60/40 for OUT. I work on the railway, and the EU have just passed a ruling that the railway should be fully privatised across the EU. Network Rail have only just gone into government ownership, and was on the brink of losing my job when private.
LSB, a quick Google search will tell you that your statement is untrue.
The rulings aim to set out that companies can gain access to rail lines to operate services across Europe. In other words a German owned rail company cannot stop movement of freight across its network going from the UK to (say) Austria.
It is a ruing to improve co-operation in moving goods to stop good having to be transhipped to lorries part way through a journey or having to detour around one member state to get to another.
If rail privitisation were really going to be made compulsory don't you think we'd have all heard of it? It's a story that would affect far more of us than whether children under 5 can blow up balloons or if ginger people are allowed to urinate in a policeman's helmet if pregnant (the ginger person, not the poiiceman).
Don't vote out because of a lie.
