  3. I truly believe that it is in Britain's long term best interest to leave the EU. The fall of the EU will occur very shortly after the fall of the US Empire; which will happen sooner rather than later if anyone other than Bernie Sanders becomes president.

  4. David Lazarus not my horse, but it does seem to me that the EU actually gives the UK significant advantages for as long as it lasts, and should it collapse down the road doesn't leave the UK any worse off than if they'd skipped the years when they could have those advantages.

    Of course, you'll decide for yourselves what you want to do as a country.

    Foreigners or moderate extremists as mentioned above?
