This is part of the problem. The inners love to shout about all the independent studies that support their case, but I doubt there is any such thing. Research costs money, and he who pays the piper calls the tune.

So basically, if you don't like the analysis, just file it under "made up lies from people with an agenda".

It's this sort of "I'm not listening, I'm not listening, I'm not listening" that makes me wonder why it's worth trying to have a sensible discussion.

Quite. It seems true of both sides, unless of course you have already made your mind up to believe only one side of the argument.

I'd phrase it differently: there are *people* on both sides who have this ridiculous, blinkered perspective and who are incapable of engaging in sensible debate for fear they might actually have to THINK about something that runs contrary to their chosen position.

Fortunately most people are not like that and can see both sides, even if the do favour one rather than the other.
 
The inner a can give you facts , the reality is today, look around you, look at trade figures, look at the economy. If we stay that is what is there, tomorrow will be like today. Inner a don't need to make up what will happen if we stay in as we are in. It's like asking someone to prove the sun will come up tomorrow and set tomorrow night.

It is the outers who pretend to give facts but facts to them is a series of hopeful calls on Europe needing us desperately and going out of their way to give us a better deal than before and that somehow outside of trade deals with Europe, US and the pacific Britain will magically sail along having been handed everything. It is Sturgeon optimism , I didn't believe her on Scotland and I don't believe the brexit optimism either. I don't think Scotland would have collapsed had they voted out but I don't believe it would have been good for them.

Could an Inner please give me the facts on the prospect of Turkey joining, the potential TTIP arrangement, what will happen about the migrant crisis, whether we will need to bail out any more EU countries, if we'll end up having to join the Euro and the creation of an EU army please?

The EU now is so different to how it was 40, 20, 10, even 5 years ago. A vote In isn't a vote for the status quo, it's a vote to continue on the current trajectory.
 
Don't make me laugh seriously do you believe that guff. Why are having to recruit so many doctors into this country? Do you know how long it takes to fully train a doctor ? Just deciding to train people doesn't just happen over night. Its no surprise with the ballooning of insecure ZHC that this country has become so shit at productivity. As has been proven so many times immigration has a positive effect on the economy contrary to popular channel 5 poverty/benefit porn belief the majority of them come over to work and earn money not park their arses on benefits.

As much as I despise Cameron an this whole campaign cutting my nose off to spite my face is the main reason I won't be joining the loons from Brexit.

I don't think exiters are denying the fact that we will need immigration to help the country. What we are saying is that will be a policy based on what we need so yes doctors and others to fill skill shortages from all over the world ,like Canada, Australia, USA and any other country has.

At the moment we have a system where anyone from the eu can move here whether we have that skill shortage or not. I would prefer a system which plugs resources and skills globally not just cos they are in the Euro. Immigration into the uk has been massively important to the success of the U.K and should continue to be so.

TTIP will happen for Britain in or out of the EU the only question is to go in as part of the EU agreement or go in later on terms that there has been no chance to negotiate on and very much as a small party agreeing with big parties , TTIP and TPP are what is happening and like it or not they will happen. Nritaim can sit outside and forgo these opportunities or sign up . I am not necessarily an advocate but with giants like the US. EU, China moving to joining TPP there will be Ko choice. These are not EU things they are all the worlds major markets moving to expand trade and standardise some rules.

As for turkey who knows, I am not a fan of Erdogan at all who is a poor mans Putin but for me the bigger issue than the EU is NATO and as for euro armies again given the money Britain has thrown at misadventures and given the over proportionate involvement of Britain compared to many and given NATO ties us to so many of the EU anyway I am not sure why it frightens so many people I would have though this would possibly be a benefit as much as harm.

Britain just doesn't have the numbers and the money to truly go it alone on either of these things.

As for the migrant crisis as I have said many times it is far more a fault of Russia, the US, France , saudi's and the U.K. Than the fault of the EU and if I were the EU member states who played no part in creating it I would be sending them the way of the countieiwa responsible and I think for the UK , brexit could make it far worse but that is speculation as that would require countries letting more in to move across to our shores
