George Galloway and Brexit

Now that Cameron has given us the date of EU referendum of June 23rd, both sides are already working hard in achieving victory.  The PM's recent renegotiation to me is an irrelevance, it is now understood that the deal he negotiated is not even legally binding.  Especially the rules surrounding the take up of benefits by EU migrants.

However the most surprising thing for me so far has been the entry of George Galloway on the Brexit side, sharing a platform with Nigel Farage on the Grassroots Out meeting. This must be the only thing that Farage and Galloway agree on.  Even though I loathe his views on Israel, Galloway is correct here. The EU is not only a businessmen's club but an attack on our democracy and freedoms.  For me it means that GG is at least a man of socialist ideals unlike Jeremy Corbyn and Labour party who have thrown their weight behind the remain campaign.  Corbyn's main argument is that the EU has brought in many workers' rights, however I think these are just delusions. Corbyn and Labour want the EU because it brings in more migrants, who are more likely to vote Labour.  So Corbyn has sold out his principles for votes as he was once fiercely anti-Europe like Tony Benn. My view is that Galloway might sway some of the UK's muslim vote towards Brexit.  Time will only tell.

My other salute is that Michael Gove and Boris Johnson have both backed the leave campaign.  Again this must be the first time I have agreed with either man.
