SO, June 23 2016 is our country's day of reckoning - whether we vote to stop in the European union or get out.

This momentous decision is the future governance of our country.

Do we wish to be governed by Brussels - the European capital of 28 states - or London, our own state with its own parliament, and its members that we the voter can get rid of every four years if they don't come up to scratch?

The price of the magical Brussels club is £53 million per day, or £19.354 million per calendar year and the price still rising.

With no way of getting out without a referendum, when you look at these astronomical figures it's beyond a joke.

Who does our prime minister think he is kidding?

Any agreement he thinks he has, can be over ruled by the EU courts.

We have no say as to who is entering our country and are over ruled if we decide a person cannot stay by the same courts.

Twice our country, in the last century, has had to sort out the mess Europe got itself into along with the Americans during the wars and it looks as if they are heading that way again.

The original agreement to enter the EU was a trade agreement only not a political agreement in which we have never had a say.

Well, the choice is yours but I for one am out.
