    Foreigners with no sense of Britishness or appreciation of British culture or achievement that think the country should be run in the same manner that the country they left was and is run.

    On the other side we have proud and confident Brits and people who admire the Brits.

    Dodgy blasts home another goal !

    You forgot another group though. Lying scaremongering politicians

    I'm just waiting for global warming to make the climate better - then I'll move back. Hopefully by then, Britain will have a decent economy by virtue of still be part of the EU.

    Or in Europe.

    And if China is your model, then that's helpful to know.

    Hopefully the French team will implode.

    I'm keen on the UK. But I fear that a Leave vote will make it easier for the usual suspects to bring in more cheap labour from far away on intra-company transfer visas, thereby undermining the UK contracting market. And with no access to the 'free movement of people' anymore, we can't easily go abroad to contract there. It will drive contracting rates far down.
