Every time I hear an Outer talking is persudes me to vote In
every time I head an Inner talking they persuade me to vote Out.

I'm still undecided. Initially, I would have voted to stay in, without
much thought, then, after some listening and reading, I veered towards
out. Now, I just don't know, although stay seems favourite.

What is the EU really all about? Go back 60+ years and an integrated
Europe was about prevention of another European war. That was first and
foremost, at least from the British view. Anything else was almost a
bonus.

Look at the possibility of a UK exit from the European side. Is it really
about Britain leaving, or about Britain setting a precedent? Were we to
leave, would any other countries follow? Not the recent members, but any
of the longer term 'traditional' European countries who also feel hard
done by? The possibility of the EU becoming Germany and all the hangers
on?

Just suppose Brexit did result in other exits over time and, eventually,
to the downfall of Europe as we have known it since WWII. Just suppose it
did lead to another European war. Could I ever forgive myself if I had
voted out, even if I were six feet under by then?


Europe has already fallen. The war is happening right now.


Even sillier than you usually manage.
