So Creeky...you think the prospects for the young are more varied. Have you got youngsters working their socks off in the hope of one day owning their own home? They haven't got a hope in hell unless Granny and Grandad help them out, or they can go to the Bank of Mum and Dad. Some of them can't even get a job, and when they do it's for peanuts because of the low wages being driven down by immigrants . But then...as we are in the EU they can always go and work in Romania or Albania or in one of the other poverty stricken EU countries. The way of life in those countries is almost Medieval...that's why they all want to live HERE!

And most of what is bandied about by the Remainians is just fear inducing supposition. No-one knows what is going to happen whichever way the vote goes. I'm not listening to the endless recitation of figures...billions here, millions there...I am looking at what's happening in the Mediterranean, and now in the English Channel. I see that on TV and I know that that is true...it is not actors playing those migrants..they are real. That is enough for me. I am voting out for my grandchildren.

Yes I do - do you really remember 1973!

Sure if your dad was a miner you had every 'hope ' of spending a short life underground - your dad a steel worker, then you would surely follow them - dockers, ship builders, farmer, car worker and so on - opportunities to escape were few and far between.

Education for those outside the middle and upper classes has totally changed as have opportunities to do something different.  Not because of planning by UK or EU politicians but in spite of them.

House prices have gone up - this has put youngsters in the middle earning range at a disadvantage but there's one simple reason for that - BRITISH governments of all varieties haven't built enough houses!  _ we haven't got enough social housing, planning restrictions have discouraged developers and we haven't ensured that those houses we do have remain habitable - NONE of that is down to membership of the EU - there is NO EU regulation restricting the building of new houses. So much for sovereignty and the will of the people being heard!

I don't care if we stay in the EU or not - won't make the slightest difference to me whether we are told what we can do by a bunch of two faced bureaucrats in Brussels or in London - they don't care about me, they don't care about you and if you really think any of the politicians supporting either campaign have chosen their stance based on what they think will be best for the country then you are living in cloud cuckoo land!
