The EU debate: bored yet?

I know I am. It's the level of debate that is so depressing: no one seems to speak with any real conviction, not the Remain campaign, led by Cameron and Osborne (and with a team like that in charge I really do fear they're up for a hiding), and certainly not the Leave crew, whose spiritual leader, BoJo, clearly cares little one way or another as was evident from his little "I've come to a decision" speech delivered a couple of Sundays ago. It must have done his burgeoning ego a lot of good when a few well chosen words from him caused an already beleaguered pound to drop even further.

We have Cameron firing people who have come out against him, and Boris gagging anyone in his administration who would dare to demur from his view. The two campaigns are powered, on the one side by fear, and on the other by a kind of veiled racism- and both are powerful motivators. And I am afraid of the consequences of leaving, of the damage to the pound, to the economy as a whole and our reputation around the world. Yet it now seems a real possibility we will vote to leave, delighting the far right of the Tory Party who may now be seen as Britain's wrecking crew, but dismaying those of us who see our future as part of Europe, those who think the European Court of Human Rights is actually a good thing and who believe that the best way to reform the EU is from within.

It's a no-brainer, people.
