Britain would go to the ‘back of the queue' for US trade deals post-Brexit

This isn't about me. This is about Generation Y and my kids Generation Z.

Give your children the best education you can afford.

They'll need to be very smart to afford rents in MFs slums ...

Indeed, he completely ignores other side effects of the root causes that would force house prices to drop.

I like to fancy my chances. But many UX gurus and Feng shui consultants are toast.

The world always needs engineers [emoji41]

The world maybe, but you advocate UK cutting itself off the rest of the world, the only thing you'd be engineering here is big wall to stop immigrants.

That's the real weakness of the Brexit argument, it's all hot air about how we'll be just fine and everything will be Ok.
But it seems to be a real stretch to suggest that leaving will have no economic impact whatsoever especially as we do not have a large industrial base anymore.

Equally true if remain wins, apart from being the second biggest cash cow nobody knows how UK will prosper in the future.

Here is one economic argument for leaving:
The common market accounted for over a third of world GDP when the UK joined, it is now percentage wise in the low twenties, end of the decade it will be mid teens; the trend is down for the customs union; sounds like a better idea to ditch the customs union and start trading with the rest of the world unfettered.

Political argument:
The pleasure of voting out the career politicians once and while sounds good to me, cannot do that with the EU commissioners. The most important argument!

Moral argument:
Reported a few months back that it is now 21 years since the sleazy corrupt EU accounts were last signed off.

Yes there will be some economic upset, also a set of politicians who aren't self serving tulip heads would help.

With high taxes as it is UK won't prosper.

Leaving would certainly increase tax burden further.
