Last day before vote. Anyone against it?

I still can't get over it. For months now the Brits were urged to make up their minds, staying IN or moving OUT. However, Britain hasn't changed; Europe hasn't changed; we haven't changed. And those who pretend to have changed seem to want something. Become Prime Minister?  Yes, Boris, you want it. You started lying when you worked as a jounalist in Brussels. Got kicked out by The Times Manager because you lied. Then you worked for The Daily Telegraph, manipulating the European Commission's statements at weekly press conferences. The reputation you then acquired, I can still smell it. It was all alarmingly beyond the truth. Has that changed, Boris?


Look through! 
Journalists become journalists when their professional curiosity (and talent?) motivates them to finding the truth and nothing but the truth. And then write about it. What we hear until the last minute is that we pay 350 million pounds into a monster EU every week, without getting anything back. This is a simple lie. That foreigners take our jobs, migrants suck our NHS empty and that Merkel wants a European Army, all that has been made up to frighten uninformed citizens.


British car industry. 

Ignorance about non British markets caused the disappearance of the British car industry in the Fifties, not European cooperation. The belief in the Monkeys of Gibraltar was then still wishful thinking, np longer reality. Britain is a bit less Great now. This is not the EU's fault. We Europeans now are all a bit less great because of upcoming new realities. Can we ignore this? Together we can be stronger. Not divided, like a 100 years ago. So: Boris Johnson, Michael Gove, Nigel Farage and all the other scaremongers and Eurosceptics have been manipulating public opinion all the time. The consequences can be costly. Who pays for it?


The prize we pay! 
On the other hand, it would be narrowminded to think that the Britsh population, multicultural as it is,    does not understand what is at stake. They do. And they will follow their own intuition and use their  own and well known British common sense which, by the way, we all need in Europe. The last day before the Referendum gives a lot to think about. It is not too late. Is there one reason for a devastating, irrevocable Brexit?
