I also appreciate the benefits we're entitled to like free movement, and the caps they continue to place on mobile phone company pricing.
Plus I don't have this inflated sense of superiority that a lot of British people still seem to have in thinking we're still some ****ing empire that can just do its own thing and everyone in Europe, America and the rest of the world is going to bow down at our feet and do whatever we demand. No, outside of Europe we're a tiny little irrelevant island that's largely hated.
So yes, remain.

Good post Jack_
I too have found great disillusionment with people I thought more balanced even some in my family.
I am not in anyway an isolationist or a separatist,the days of old are far gone but some think we can just jump into old shoes and walk where we did decades ago.
That is why I will vote to remain and not fall prey to the leave sides endless ifs,maybe's and don't knows as to what will really happen for the UK if out.
I know what it is like in the EU,and so I see fewer risks in than out.
I have no doubt at all the UK out of the EU can stand on its own feet,I fear however that while standing it will not know which way to turn or where to walk to,or even find all it hopes too either, so end up going really nowhere.
That's a gamble I refuse to put the UK and its future generations through as to even the tiniest risk.
I also think as quitters we will be even more disliked.
