From Chris Radford, a member of one of the SY2E – Remain in the EU groups.

It is a fact that many of the older generation, I am 75, of my acquaintance are proposing to vote leave, they seem to feel that we shall go back to the ‘good old days’ when Britain ruled the world and the sun never set on the Empire.

They campaign to bring back Concorde and the like, but fail to realise that the world has moved on, Britain will have few friends in Europe and fewer still in the World.

It really is time to wake up, shelve your deep seated xenophobia and vote stay so that we can at least leave to the younger generation a country to be proud of, not a little backwater with the drawbridge firmly pulled up.
