I'm actually the only person in my office who was born in the EU, though there are two British citizens who were born in the USA and India respectively, as well as two other non-EU citizens.
I'm leaning towards In but like a few people have mentioned it's not easy to get an unbiased view of what it would really mean either way. The Guardian article linked further back is an interesting viewpoint on staying in but it doesn't come across any less biased to me than what I've seen/heard with regards to leaving.
I watched Corbyn's speech yesterday and sensed that his heart wasn't in it. He rushed it, simply reading from a script and there was no sense of theatre or drama.
DeeGee, I'm afraid I think the whole immigration/ free movement of workers thing is actually a huge red herring whipped up by the Little Englander Press. The sensible side of the out campaign is advocating Out for a lot more reasons than immigration. Anyone can see that post exit, there would need to be some form of fairly liberal, but managed free movement of workers between UK and EU negotiated. The bald statement that once the bridge is up, it's up, is absolutely not the case. It can be as far down as the UK Govt (and the EU as the other party to the negotiations) chooses it to be, that's the whole point. Trying to make the whole thing binary is far too simplistic.
