campaigning has begun again after the
foul murder of the late Joe Cox MP may
God Rest our soul and we only have a few
days left to make the final arguments as
to how people should vote in the
European Union referendum on Thursday
I'm in no doubt at all as to what the
direction should be exit lexit brexit I
was all of my life a follower of the
late and great Tony Ben and I follow his
idea his teaching that if you cannot
remove the people who make the big
decisions about your lives then you're
not living in a democracy and
increasingly that's true of our
relationship to the EU some people argue
that the European Union somehow defends
workers rights if it did then I promise
you Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley and
the IMF and the World Bank and all the
great capitalist corporations and
banking institutions would not be
spending quite so much money to
encourage you to remain we have a real
chance on Thursday to regain the right
to control our own Affairs our own
foreign policy our own domestic policy
our own industrial and social policy
none of which we can do if we remain in
the EU the victory of Labor the victory
of Labor ideas is by no means guaranteed
if we come out of the European Union but
it is guaranteed that no such Victory is
possible if we remain in it because the
EU Constitution is the only constitution
in the entire world where a commitment
to neoliberal capitalism is chiseled
into the Constitution which cannot be
changed so you have the chance to open
the exit door on Thursday and go out
into the light the light of rejoining
the world where the sun is rising and
leaving behind the capitalist boss's
club that is the
EU
