A billy Bragg interview on the referendum, back in 2013. I guess we all have some little Englander in us and his interviewis still 100% relevent.
".............Another criticism is that it is institutionally neo-liberal and promoting an austerity agenda.
Yes and no. It is also trying to curb bankers' bonuses, isn’t it? And it is interesting to see that one of the things the conservatives really hate about the European Union is all the rights that the British people get because of it. The contradiction in the EU is that it supplies a lot of accountability than we don’t get from our government – which is much more neo-liberal than the consensus in Europe. As a result of that, workers rights, individual rights and the rights of minorities have all been marginalized. It has actually been the legislation of the European Union that has held up the rights of minorities, workers and women. That’s what they are complaining about: the ‘red tape’ that keeps them clean............"
Then Billy went on to be pro-brexit.
