I know I keep banging on about the left wing arguments for a Brexit, but in a very small way I am trying to show firstly that there is a left wing case and secondly try to present an alternative view from the one portrayed all across the media, that the only debate to be heard on the EU, either for in or out, is the right wing Tory debate. The so called 'blue on blue' argument. The absence of any real input by Labour/Trades Unions into the national debate, is worrying, particularly those supporting out! Blimey even the consistent outers of UKIP - arguably the catalysts for this referendum - are not getting a fair crack of the whip anywhere in the media. This is far too an important decision to be left just to the Tory Party elite, like the opportunist clown Johnson, Privateer Osborne, Dodgy Dave Cameron et al, to debate. Plus the fact that I am sick to death of the establishment figures - and livid luvvies - being paraded out, alongside dodgy dossiers of fear in an attempt to terrify people into voting to remain. Where are the radical voices to be heard on the issue? Certainly not in mainstream media.
Got to say that I am looking forward to the Cameron - Farage debate on ITV. OK the debate will be on a right wing platform, but hopefully we will see somebody who will - figuratively speaking - lay a glove or two on Cameron in open debate. Well as open a debate as the Dave's media advisers will allow the debate to be!! Truth be told we should be seeing a Cameron - Corbyn debate on the matter. Cos until he took on the Labour leadership, Corbyn was always opposed to the bosses club that is the EU.
Having said that there has been an absence of left wing views on why we should leave the EU, there is an excellent article from Larry Elliott in last Friday's Guardian. So as they do not come along too often, please make this a must read.
