People from our former colonies often appear to have a greater affinity with the British than other Europeans.

I would give up one of my bedrooms if a Ghurka needed accommodation and not charge him a penny with full board. Hopefully he could use his Kukri knife on the little scrote that broke into my garden shed/mancave and nicked all my cider if he visits again.

I really like my Polish decorator neighbour and I'd hope he'd take it on the chin if required to return upon Brexit, like I've done when comparatively well paid jobs have come to an end, or Brits have generally done when the good times have ended on repeated occasions during our time in the EU. Where do we get the security?

These residents would offer a lot less to the area than Poles. I digress, but let's not encourage anyone to start defending doleites please.

Believing that young people will be blindly cajoled into voting for EU membership is a dangerous assumption for the remain camp...

Clearly behind all the faux "oh please don't go" rhetoric they don't consider it to be that big an issue (?) Across Europe, many are saying Cameron got too many concessions! He clearly didn't come back with nothing. Perhaps not enough for the UK's liking. But the fact that he has won the right to hold back on welfare for immigrants such as working tax credits for those on piss poor wages shows he came back with something.

As we all know there are positives and negatives for both leave and remain. Out of interest, what concerns do people who have made their minds up have about their chosen stance?
