AS A POORER nation we are allocated more EU money, but how long is this money going to last? 
The northern heartlands poor areas benefited from EU subsidies, but this money, I have read, has all but dried up now. Our public services are at breaking point. 
Our NHS, housing and education can only get worse. 
If we do not vote to leave, migration will also be at breaking point. I am certainly not a racist but free movement is at an ever increasing rate. 
Migrants have populated the east end to the extent that there are very few eastenders left, them all having moved away. 
Imagine the crisis Britain will face in 10 years’ time, not to mention the terrorist threats. 
The Prime Minister has not honoured his pledge to reduce numbers. 
We must close the borders. I do not think our economy would suffer. The head of JCB, our biggest exporter, welcomes Brexit and the opportunity of trading with Europe and the world.
For the sake of our own democracy and sovereignty I hope we vote out for our children’s and grandchildren’s future.
