We would be in serious trouble if we do not allow foreign workers

That so called renegotiation would close down all NHS services within days

Careful what you wish for

Closing down the NHS may not be something that this government is desperate to avoid....

The foreigners in the NHS do seem to be largely of non-EU origin, but we'll see very few non-imported fresh fruit or vegetables without our EU agricultural workers - I suppose we could replace them with Mexicans.

Camorons stance is to continue with EU membership, what was interesting yesterday was the CEO of JCB saying it makes no difference if were in or out.
He went on to say that it was a lot easier to trade with North American than it was within the EU even though were a member state

Makes no difference to him , maybe that's because he's got factories worldwide anyway.

Look around the streets of the UK, I don't see many professionals without jobs just the unskilled. They can fill the fruit picker roles (would have to stop their dole though cos many are just lazy bastards), but I don't see many I'd want stitching up a head wound.

11% of all staff,

14% of professionally qualified clinical staff,

26% of doctors*,

in the NHS are not UK citizens.

* does not include GPs, who are not employed by the NHS.

A lot of farmers might be unimpressed by their new "workers"....

If we vote to leave who says they'll take us back, if we vote to go back?

I need a little time
To think it over
I need a little space
Just on my own
I need a little time
To find my freedom
I need a little

Funny how quick the milk turns sour
Isn't it, isn't it
Your face has been looking like that for hours
Hasn't it, hasn't it
Promises, promises turn to dust
Wedding bells just turn to rust
Trust into mistrust

I need a little room
To find myself
I need a little space
To work it out
I need a little room
All alone
I need a little

You need a little room for your big head
Don't you, don't you
You need a little space for a thousand beds
Won't you, won't you
Lips that promise fear the worst
Tongue so sharp the bubble burst
Just into unjust

I've had a little time
To find the truth
Now I've had a little room
To check what's wrong
I've had a little time
And I still love you
I've had a little

You had a little time
And you had a little fun
Didn't you, didn't you
While you had yours
Do you think I had none
Do you, do you
The Freedom that you wanted bad
Is yours for good
I hope you're glad
Sad into unsad

I had a little time
To think it over
Had a little room
To work it out
I found a little courage
To call it off

I've had a little time
I've had a little time
I've had a little time
I've had a little time

Shiny Face Dave promised a referendum on the EU, not an in or out vote.

Shiny Faced Dave promised a referendum on the EU because he thought he was going to be over run by the fascist Ukipers - he panicked

What Shiny Face Dave has not done is tell us how much the referendum, whatever form it takes,will cost you

Perhaps someone can find the cost of the Scottish referendum and times it by 13? to give us a clue

There are still more people in Yorkshire than in Scotland

Wasn't that the Irish experience when they voted on the Lisbon Treaty and gave the wrong answer?

The clarifications revolved largely around making it clear the acceptance of the Lisbon Treaty did not amount to a back-door absorption by NATO.

They do have rather more experience of asking the people specific questions than governments here do - and the people have rather more experience of how to answer those questions, too.

Maybe Dublin has less of 'those who know best'. The likes of Blair and Mandleson must hate that we are having a chance to discuss and choose our relationship with Europe.

Not the best inheritors of the legacy of Harold Wilson's Labour Party, who gave this country its first referendum.

Ted the teeth Heath got us in I don't see another Tory taking us out

Ted was a very different sort of Tory from this lot.

Nearly as different as Labour then is from "Labour" now.

TTIP seems more of a threat than the EU is. They won't risk a referendum on that.
