The following statement will add nothing to the disputed subject. It's just a personal gripe I have about the flow of the debate so far and the wording used. It isn't aimed at anyone in particular, I'll hastily add:

In brief, I'd like to point out that there is no collective opinion in Great Britain. The use of the terms "us" and "you" are being bandied about as if the entirety of the British nation fell into a single eurosceptic camp. This is not the case, nor has it ever been so. I myself, a Yorkshireman by birth and a Mancunian by the grace of God have been a supporter of central government and integration since first I became politically aware. I'd hazzard a guess that I am not alone in that, even in these forums. A majority are opposed to the EU. That's hard to deny; a brief conversation with ten randomly selected joes will usually reveal this to be true. Some would even say an overwhelming majority, though I suspect this often wildly exaggerated. Either way, a large portion is not tantamount to a whole.

What I'm trying to say is; don't simply ignore the opinions of those who disagree with you or contradict your side of the debate by proclaiming that the entirety of a nation stands behind/against your argument.

That's it.

Whinge over.
