The Spectator’s EU Poll asked a fairly random group of well-known people how they’d vote in the EU referendum, and this is what they said:
Sir Tim Rice, lyricist:
‘In 1975 I voted to stay in the Common Market from a standpoint of ignorance. In 2016 I shall vote to leave the EU, as a rebel without a clue. This is a gut reaction which I trust far more than the barrage of misinformation churned out by both sides of the campaign but overwhelmingly by the Remain camp. At least this time round I know I don’t know anything which is more than can be said for most of the campaigners. It would be good to spend one’s final years as part of a truly independent nation once more. I am intrigued that Mr. Cameron has failed to notice that the voting is to take place exactly 6 years, 6 weeks and 6 days since the General Election of 6 May 2010 which first brought him to power.
