But I'm still not going to vote Leave just because someone on my side is an arse, that would be repeating the same mistake.

I don't see how someone who makes something like that is any better than a leave voter who's voting leave cause they don't like immigrants. Although, please don't vote leave just to piss them off. That's the opposite of why I posted it
We even had it on Question Time last week with Owen Jones taking this line only to be put down by Labour MP Frank Field who pointed out the UK had better workers rights than most in the EU for years.
I see it as a problem with social media. People can hang out in safe spaces with other like-minded people and avoid having to listen to, or engage with views that are different to their own. When confronted with views they don't like the they scream and rant ...
It would be interesting to see how the debate unfolded were a Labour government in power and their leader was recommending remain, whilst cabinet members were recommending leave. I bet the tone would be different.

I'm not sure. The Labour Party is as split as the Tories really, and Corbyn is in exactly the same position as Cameron - someone I think is fundamentally a Eurosceptic but is advocating staying in. The question is why...

Suffice to say, I'm a bit ashamed of my generation right now.

Our military and foreign policy alignment with the US has wavered sometimes but has been essentially the same since the first Gulf War. So what are you expecting to change?
Exactly that. We need to disconnect ourselves from US military policy, not become even further tied to it.

The EU will adopt it because the big German and French firms want access to the US, especially the French arms industry which wants to sell kit to the Yanks as the UK winds down it's defence industries.
