AS usual and like her ilk, ex-councillor Tracey Simpson-Laing is using scare tactics to sway people to the stay vote in the referendum.

I find it really sad that she believes her daughter and others in generations to come will not be able to access the very best of education and opportunity.

How does she believe all of us who were educated before the EU fared and achieved the highest standards and levels of teaching?

Seriously, does she believe that here in the UK, the very best country in the world for study, where thousands of international students are desperate to come every year, that when we vote out we do not have the best brains, the best opportunities, the best teachers to ensure, again, that our children and the world’s children will not benefit from these skills?

The EU is not the answer to everything and certainly not to this.

Let us decide our future with the very best that Britain has to offer – from here and across the world.
