immigration to tens of thousands (sic) and [U]supposedly[/U] supporting Call Me Dave in remaining, was willing to admit that 'Britain would flourish outside the EU' listing a host of reasons why it was 'nonsense' to suggest the UK was too small to cope outside the EU.
Meanwhile Obama did what I would expect any leader to do, put out whichever line is in his own countries interest. One wonders if we will still be wanting us to remain at 'the back of the queue' when the USA next asks for military help?
To misquote Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard 'Britain is still Great. It's the politicians who got small'.

Obama has to think of his own country's interests first but he has put the frighteners on a lot of wavering voters. Frank Field has warned Jeremy Corbyn that more traditional labour supporters are being driven towards UKIP due to his stance on the EU. The problem is that the powers that be are not having their wages driven down by over supply of the labour market like the people they are supposed to represent.

Correctamundo Howard.
Our supposed booming economy is built on importation of cheap labour of an age who do not drain education or pensions budget just now(which is why productivity is so abysmal - lack of investment in automation and smart working in general) + ever booming house prices giving appearance of wealth plus the equivalent of quantitive easing by increasing money supply without actually producing anything.
It's a massive Ponzi scheme followed by ALL the political parties.

The misleading claims continue apace with Remain talking up the EU on pollution despite Paris being smog ridden a lot of the time due to diesel emissions and Belgium and Luxembourg giving iodine to their citizens to defend against radiation.

The Japanese are the latest to put us under pressure to remain but my understanding is that they sell us a lot more than we sell them so they well see the benefits of cutting us into any trade agreement.

If the people at the top are unhappy the future of the EU looks very bleak.

I see the labour party are struggling to get members to post this EU crap through the doors

The claims get ever more outrageous with the Chancellor claiming house prices would drop as a result of leaving and now the Prime Minister claiming that the threat of war is averted by being in. Didn't stop Argentina invading the Falklands though and Spain making life very difficult for Gibraltarians.

Forgotten all about the problems in Greece which seem to have got steadily worse with taxes on everything, health service on verge of collapse and a cut in pensions, would be better off out of the Euro.

Surely if 'Culpability' Brown urges us to vote Remain, we should vote Leave.

The whole edifice is on the verge of crumbling with the majority of voters in France and Holland demanding a referendum on continued membership. The Czech PM has threatened to pull out if we vote to leave and the rest of Eastern Europe seems to want the financial benefits but not take on the bad bits.

Two meetings that Charlie will chair, would have been better to have someone neutral doing it.

Howard,I wonder if anyone will ask Charlie about the infamous Tory Battlebus that I understand helped Charlie before May7th 2015?I am sure Charlie put it on his election expenses form.If not, it may be rectified during the police investingation in Thanet South.

Howard,I googled John Monks.I knew he used to be the head of the TUC.
I notice Monks is really Lord Monks and a former head of European Trades Union Congress with a French honour,Chevalier of Legion d Honneur.
The meeting at Dover Town Hall on the 26th May will involve 2 Lords of the EU gravy train,Kinnock and Monks also a career politician Ms Dodds MEP safeguarding their jobs and EU pensions.
Monks and Kinnock can earn over £ 300 a day by just clocking in at the House of Lords..
I am always amazed that when Labour Lords are featured in adverts for meetings,they are never referred as members of the House of Lords and just referred as plain Mister. Trying to keep the boys and girls of Momentum happy?
