EU referendum debate

Normally I do not like to discuss political issues but there is one particular example of the EU meddling which seems to be overlooked in the wrangling that is going on. So I want to mention it.
It is called TIN - an acronym for Tax Identification Number. It worried the pants off me. I want to leave the EU regardless but this is making me pray for Brexit to win. :blink:

Theres a referendum :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy:

The UK doesn't use a TIN.

I am Turkish and following brexit issue.
Todays EU is not the same as 30 yrs ago i believe. Life is getting harder for richer nations and sustainable wealth is a question.
But at the end, staying together will improve Briain's future. I see that Britain has its own Commonwealth as well. Bu even with that in mind it will be a disaster to leave.

I also see that some propaganda is going on indicating "Turks are coming" by pro-exit people. Believe me, we don't want to join either. We are already in common trade zone. That is sufficient for almost everything. Maybe 30 years later.
And, we are not jihadists type people as you see on TV from ISIS.

By the way, still thinking to buy a jimny as a third car. undecided.

Isn't it just a number that identifies you, rather like your NI number?


Personally I'm voting to stay in for a few reasons like:

1) If we leave there will have to be a Big Steering Committee created of people on 6 or 7 figure salaries, that I will have to pay for out of my future pension.
2) Anything Gove says to do, I do the opposite. If he said not to poke sharp sticks in my eyes because they would hurt I'd be ramming sticks in my eyes and declaring that it doesn't :laugh:

The "debate" seems to consist of Cameron warning us that if we vote brexit our heads will fall off, whilst all the looney rightwingers have flocked to Boris & Gove and declare that if we don't vote brexit we will be overrun with immigrants, (No doubt they are going to use my future pension to build a wall around the entire coastline, as I can imagine the French holding the boats for them to embark at Calais if we leave )

I suspect the loonies will swing it, as people who are happy with a situation never bother to vote

I think it is a bit more sinister than that.
I'm with the loonies.
