I am firmly in the 'leave' camp. I am heartened to read on this forum that there are many deciding to vote leave too .
I feel in Britain a sense that we have lost something, not only with modernity but because of the 'community' with the rest of Europe. To quote John Major:
'Fifty years on from now, Britain will still be the country of long shadows on cricket grounds, warm beer, invincible green suburbs, dog lovers and pools fillers and, as George Orwell said, 'Old maids bicycling to holy communion through the morning mist' .
It isn't even that now, 20 years after that was written.
I blame this on the inability of Britain to see itself as a separate nation. I feel it is hamstrung, to a certain extent, by the far reaching claws of Europe, homogenising our lives to the point where anywhere in Europe has a familiar feel. I would encourage the rest of Europe to think carefully about what they have lost too.
