Immigration and how much it costs us to stay in the EU seem to be all anyone talks about. They don't talk about the perks, such as loads more rights for workers and stuff.

I think it's the job of the pro-Europe lobby to get the facts out about the question of open borders. It's the job of both lobbies to give people the information they need, and I really do believe it's something that people will think seriously about because it's such an important question. But I do think people have a right to choose. People haven't been asked about this since we joined Europe, and it's a very different animal now to what it was then.
