I still think that we are getting confused. Mass migration from war zones, has nothing to do with the EU.
Which ever way we vote, the problem will continue, it may get worse, if we choose to leave, because we may no longer be able to have our border in Calais.
It is also an irrelevance whether individual citizens choose to take in migrants or not.
I am very proud of the work that the EU did, to introduce the minimum wage, to impose a maximum number of hours a person could work, and many other social reforms, to prevent the exploitation of the poor.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
I hope that you all don't mind but we are drifting a tad from my original post and getting slightly distant from what I intended to be a somewhat lighter toned gardening subject, related to our In/Out of the EU and what we missed from the "old" days as a result of our Governing bodies in the "new" EU Europe.
I have asked the Mods to consider closing this thread as I think its run its course.
Simon, the short answer is no, the odd dying plant in a pot that ends up in my A&E greenhouse to be revived, brought back to health, sent back to die again. Keeps me busy and them happy. As with all modern's they have diaries with thirty hour days? Sarah checking hers yesterday took a Tome out of a volumous bag, she must have a deformed back with all that weight. Wonderful girls who visit most weeks and phone in between, they lift my spirits with their erudite chatter, laughter, and memories of Nana they still talk about. It is indeed their world, my time has gone, will they make a worse mess of things than we did? Time will tell.
Palais, I think you have talked a lot of sense. I am going to ask my children and their partners how they are voting and if they are in agreement then I will join them. They are all extremely well educated and sensible and have caring and kind natures. That's good enough for me.
Cos its getting off topic and I didn't intend for my post to turn into an IN/OUT debate on our membership of the EU on this site and have people possibly getting wound up, IMO.
Yviestevie, Lyn, My head will be in my hands if they see I spelt Rachael wrongly, oops.
My hobby was reviving very dead looking plants for Daughters and Granddaughters, now somewhere in the EU rules will be one forbidding me to do that, my answer is two fingers, we should do what other members do and cherry pick the rules we will obey.
As I have said my vote goes with my own family which is in, it is what they think that counts, they have to live with it.

Tetley, I said he'd been doing it for over 20 years. He's not stopped, he still does it.
Sorry if I didn't make myself clear.

Simon, if people are still interested in the debate, why are you trying to close it down?
Sounds like my daughter, Frank, she gives me a plant when it's way past it and wants me to resurrect it.
My son in law just says, don't worry mum, every generation has their problems, always has, always will.
