1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,960
it has been a long and bitter campaign

2
00:00:02,679 --> 00:00:09,160
but finally it is coming to an end and

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:11,799
tomorrow Thursday the 23rd of June 2016

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:14,879
you have the power not the talking heads

5
00:00:11,799 --> 00:00:17,400
in the studios not the big politicians

6
00:00:14,879 --> 00:00:19,960
not the banks and the finance houses and

7
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:23,119
the big multinational corporations

8
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:25,800
who've paid so much to persuade you to

9
00:00:23,119 --> 00:00:28,279
remain in the European Union you have

10
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:31,480
the power to change your own life and to

11
00:00:28,279 --> 00:00:34,160
change the course of history you'll have

12
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:36,559
noticed by now that almost nobody

13
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:38,680
campaigning for Romain has tried to

14
00:00:36,559 --> 00:00:40,600
persuade you that things are good in the

15
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,960
European Union that your life is going

16
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:45,680
to be better if we remain in the

17
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:49,559
European Union instead they have sought

18
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:52,760
to instill fear amongst you and a lack

19
00:00:49,559 --> 00:00:55,359
of confidence in our own abilities they

20
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:58,559
have promised you the Four Horsemen of

21
00:00:55,359 --> 00:01:00,440
the Apocalypse War famine pestilence and

22
00:00:58,559 --> 00:01:03,239
disease disas

23
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:06,439
a bomb under the economy they have tried

24
00:01:03,239 --> 00:01:08,600
everything to terrify you about the

25
00:01:06,439 --> 00:01:11,920
dangers of leaving the European Union

26
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:14,479
and nothing to inspire you about how

27
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,680
things will get better I've just been

28
00:01:14,479 --> 00:01:19,479
watching a speech by the right honorable

29
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:22,360
Peter Shaw a man I was proud to sit next

30
00:01:19,479 --> 00:01:24,400
to in Parliament over several years

31
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:27,960
which he gave at the Oxford Union on the

32
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:30,640
eve of the referendum in 1975 and he

33
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:33,320
made this similar point

34
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:35,520
he said we've been in the European Union

35
00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:37,600
2 and a half years so they can no longer

36
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:40,520
promise you that things are going to be

37
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:43,600
good if we remain they can only seek to

38
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:47,119
terrify you about how bad things will be

39
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:50,600
if we leave the truth is apocalypse does

40
00:01:47,119 --> 00:01:53,920
not lie on the other side of brexit

41
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:56,680
Britain will remain a powerful trading

42
00:01:53,920 --> 00:02:00,039
and Manufacturing Nation with a great

43
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:03,799
history and something of a name in the

44
00:02:00,039 --> 00:02:06,280
World Britain with its population of 65

45
00:02:03,799 --> 00:02:08,879
million people it's hint a land of a

46
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:11,239
commonwealth with hundreds of millions

47
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:15,319
of people many of them in economies

48
00:02:11,239 --> 00:02:18,840
doing far better than ours Britain will

49
00:02:15,319 --> 00:02:21,840
continue to exist and to thrive if we

50
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:25,680
leave the European Union on the other

51
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:29,920
side if we stay in the EU it's more of

52
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:33,480
the same a fading failing collection of

53
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:36,800
European economies whose future is

54
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:39,159
increasingly in doubt itself you see if

55
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,319
there was a referendum tomorrow across

56
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:43,840
the whole of the European Union about

57
00:02:41,319 --> 00:02:46,840
whether or not people should join it I

58
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:50,920
promise you it would be overwhelmingly

59
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:54,040
rejected so I think that this whole

60
00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:57,440
project has been about making you lose

61
00:02:54,040 --> 00:03:01,000
confidence in yourselves lose confidence

62
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:04,560
in your own ability and in your own

63
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:08,319
democracy they say that ukip will Thrive

64
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:12,280
if we brexit in truth the result that

65
00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:14,879
ukip want most is a narrow defeat for

66
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:18,319
brexit because they will be the

67
00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:22,040
Principal beneficiaries of it the fact

68
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:25,360
is the anti-eu cause was always a

69
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:29,000
leftwing cause Mr Tony Ben was its great

70
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:31,000
leader Peter Shaw Michael foot the great

71
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,480
Trade union leader ERS they were the

72
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,760
ones who led the campaign in

73
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:40,000
1975 in the last referendum and if they

74
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:42,599
had or their counterparts had led this

75
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:45,760
campaign well we would have swept the

76
00:03:42,599 --> 00:03:48,799
country if everybody could hear Peter

77
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:51,159
Sha's speech we'd sweep the country if

78
00:03:48,799 --> 00:03:54,480
Peter Shaw or somebody like him had made

79
00:03:51,159 --> 00:03:57,480
a speech like he did at the wemble arena

80
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:59,920
on BBC question time last night we would

81
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:02,680
have swept the country which is the the

82
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:06,799
reason why people like Peter Shaw were

83
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:09,280
not chosen to appear on the BBC so I'm

84
00:04:06,799 --> 00:04:11,400
asking you to have confidence in

85
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:14,079
yourself stop

86
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:17,799
overestimating the Roman Empire that is

87
00:04:14,079 --> 00:04:20,799
the EU and start valuing your own

88
00:04:17,799 --> 00:04:24,199
abilities your own abilities to control

89
00:04:20,799 --> 00:04:27,280
your own lives if we do that I believe

90
00:04:24,199 --> 00:04:29,960
that we will have a great future outside

91
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:32,479
the EU we'll continue to trade with its

92
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:35,800
member countries of course because they

93
00:04:32,479 --> 00:04:38,199
will want to continue to trade with us

94
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:41,240
but we'll be able to conclude trade

95
00:04:38,199 --> 00:04:45,120
Arrangements even trade deals with the

96
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:46,960
countries we turned our backs on in 1973

97
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:50,120
when we joined the European Union some

98
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:53,000
of them as I say burgeoning and growing

99
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:56,120
like Topsy in the world most of the

100
00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:00,240
countries in the world are not in the EU

101
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:04,520
most of the G8 are not in the EU most of

102
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:07,720
the G20 are not in the EU and many of

103
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:11,199
them are doing very well as we will

104
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:13,240
ourselves I believe let's look for a

105
00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:15,960
minute at the domestic

106
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:18,240
consequences if we brexit tomorrow David

107
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,560
Cameron will be gone by lunchtime on

108
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:23,400
Friday or at least the process of

109
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:25,759
removing him will have started people

110
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:28,360
say well we'll get Michael Gove or Boris

111
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:31,240
Johnson and I reply and they're worse

112
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:34,039
than David Cameron and George Osborne

113
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:37,680
how but the truth is the Tory party will

114
00:05:34,039 --> 00:05:40,680
begin imploding exploding actually

115
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:43,479
falling apart and a general election

116
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:47,120
will not be long delayed and in that

117
00:05:43,479 --> 00:05:50,720
general election we'll have a choice

118
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:54,400
between Jeremy Corbin and his labor

119
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:58,400
Outlook and proposals his honesty and

120
00:05:54,400 --> 00:06:01,800
sincerity up against who Boris Johnson

121
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:05,240
my money would be on Jeremy Corbin we

122
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:07,400
could get rid of the Tories starting

123
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,120
tomorrow and we could get a labor

124
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,759
government in

125
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:14,720
conclusion leaving the European Union is

126
00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:16,800
a necessary but not sufficient condition

127
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:20,080
Britain is not the Britain we want it to

128
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:22,840
be British democracy not as Democratic

129
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:25,759
as we want it to be we will still have

130
00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:28,199
much to do to build a Britain fit for

131
00:06:25,759 --> 00:06:31,800
our children and their children but we

132
00:06:28,199 --> 00:06:33,919
will not even be able to begin to do so

133
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:37,080
if we don't take the chance that's

134
00:06:33,919 --> 00:06:40,599
offered to us tomorrow to be free to be

135
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:45,319
independent to be Sovereign and that's

136
00:06:40,599 --> 00:06:49,039
what I'm asking you to grasp grasp back

137
00:06:45,319 --> 00:06:51,800
from the unknown the unnamed The

138
00:06:49,039 --> 00:06:54,479
Faceless unelected

139
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:58,440
unremovable powerful wealthy people who

140
00:06:54,479 --> 00:07:01,520
rule us now take it back into our own

141
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:04,840
hands then we'll be responsible for our

142
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:08,319
own destiny in the skies above me in

143
00:07:04,840 --> 00:07:11,520
1940 when we stood alone with Hitler at

144
00:07:08,319 --> 00:07:14,160
the channel ports we stood alone and if

145
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:16,000
we had not the course of world history

146
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,720
would have been very different and I'd

147
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:22,039
be speaking to you on this video in

148
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:24,879
German if I was speaking to you at all

149
00:07:22,039 --> 00:07:27,800
Britain is a great country its people

150
00:07:24,879 --> 00:07:29,720
are a great people they can stand up for

151
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,800
themselves they can govern them

152
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:35,160
themselves and they will have the chance

153
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:38,879
to do so God willing after a brexit

154
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,879
victory in tomorrow's

155
00:07:40,039 --> 00:07:44,879
referendum the whole thing is an

156
00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:48,199
absurdity and therefore I urge you I

157
00:07:44,879 --> 00:07:50,680
urge you to reject it I urge you to say

158
00:07:48,199 --> 00:07:53,039
no to this motion and I urge the whole

159
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:56,159
British country to say no on Thursday in

160
00:07:53,039 --> 00:07:56,159
the referent

161
00:07:57,210 --> 00:08:02,020
[Applause]
