That referendum

[chickenfeet]

I'm finding the British EU referendum rather disturbing and I think it's the "remain" camp that disturbs me more. Don't get me wrong I realise the Brexit campaign is made up of a mix of xenophobic nutjobs, old (and not so old) fogies dreaming of some kind of return to an imagined imperialist idyll and particularly unscrupulous Tory careerists but still... The "remain" camp's one message seems to be that exit will result in unspecified DOOM. They give the impression that they would leave in a moment if it wasn't going to be an almighty cock up. It's like a couple who really hate each other staying together for the sake of the kids. Are there really not people in the UK who recognise that the EU represents the best prospect for Europe not becoming entirely irrelevant in a Sino-US condominium? Or have they taken a vow of silence or something?

Actually, Jeremy Corbyn gave a bloody good speech on that very point, but his voice isn't being heard, because of infighting.
