The only thing I would worry about, if I we're you, ASFC1951 is that if GB pulls put of the EU (has not been called the EC for years now), would British football clubs still be allowed to play in the UEFA and European Champions League? (just kidding!!)
Sometimes it makes we sad to hear all our conservative British "lets not change anything" points of view. I can understand it as I'm British myself and half that partly inbred too, but having travelled I've been lucky enough to create an open mind. It's just a little frustrating sometimes when you know people don't have the whole truth.
The only way to know the truth is via information, find out as much as you can, for example on internet, about the pros and cons and keep an open mind, don't start making opinions until you hear both sides, and don't start with prejudices.
I hope GB makes the right choice, whatever it is. But remember, if the pound isn't linked to the Euro, it will contunue to be linked to the dollar, so never believe that GB is independent, our future is either more American, or more European or, if some organisations and governments of the world have their way, more Arab.
The days of British colonisation are over, and British indepence is really only a theory, all nations are linked these days through the UN, trade areas etc. Britain is a small island with just around 50 million inhabitants (simiar to the sum of Afgansitan and Iraq), we are not as powerful as we think and allies are a necessity to keep afloat.
