    It should also be said that the most influential news media in the UK is guilty of a 'pro-Europe bias' - according to its own enquiry.

    Report from The Times

    According to the enquiry:

    "BBC news suffers from an 'institutional mindset' that leads to a 'reluctance to question pro-EU assumptions'. "

    “the BBC is getting it wrong, and our main conclusion is that urgent action is required to put this rightâ€Â.

    It's a referendum, yes or no, seems pretty black and white to me. You cannot vote 'maybe'.

    FWIW I can see no downside at all to voting 'no', regardless of ones views on the EU a 'no' vote will cause ructions and turbulence amongst a complacent bureaucracy, both here and there. This is a good thing. They all work for us, and generally do a very bad job.

    That's not what I meant - what I mean is the 'Yes' brigade are 100% yes and can't see any downsides to voting yes and the 'No' lot vice versa. No-one seems to be saying "Both options have pros and cons but on the balance I've chosen this option".

    Thank you for the link. There are a big difference between economic migrants, asylum seekers and bogus migrants. Virtually every countries in the world encourage economic migrants from skilled workers from UK. Not sure if this result in UK having a net brain drain. I have many Scot friends in nursing, with their also husbands also skilled in other professions, immigrating to Australia to seek a better life for themselves. On the other hand Scotland First Minister tries to invent ways that would encourage overseas graduates looking for work to stay here rather then go else way. Seem what UK need is a better goverment who could improve the immigration system. Any business venture that bring 10% gain is a huge margin.
