Well it just came to me that this should be the song that is associated with the whole question of leaving or staying in the European union
The Clash – Should I stay or should I go
Should I stay or should I go now? (Yo! ¿Me frío o lo soplo?)
Should I stay or should I go now? (Yo! ¿Me frío o lo soplo?)
If I go there will be trouble (Si me voy, va a haber peligro)
And if I stay it will be double (Si me quedo, es doble)
So you gotta let me know (Pero que tienes que decir)
Should I cool it or should I blow? (¿Me frío o lo soplo?)
Should I stay or should I go now? (¿Me frío o lo soplo?)
If I go there will be trouble (Si me voy, va a haber peligro)
And if I stay there will be double (Si me quedo, es doble)
So you gotta let me know (Pero que tienes que decir)
Should I stay or should I go
It’s always shades of grey.
This whole thing should never have arisen in the first place. It was David Cameron playing politics and trying to buy off the right-wingers in his party by offering them this referendum. He’s put the whole country in a mess because of his party politics. Just weakness.
I am in favour of staying. Not because I love the European bureaucracy but despite that.
My reasons are:
- European collaboration on terrorism
- A bigger voice on the world stage
- A greater union – movement towards global government
- Better economic opportunity
- No years of wrangling over trade agreements
- No destabilisation
- No firms fleeing to set up headquarters in Europe
- No more wars in Europe
- We’re safer and better off in
- Good European laws on Human Rights and workers rights.
I think we’re better off in. I also think that we do not know the facts. It’s all emotional guesswork. I don’t give a knack about sovereignty. I’d prefer to be under European law than what the Tories are doing. The Queen, the establishment, parliament – you can stuff it all.
When I look at the people supporting Brexit they are a rabid bunch of extreme chancers and opportunists. People like Boris who want to use this as an opportunity to become Prime Minister. He doesn’t really believe a word he’s saying. He did an about turn.
No. It’s in for me.
What do you think?
