EVERYONE else has had their say, so here are my thoughts on the referendum. I understand all the very sound economic arguments for Lexit, which many of the readers of this paper support.

The EU in its present state is an undemocratic, dictatorial, top-down, arrogant bosses’ club in league with the World Bank and IMF and it exists primarily to ship cheap labour around Europe in the interests of multinational capitalism. What it has done to Greece is beneath contempt. That goes without saying.

But just look at the bunch of bastards who run the government in this country. They are even worse. At least the EU provides some basic workers’ rights and, if we leave, the Tories will try to turn us into serfs.
