Cameron’s EU campaign is negative, stupid, and likely to win

Here we go again. According to today’s Daily Express, leaving the European Union is the only way to ‘save the NHS’. According to the Prime Minister, remaining a member of the european club is the only way to guarantee the United Kingdom’s security.

I suppose it is too much to hope that everyone, on both sides of this increasingly-wearisome argument, will pipe down and cease being so damn stupid? Of course it is. We will be stuck with more – much more – of this until such time as the bleedin’ poll is called and held. This may be the best reason for having the referendum as soon as possible.

Now the boss is obviously right to observe – and even complain – that David Cameron and the other Inners are running a deplorably negative campaign that appears to be based on the premise that a hefty proportion of the populace are witless ninnies, easily scared into doing the ‘right’ thing.
