... Central to my vision of Britain after June 23 is that our Parliament is sovereign, empowered and able to make all of the big decisions, rather than leaving it to those unelected old men in Brussels...

... The vision for Brexit Britain is a global one... After leaving the EU we would be able to treat all who wanted to come here on an equal basis, strengthening our proud ties to our kith and kin in the Commonwealth... We would no longer be acting as Little Europeans, but a Global Britain.

... My vision is a Britain engaging in global trade, forging ahead with new relationships and deals that would make Britain an engine room for job creation, rather than being constrained by the EU’s outdated customs union.

So there you go: that’s my vision. A strong Britain, controlling our borders, looking after the well-being of our own citizens first and leading on the world stage, rather than being dragged along and told what to do by Angela Merkel and Jean-Claude Juncker...

1. Because Britain in the early 70s was such a global success.

We only had to work three days a week.

2. Farage is one of my Euro-MPs...

if you wonder why someone who hates the EU so much would want to be a member of the Europaean Parliament, well, I'm not quite sure, but it's probably the gravy train and the megaphone!

He is indeed a racist nutter (and many of his party members are even worse); but even he has criticized Trump for going a teeny bit too far. Which shows what Trump is like!

Farage's latest crusade, so to speak, is against the Archbishop of Canterbury, who doesn't, in Farage's opinion, hate all the bloody foreigners quite enough!

3. A bit rich for the UKIP leader to be complaining about 'old men'

when his support is the most male of all the national parties, and by far the oldest:

19% of men over 55 - way more than any other demographic for them.

4. Brexit

Hi,

I'm a Brit and will be voting to remain in the EU.

The wind is against us though, and Farage is loving it. Its not just him. For the longest time our media and politicians have said little positive about Europe and no wonder that message has got through to the street. From some of the Tory papers it has been years of negative propaganda, day after day.

If we do leave, then they will have to own the consequences, which is some small comfort.

5. Just curious, but how did Obama's statement that negotiations for a US-British

trade agreement would go to the bottom of the pile play in Britain?

I was concerned that it would stiffen the resolve of the Brexit supporters rather than serve as an inducement for them to vote Remain.

What do you think as a Brit?
