We should STAY in the EU

From my perspective, the UK should stay in the EU after the vote on the 23rd of the June 2016. Many jobs for British people about 3.5 million, are directly linked to Britain’s membership with the European Union. This is roughly one in ten jobs. Another point is exports and investment, the European Union buys over 50 percent of UK exports(54% of goods and 40% of services).

Great Expectations Chapter 11 Summary

Pip arrives at the gate and Estella lets him in. He waits in a room with three ladies and one man who are all Miss Havishams relatives. When they notice Pip, they look at him strangely. Estella takes Pip up to Miss Havishams room and he says he doesn’t want to play. Miss Havisham takes Pip across the hall to another big room. There were lots of small spiders and beetles running all over the place.

EU Referendum

Reasons why UK shouldn’t leave the EU:

  • Reasons To Leave:
  • Leaving the EU will have a severe financial toll on British families. Each household could lose up to £4,300
  • The flip side of the freedom of work and travel for UK citizens is that people from other EU countries are free to travel to and live in Britain. UKIP leader Nigel Farage says any attempt by the Government to control immigration into the UK is futile as long as we are in the EU.
  • Like most clubs, the EU charges a membership fee, and it has been claimed that the cost is around £55m per day.Analysis by Full Fact estimates the figure is closer to £24m per day when rebates and other receipts are taken into account.

What’s wrong with McDonalds?

  1. $2 Billion every year is spent on advertising and promotion. Company sales are over $40 billion per year.
  2. They promote their food as healthy and nutritious yet it contains processed food such as junk food which leads to life threatening illnesses.
  3. Workers are exploited with low wages in order to maximise profits. Staff turnover is high making it hard to form a union.
  4. Agricultural workers are exploited throughout the world.
  5. Forests, vital for everyone are being destroyed.
  6. Menus of burger chains are based of torture/murder of millions of animals.
