        @jonskeet surely the Little England position is to ignore mass youth unemployment in Eurozone because south of England is doing OK?

        I don't think the UK leaving the EU is going to help that.

        au contraire, UK leaving might kill this version of the EU, finally resolve the torture of southern Europe.

        need either to rescue southern Europe. Status quo killing these countries. Brexit is seismic event that gives them a chance.

        @David_Cameron you're scared. Obvious to see. Funny how your only tool is fear isn't it. Bad people use fear to control others.
