...not heard anything on that - but alot of generalised waffle about the "middle class" Pro vote & attendant high turn outs ( 71% in Richmond vs 47% in Tower Hamlets )....Northern Ireland was outer Siberia about which they didn't seem to have much of a clue...

Lincs arable farmers were already benefiting from the CAP as UK was already in the EEC at that point. IIRC, the policy favoured the large farmers: these were the years of hedge-ripping and prairies.

Coming to terms with late onset Anarchism
With the tory party almost completely united behind their, then newly elected, pro-EEC leader, (>90% tory MPs were 'Yes'), the 1975 results were much more of a surrogate of how traditionally tory the various counties were....hence the very high 'Yes' votes in N.Yorks, W.Sussex, Surrey, Lincs.,E.Sussex, Bucks etc.
Was a rumour they were going to legalise marrying a turnip. ANOTHER BROKEN PROMISE JACQUES DELORS!

You should have invited him to come round yours personally so you could tell the cunt to fuck off to his face.

Obviously Alan thought so, though presumably he's not emailed you about the NHS, the Housing act, the Trades Unions bill.....

Anyway it's kinda laughable. They obviously have me down as a 'Labour supporter' even though they wouldn't let me join as an affiliate member, pre the election of Corbyn on the most flimsiest contradictory made-up bollox imaginable, something for which I am now very grateful for.

Does seem a bit peculiar, could matter as a Welsh vote if there the results of the Celtic regions are different to England I suppose, but smacks of being stuck in a election spiel mode rather than referendum thinking.

RMT view:
What are the main reasons for leaving?
The EU represents an existential threat to public services. Ever since the 1986 Single European Act inaugurated the single market (“the Thatcherisation of Europe” in the words of the then young Tory hooray, John Bercow) the incremental liberalisation of essential public services has spread from transport, to postal services. Now the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) marks the full emergence of a corporate dominance over the public sector including education, housing and health services. If you want to prevent privatisation of schools, council housing and the NHS: vote to leave the EU.
...
So would it be possible for the railways to be renationalised under a Labour government?
Yes, the policy of rail renationalisation in Britain is simple, achievable and realistic. But only in defiance of EU directives on rail transport. In 2006 the French rail company SNCF was fined 600 million for failing to open its freight sector to private competition. In reality, rail renationalisation is not achievable while Britain remains a member state of the EU.

Are the RMT still supporting CAEF? The historically Stalinist dominated " CampaignAgainst Euro Federalism"
I ask because it has come to my attention that they are hosting a conference of "Euro Critical movements and parties before the referendum (Saturday 11th at FMH, Euston) which includes some eyebrow raising right wing voices. In a rather hysterical email urging support for the event the CAEF leader (Boyd?) appealed for support to combat " SWP thugs" who are poised to intervene. I kid you not.

Aye, but hypocrite he may be,but he is spot on with that remark, fuck the IMF, World bank et al, all those elitist bastards who are currently being scared shitless by the thought of the general public actually having the power to disrupt their complacent quasi dictatorship. Fuck em, vote out

One dodgy 'fact' from her side and suddenly she's remainarian!
Doesn't reflect well on her political intellect or integrity.

I reckon both sides will have planted a few switchers in the other camp.
