If you should happen to get a little story book through your letter box from the lovely gent in Downing Street, that tries to tell you what you want, you might like to pop it into an unstamped envelope and return to tory HQ.

Just saying...

Learn what? I assume most people have already heard the government line.

Unless you are planning a barbecue or are in need of a a fire lighter, I can't see that this publication will be of benefit.

P.S. I understand it is too shiny to be of benefit in the little room.

The reason they have put it on a leaflet rather than the television is that it is widely recognised that leafletting is the most cost effective form of political campaigning.

Well, £9.3m of our money seems a rather steep price to pay to learn nothing more than has been available on TV/radio/media for months.

If Mr Cameron deems it important to get his message across, he can use his own fucking money to do so.

You seem pretty confident that everybody knows this information.

Let's face it, there are millions of morons in this country - which explains the popularity of Brexit. I'm more than happy for the government to spend millions of pounds of public money sealing them into their homes on voting day if that's what it takes to prevent them from ruining the future of the UK.

Considering what we waste every single day in myriad ways, nine million pounds is a pittance.

You mean that you are happy for Mr Cameron to spend millions of pounds promoting the Stay argument, because you agree with that argument.

He is not promoting facts. He is promoting his view on the facts. At our expense.

Had it been a, "On the one side, some say ... But on the other side, some say ..." type of publication, there might have been some merit in it.

But crap like, "It makes our borders more secure?"

Do you really think that people are stupid? Stupid enough to swallow that? I hope not.

To show the old boys club how many of us do want to leave and resent our taxes going to their spin, and sending them to tory HQ will cost them the postage rather than to Downing Street where the taxpayer funded mail room will ensure Mr. C. isn't any the wiser.

I'm tempted to vote for exit just because it's what he doesn't want. After this, trying to peddle us a load more crap, I'm even more tempted.

I was going to vote stay. I'm now in the undecided camp. This may swing it.

Then again, Boris and Odious Duncan Smith want us to leave.

I want them all to lose.

He has stated his case of wanting to stay in the eu

However I would have liked to have seen a more balanced view of pros and cons

And then some opinions on the most important pros and cons

Just be grateful we don't have the euro currency

It is not just that he has stated his case of wanting to stay. It is that he has done it at a cost to us of £9.3m.

(And, quite frankly, has done a piss poor job of it at the same time).

Personally speaking I think you must have a feverish view of the world if you think staying in is a good idea

I invite you to explain why it is not.

There isn't enough room in the forum.

But when you have to resort to insulting people you have already lost your argument

No one has been insulted.

On the other hand, one thing I've noticed amongst people who support leaving the EU both here and elsewhere is an inability to articulate why.

So what is a monster raving brexiter?

ok, give us one, just one good reason for staying in?"

European law is the strongest protection for worker safety that we have, and our own government would take the opportunity to make workers less safe to save businesses money the second we leave.

It's very simple.

Well, £9.3m of our money seems a rather steep price to pay to learn nothing more than has been available on TV/radio/media for months.

You seem pretty confident that everybody knows this information.

Let's face it, there are millions of morons in this country - which explains the popularity of Brexit. I'm more than happy for the government to spend millions of pounds of public money sealing them into their homes on voting day if that's what it takes to prevent them from ruining the future of the UK.

Considering what we waste every single day in myriad ways, nine million pounds is a pittance.

You mean that you are happy for Mr Cameron to spend millions of pounds promoting the Stay argument, because you agree with that argument.

He is not promoting facts. He is promoting his view on the facts. At our expense.

Had it been a, "On the one side, some say ... But on the other side, some say ..." type of publication, there might have been some merit in it.

Well nobody in this country has ever voted in favour of the EU, the original vote was for a common market.

It's in democratic

It's stated aim is " ever closer union"

We are are net contributors so costs more than we put in.

Free movement of people over the union.

The impending acceptance to Turkey joining the EU

That's a two minute off the top of my head thing

Try researching common law. You will find that our workers had protection long before the EU was a thought in anyone's mind. Try again.

Being a member of the EU does not equate to worker safety. We had it before and will have it after.

Reasons to leave? Shall we start with democracy? Shall we move on to expense? Shall we move on to being able to make our own cultural and financial decisions? Our own decisions about who we welcome?

Well democracy isn't just a thing to me. Not being part of an undemocratic club that costs more than we get back is a reason to leave.

An agreement allowing the free movement of millions is a reason to leave if you don't agree with it.

Dismissing them as just things is arrogant.

The idea of ever closer union is a stated aim of the EU, I disagree with that in principle.

If or when Turkey enters the EU the costs are likely to spiral.

The free movement of people with a radically different culture to each other is flawed as a concept and will breed tension and intolerance.

Beyond certain size you get diseconomies of scale, the EU is already there, inefficient and ineffective.

A trade agreement is still possible much like Norway have, trade without ever closer union

I'm yet to see any of your "things" for staying

Okay, let's forget it. If you can't understand a basic concept we're not going to get any further with this.

As for democracy, you may want to factor in the fact that we are a democratic member of the EU (the EEC doesn't exist anymore, you may be pleased to learn!) before imagining our parliament's rulings matter 'diddly squat'.

And beyond that, you might find this to be eye-opening, if you are interested in facts at all. It explains the differences between Acts, UK regulations and EU regulations, which will give you a real reckoning on what your 'diddly squat' actually amounts to: https://fullfact.org/europe/uk-law-what-proportion-influenced-eu/

TLDR: It's not 'diddly squat'.

Let us take democracy. At the moment, it matters diddly squat whether our parliament passes a law. If the EEC deems otherwise, it falls. You prefer Belgium to decide?

Okay, let's forget it. If you can't understand a basic concept we're not going to get any further with this.

As for democracy, you may want to factor in the fact that we are a democratic member of the EU (the EEC doesn't exist anymore, you may be pleased to learn!) before imagining our parliament's rulings matter 'diddly squat'.

And beyond that, you might find this to be eye-opening, if you are interested in facts at all. It explains the differences between Acts, UK regulations and EU regulations, which will give you a real reckoning on what your 'diddly squat' actually amounts to: https://fullfact.org/europe/uk-law-what-proportion-influenced-eu/

TLDR: It's not 'diddly squat'."

Go on. Just imagine that I am stupid. It is easy to do. Explain it to me. If you can be arsed.

Oh, yes ... I think we voted for a common trading system. Was that the EEC? Seems so long ago.

"The reason they have put it on a leaflet rather than the television is that it is widely recognised that leafletting is the most cost effective form of political campaigning.

Well, £9.3m of our money seems a rather steep price to pay to learn nothing more than has been available on TV/radio/media for months.

If Mr Cameron deems it important to get his message across, he can use his own fucking money to do so.

I don't watch live TV or listen to the Radio. I'm interested to hear what the official party line is before I vote."

That's fine. £9.3m to send you a leaflet - or you could do a quick google if you're lazy.
